Why this Chrysler Halcyon is the new Alfa Romeo

Why this Chrysler Halcyon is the new Alfa Romeo


Chrysler is a brand that almost doesn’t exist anymore. It offers only two examples in the US, both of which are very old. But that should change, with this Halcyon.

We call the Chrysler Halcyon the new Alfa Romeo, because this American concept car has the STLA Grand platform from Stellantis as its technical basis.

Eight new models

This will include eight models by 2026, including a successor to the Giulia as well as an electric Chrysler, which is scheduled for 2025.

The car can’t come fast enough, because… Chrysler is on the verge of death. The brand sells only the eight-year-old Pacifica and the thirteen-year-old 300C.

Chrysler Halcyon Concept

You shouldn’t expect a production variant of this Halcyon, it’s too late for that. Chrysler offers few details about the car. However, we already know a few things about the massive STLA platform.

It can keep enough batteries for a distance of up to 800 km and can even be used for high-end sports cars that accelerate from a standstill to 100 km / h in 2.0 seconds.

Chrysler reports that the Halcyon’s 800V batteries can be charged wirelessly. Therefore, the brand claims, it will have an unlimited range on the special surface of the input road. Yes, we would like one of those too.

Design example

Therefore, Halcyon is not very realistic. He is more than a fictional character. A mission statement from the Chrysler brand, which wants to be fully electric by 2028. So there is work to be done.

Is the Halcyon recognizable as a Chrysler? Not that we can see. Its appearance seems to be dictated mainly by the wind tunnel, as is the case with many electric vehicles. Although Chrysler does not have a strong visual identity however.

Where is the airflow?

By the way, we wonder what happened to the Chrysler Airflow. The 2022 concept car was seen as a real hint of a new Chrysler, but it was apparently shot down in the middle of last year.
