Chrysler unveiled the Chrysler Halcyon Concept, exemplifying a fully electrified future of the Chrysler brand that embraces sustainability-driven exterior and interior design, full autonomy paired with personalized driving experiences and futuristic technology that expands on the brand’s “Harmony in Motion” ethos of customer-focused ,seamless connectivity.
“The Chrysler Halcyon Concept creates a level of serenity that fully represents the Halcyon name. The Halcyon showcases innovative and sustainable mobility solutions that embrace technology and offer value to customers while delivering Harmony in Motion,” said Chris Feuell, Chrysler brand chief executive officer – Stellantis. “The Chrysler Halcyon Concept brings to life a fully electric tomorrow through new technology suites from Stellantis that integrate with simple and pure aerodynamic design and a seamless, connected and immersive cockpit experience.”
The Chrysler Halcyon Concept is the latest in a steady progression of futuristic concepts representing the brand’s electrification transformation. Previously, the brand revealed the Chrysler Portal Concept in 2017, the Chrysler Airflow Concept in 2022 and the Chrysler Synthesis Cockpit Demonstrator in 2023.
The Chrysler Halcyon Concept’s combination of seamless technology and battery-electric performance work in harmony with a pure, streamlined exterior design that ingeniously embeds aerodynamic elements.
Chrysler will launch the brand’s first battery-electric vehicle in 2025 and will feature an all-electric portfolio in 2028. The Chrysler Halcyon Concept reinforces the brand’s commitment to the Stellantis Dare Forward 2030 plan, which cultivates the electrified and more efficient propulsion systems that will enable Stellantis to cut its global carbon footprint by 50 percent by 2030 and lead the transportation industry by achieving net carbon zero by 2038.
The concept’s unique Elemental Silver color was chosen to give the aesthetic illusion of an exterior fashioned from recycled metals.
The reverse-yoke-designed steering wheel folds away, with pedals also retracting when the steering wheel retracts to provide a Zen-like environment. The steering wheel’s center Chrysler wing logo, as well as other areas of the cabin add sustainable design inspired by Detroit’s musical culture and heritage, integrate crushed and 100 percent composite material, made from recycled post-consumer CD media.
The lightweight, keystone-shaped front seats are luxurious and sleek, as well as supportive, and wrap over the glass center console, giving the interior continuity. The front seats also can fully retract into the rear seat position, creating a giant accessible area. As with the steering wheel, front seat inserts incorporate the Chrysler wing logo, made from crushed recycled CDs.
Interior materials were chosen not just for sustainability, but also for compatibility. The open-air character of the cockpit, includes laser-pattern, solar white suede, made from 73 percent recycled content and is used in the upper seat and door construction. A non-leather, synthetic, soft trim wraps the lower seats, with seatbacks wrapped in solar white synthetic soft trim. Polyester, 100 percent recycled, mélange heather fabric also accents the interior.
