Stellantis used their EV Day event to introduce a mysterious Chrysler crossover concept. Fast forward to today and the automaker has confirmed the concept is called the Airflow, and will be celebrating its official debut at CES. The company will have more to say about the model on January 5th, but they teased the Airflow will lead the “brand’s transformation to clean mobility and seamlessly connected customer experiences.”
While Stellantis is staying tight-lipped,
the concept features streamlined styling, plastic body cladding, and large
alloy wheels. The model also appears to
be roughly the same size as the Ford Mustang Mach-E. The cabin is decidedly
more futuristic as it features a digital instrument cluster, a freestanding
infotainment system, and a front passenger display just like the 2022 Jeep
Grand Cherokee L. The concept has also been equipped with a rear seat
entertainment system, a floating center console, and a minimalist design.
When the concept was originally introduced
earlier this year, Ralph Gilles suggested it rode on the upcoming STLA Large
platform. It’s slated to underpin electric vehicles with a range of up to 805 km, thanks to a battery pack with a capacity ranging from 101 to
118 kWh. However, more recent reports have suggested it could be based on the
STLA Medium platform and go into production by 2024.
Besides the Airflow, Stellantis will be
showcasing a handful of other models including the Citroën Ami and Skate
Mobility concept as well as the New Fiat 500. They’ll be joined by an
assortment of Jeeps such as the Grand Cherokee 4xe, Wrangler 4xe, and Wagoneer
/ Grand Wagoneer.
