The Chrysler Airflow is a concept mid-size crossover SUV developed by Chrysler.
The Chrysler Airflow Vision Concept was announced by the FCA USA at CES 2020 ahead of its official presentation two years later at CES 2022. [1] [2] A production-ready concept made its debut at the 2022 New York International Auto Show. [3]
The Airflow is named after the original Chrysler Airflow, the first car whose design took into account the importance of aerodynamics. The goal is to show an evolution of the automobile as did its ancestor. [4]
The Airflow is equipped with an electric motor and a futuristic design. Shaped like a compact SUV, the lines are fluid but muscular. The wheels are wrapped in their arches, and the grille features an illuminated Chrysler winged logo. Inside, all of the equipment is digital with the exception of the start button and the steering wheel navigation keys. [5] The screen interface is customizable, each passenger having access to vehicle information in real time. The vehicle control system will be one of the first to leverage the STLA Brain software architecture, an AI driven driver assist and experience ecosystem for Stellantis vehicles. [6]
While the Airflow was making its way to a production schedule, in mid 2023, the head of design indicated that an already in progress alternative design would take over for the design that the public had seen for the previous two years. An estimated 2025 model year vehicle is still planned as the redesign was already underway when the announcement was shared. [7]
