Chrysler, the smallest of Detroit’s ‘big 3’ automakers, is down to just a single vehicle in its lineup. With just the Pacifica minivan to its name, the once innovative automaker seems to be on the ropes.
But perhaps it does have some more life in it, and the brand’s newly announced Halcyon concept wants you to believe.
The 100 year old automaker has flirted with EVs before, but failed to bring its Portal concept to market, despite many promises. The Halcyon is a low-slung 4-door coupe, a car full of tricks and sleek design flourishes that feel appropriate to its conceptual nature. Level-4 autonomy seems optimistic, as does the full augmented reality cockpit.
Chrysler touts the ability of the Halcyon to charge wirelessly while driving on properly equipped electric roadways.
We appreciate the unique door openings, large glass canopy, and overall dimensions, which eschew big SUV form, and give a proper sleek sedan form its due.
With any luck, Chrysler will follow-through on its promise, and create a production-ready version of the Halcyon. Check out their website for more details.
“Chrysler is also using a lot of recycled materials for the interior, including the automaker’s wing logos constructed from crushed and recycled music CDs. Overall, the company says 95 percent of the interior is made from “sustainable” materials.”
