In the world of motoring, horizons are constantly expanding, and Chrysler is setting new milestones with its latest Halcyon concept. Coming as the successor to the Airflow model, the concept brings the promise of an all-electric future and advanced technologies designed to create a deeper connection between the vehicle and its driver. This is a vision of the future - the Chrysler Halcyon.
Built on the Stellantis STLA Large platform it shares with the announced Dodge Charger Daytona EV, the Halcyon is not just any ordinary vehicle. With its 800-volt architecture and plenty of aerodynamic tricks, including a large front air passage, the concept doesn't appear to be as far removed from production as you might think at first glance. That is Chrysler Halcyon.
