Chrysler? Remember that name? If it is away from your radar, you will be forgiven, even it is celebrating its 100th anniversary. Once a prominent vehicle manufacturer today is one of the 14 brands, including stellentis.

And questions are arising about whether it will survive as a new CEO, which will take the euro-America vehicle manufacturer. If Chrysler has a role to enter the second century, then the pipeline popline will depend on a wave of new products.

When I spoke with the officials of Senior Chrysler, he gathered in Detroit last week, to celebrate the 100th birthday of the automaker, a lot of talk about Chrisler’s Halison days. Actually, the brand has a long and storey history. In this case, however, the conversation was focused as a past in the future.

no electricity

Halcyon, here, was the reference to the concept vehicle of that name. It is going to be the foundation of a new product attack starting next year when aging Chrysler Passifica Minivan A complete change occurs.

Do not expect to see a production version of Edgy and we first saw the Halcyon Show Car car back in February 2024. First, the brand has abandoned the plan to go 100% electric. But the basic design theme will take into various forms, including New Minivan, a crossover, and at least another product that will not fall easily in any traditional category, both Chrisler’s CEO Christine FuL and Stelantis Chief Described Ralph Giles.

Hug risk

Until some time ago, Chrysler seemed ready to put its future on another show car, Air flowViewed first Consumer electronics show (CES) Back to Las Vegas in 2022. It honored a famous Christler production model from the 1930s that was one of the first automobiles to actively embrace aerodynamic design. It was also expected that Chrisler became the first to move the All-Electric Path.

But Phuel did nothing right with Chrysler management, despite being described from the public as a “very favorable response”. A concern of concern: Will this design seem dated when it came into production? Finally, he realized that “we were not innovative and creative,” recalled Phuel. “We felt that we needed to take more risk.”

With the support of former stellentis CEO Carlos Thawres, Gills and his design team were sent back to their digital drawing board. The thing he came back with was a shocker.

Halcyon days

Chrysler has a long history of rolling out a state-of-the-art design-although it is very low to show for that time. Since the Big 300 sedan was out of production in December 2023, it has been left with just one product line, pacific, introduced in both gas and plug-in hybrid form.

Halcyon concept lasts up to some of the most foreign Chrysal concepts in the past, with features like “Air Blade” Front End it looks as if it rose from the latest set blade Runner Movies. Fuell said it is not easy to classify the design, “and it is deliberately.” “We wanted it to be a huge departure from the sea sea” which has become ideal with today’s EVS and crossover.

The interior has a futuristic look, with a gambling rather than a large digital display and a traditional steering wheel. But this concept does not practically dismiss, raising on stove-and-go seats, is one of the most popular features of Pacific Minivan. When automatically folded down, the rear seats disappear in the rear cargo area.

Waiting for Stella

There was a negative side when going away from airflow, pushed back for at least 2 years, some of the more essential new product launch.

“We had time,” Giles told me, as the corporate management decided to withdraw from the plan to go to all-electric. This meant that the major changes for the new “architecture” were getting ready to roll out the company, which included STLA Large – “Stella Large” internal. Instead of being EV-EV only, it will allow for “multi-energy” approach.

Stla Large recently outlined All-Electric Jeep Wagoner SBut, moving forward, stalentis will have six different drivetrain techniques in their toolbox: internal combustion, light, traditional and plug-in hybrids, range-relatives and battery-electric. Each new model will eventually be introduced with three of these different configurations, I was told last year by Antonio Philosa, who was appointed the person appointed as the new Stalentis CEO at the end of the previous month.

Pipeline opens

It seems that Chrysler will eventually start its product rollout for 2026, after endless wait, which will begin with a fully reinstated pacific minivan, described by Fuel as “inspired” from Halison. Keeping in mind the functional boundaries of a family’s move, it would be the most conservative of new products – although the CEO of Chrysler stressed that the carriageover design signs would be clear, especially at the front end.

The next generation of pacific expects to continue to offer both gas and PHEV options, feuell yes, when I suggested that it would require better fuel efficiency and more range in all-electric mode compared to 32 miles of current PHEV.

A year after the onset of the Pacific, we can expect Chrisler to “launch our first All-New Model in more than 10 years,” the CEO revealed. Expect this to be a de-segment crossover, put it against such main grounds Honda Passport And Hyundai Santa F Between the mainstream offerings and BMW X5 And Origin G80 For luxury buyers.

just the beginning

There is more coming there. “We need to stay in at least three segments so that they continue to grow and continue to flourish.” Add the “variants” of upcoming products such as pacific to further increase the reach of the brand.

Chrysler officials were more vigilant when it came for information about the next wave of the product, which would come late in the decade. For her share, Giles suggested that “a lot of white space (Chrysler) can serve” JeepDodge, and Collide The brand “can’t.” The bottom line is that the plans are still being formally formally given as Chrysler is “looking for intervals” between traditional product segments.

One thing to note is that Chrysler will follow the guidelines that outline the new CEO, Philaosa. With each new model, it will offer three separate powertrains. In the case of the de-segment crossover, it will begin with a traditional hybrid, in which an internal combustion engine will have to be followed. This will wrap the roll-out with an all-electrical option.
