[This all-electric crossover]() is Stellantis’ first forray into electrification and shows what the automaker’s vision will be as it relates to EVs. “The Chrysler Airflow Concept represents the start of the brand’s journey toward a fully electrified future,” said Ralph Gilles, chief design officer for Stellantis, during the reveal at CES. It is the result of a thoughtful synthesis of the full arsenal of Stellantis’ connected vehicle technology – inside and out.” Though this is *technically* a concept vehicle, it is expected to be part of the 2025 model year as Stellantis vows a full electric lineup for the Chrysler brand by the year 2028. Let’s look at some of the other things of note on the Chrysler Airflow Concept SUV. ### **Big range** The Airflow will utilize two 150 kW electric drive motors (EDMs) — one in the front and one in the rear to offer all-wheel drive (AWD). This SUV is built on Stellantis’ STLA AutoDrive platform which will allow for Level 3 autonomous driving capabilities and Level 3 fast charging. Over-the-air (OTA) updates are an integral part of the STLA AutoDrive platform. Stellantis proclaims that the Airflow should have a range of 350-400 miles. ### **Artificial Intelligence** Stellantis calls its AI system STLA Brain and STLA SmartCockpit, which is a connected hub that brings a consumer’s digital lifestyle into the vehicle, using advanced technology to create a customized space for each occupant. According to Stellantis: “The STLA SmartCockpit, demonstrated in the Airflow Concept and built on top of STLA Brain architecture, seamlessly integrates with the digital lives of vehicle occupants to deliver AI-based applications, such as navigation, voice assistance, e-commerce marketplace and payment services.” This is all part of a trend in today’s vehicles (and certainly future vehicles) of offering connected vehicles and personalized streaming-like [subscription services]() for things you want inside a vehicle. These will all come via OTA software updates. The Airflow is a peek into what that future will look like in this regard. ![Chrysler Airflow Concept]() The Chrysler Airflow Concept announces its electric aesthetic with the Chrysler Wing logo tied into a cross-car grille/light blade illuminated with crystal LED lighting.

A crystal LED taillight runs the full width of the vehicle, accentuating the wide stance. “Crystal LED” sounds futuristic, and judging by the photos of the Airflow the lighting looks tremendous — especially in conjunction with the Chrysler logo. The Airflow’s grille is also attractive without looking too futuristic as some EVs tend to be. ### **Long wheelbase, wide track** The first things you’ll notice on the Airflow Concept are the 22-inch wheels and tires. On a crossover this gives it a strong posture and almost aggressive stance. The long wheelbase and wide track is intentional. Celestial Blue accent color cladding is a design element is intended to give it a dramatic look on the confident, wider stance. ### **Chrysler Airflow interior** The interior of this concept vehicle is like nothing Chrysler has developed before, but also you can see hints of what Stellantis has recently done successfully in the Jeep Grand Wagoneer. An elegant, modern, high-quality refined interior is what was showcased during the CES reveal of the Airflow. Some of the interior elements to get excited about include: - Personal screens for each occupant of the vehicle - Built-in camera for each occupant of the vehicle (for personal calls) - An ultra-cool headrest that looks incredibly supportive - Vegetable-tanned leather surfaces - Floor mats, fabric and carpeting made of recycled materials ### **The bottom line on the Chrysler Airflow Concept** I love concept vehicles. But then I’m often annoyed when cool features (like the ones mentioned above) don’t make it into the final production model. It’s undetermined what will make the cut when this all-electric SUV comes out. We’re hoping it will hold up to what was revealed at CES because it looks cool. Kudos to Stellantis for putting the Chrysler name and logo on it, and many people may not be aware, but the Airflow name is a rehash from a cool vehicle it made in the 1930s. That first Chrysler Airflow was pretty cutting edge for its time, and this new Airflow Concept seems to be equally cutting edge. The Chrysler Airflow Concept features a dynamic design proportion, with a low ride height and streamlined, two-tone roof line that achieves an elegant yet athletic profile.

Ambient lighting in the Chrysler Airflow Concept reveals itself in direct lines, adding modernity, and syncs to the mood of the interior and changes based on the passengers’ preferences and the content on the displays. The sculptural, expressive design of the Chrysler Airflow Concept envisions the next generation of premium transportation and user experience. Functional and ambient lighting helps the driver and passengers create a personalized inner sanctum, augmented by the Chrysler Airflow Concept’s panoramic roof that allows daylight to stream into the cabin.
