Chrysler unveiled the Chrysler Halcyon Concept, exemplifying a fully electrified future of the Chrysler brand that embraces sustainability-driven exterior and interior design.

The Chrysler Halcyon Concept, designed on the STLA Large platform, offers an aerodynamic, streamlined and uncompromising vision of the Chrysler brand's future exterior character. The thin, clean, cross-car front LED headlamp is adaptive and centered by a new LED-lit Chrysler wing logo, first debuted on the Chrysler Airflow Concept. Front air curtains are designed to direct air flow for aerodynamic performance. The concept's windshield extends out to the edges of the front end, elongating the cockpit to create a wide, sweeping view that connects the driver to the road.

Thin, blade-like side mirrors house cameras for a slimmer aero profile, and autonomous entry into the concept eliminates the need for door handles. Lightweight, machine-faced 22-inch wheels feature a unique turbine-shape design, with center caps accented by the new interpretation of the Chrysler wing logo. Wheels are wrapped with low-rolling resistance 255/35R22 Pirelli tires. A warm Acrylic-tinted butterfly-hinged canopy serves as a third door and works in symphony with the red-carpet-style side doors to offer spacious ingress and egress. The flowing glass canopy integrates the exterior and interior and provides seamless views, with the expansive windshield, canopy and rear hatch working together to provide an immersive experience.

The rear of the Chrysler Halcyon Concept also carries its own unique silhouette, with a water line that emphasizes the width and shoulders of the car, and the front's cross-car read and LED-lit Chrysler wing logo are mirrored in the rear. A back camera serves as a futuristic rearview mirror, projecting the rearview to the console and/or cross-car screen located just above the footrest.

The sculpted cockpit is centered by a cross-car pillar-to-pillar transparent display, providing a forward-looking view of information while keeping eyes on the road. Complementing the display is a stowable 15.6-inch console screen that can be rotated for either portrait or landscape orientation and can assist in start-up and quick access to information. The displays can be fully controlled by voice recognition commands, diminishing the need for driver input.

Rear seats retract into the trunk area to highlight a potential next-generation vision of Stow 'n Go seating, first invented for Chrysler minivans. The rear seats stow away either through biometric identification or voice command to open space for groceries, pet kennels and more. The Dark Grey wood interior floor features a malleable, textile-infused wood with a microfiber backing, offering multiple potential applications.
