With only one vehicle currently in its lineup (the\u00a0<strong>Pacifica minivan<\/strong>), the brand\u2019s outlook feels increasingly uncertain. While exciting concept cars like the\u00a0<strong>Chrysler Halcyon<\/strong>\u00a0promise a bold electric future, the big question remains:\u00a0<strong>Will any of them actually make production?<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative col-body mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"rounded-lg\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/ROZutrGpIu4VJ5oeyCQXqg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MA--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/autoblog_arena_articles_145\/ee26595d92b0d682b4159d3c8875c7ed\" alt=\"\" data-nimg=\"1\" \/><button class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" aria-label=\"View larger image\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\" data-rapid_p=\"6\" data-v9y=\"1\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Since taking over as CEO in\u00a0<strong>September 2021<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Chris Feuell<\/strong>\u00a0has led the brand for nearly four years. In that time, we\u2019ve seen a handful of design studies, including the Airflow and Halcyon concepts, but no new production models have emerged. There\u2019s talk of an\u00a0<strong>updated Pacifica possibly arriving before the end of 2025<\/strong>, but for a company with over a century of history, things are starting to look bleak.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">As for the Halcyon:\u00a0<strong>No, it is\u00a0<em>not<\/em>\u00a0confirmed for production<\/strong>. Chrysler itself says the concept serves as a\u00a0<strong>design and technology preview<\/strong>\u00a0for the brand\u2019s electric future. In other words, you can expect\u00a0<strong>styling cues, tech features, and platform architecture<\/strong>\u00a0to influence upcoming Chrysler EVs \u2014 even if the Halcyon itself never sees a showroom.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative col-body mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"rounded-lg\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/_3uvP7npsDMozs5aBR6JKg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MA--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/autoblog_arena_articles_145\/c78a01d996e167a5a45f819804847be5\" alt=\"\" data-nimg=\"1\" \/><button class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" aria-label=\"View larger image\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\" data-rapid_p=\"7\" data-v9y=\"1\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\"><em>View the 3 images of this gallery on the\u00a0<a class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/features\/will-the-chrysler-halcyon-concept-enter-production\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-ylk=\"slk:original article;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-rapid_p=\"32\">original article<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"col-body mb-4 font-bold text-2xl md:text-3xl\">Parts of the Halcyon concept may live on<\/h2>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Some of the futuristic tech might eventually trickle down into production, like the\u00a0<strong>15.6-inch rotating touchscreen<\/strong>\u00a0(which can shift between vertical and horizontal orientation) or some of the\u00a0<strong>AI-assisted infotainment features<\/strong>\u00a0that integrate navigation and personalization. Design-wise, the sleek lighting, minimalist shape, and fastback proportions could definitely reappear in future models.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">One thing we\u2019re skeptical about? The\u00a0<strong>Dynamic Inductive Charging system<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 an ambitious idea where the car charges as it drives using electrified road infrastructure. While theoretically promising, there\u2019s\u00a0<strong>currently no public infrastructure in place in the U.S.<\/strong>, making it highly unlikely to appear anytime soon.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative col-body mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"rounded-lg\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/a5W23nUIC9wPAMQnZLGHYw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MA--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/autoblog_arena_articles_145\/80b987839e2156c4c93e7163fdcf27fe\" alt=\"\" data-nimg=\"1\" \/><button class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" aria-label=\"View larger image\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\" data-rapid_p=\"9\" data-v9y=\"1\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"col-body mb-4 font-bold text-2xl md:text-3xl\">How does Chrysler move forward?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">If Chrysler wants to stay relevant, or even stay alive, it needs more than sleek concepts and vague timelines. It requires product, and it needs it soon. With that in mind, I have an idea that might incentivize some of the product planners at Chrysler. It all comes down to working with what you&#8217;ve got.<\/p>\n<div class=\"col-fullbleed mb-4 bg-marshmallow pb-5 dark:bg-ramones md:invisible md:mb-0 md:h-0 md:overflow-hidden md:pb-0\">\n<div class=\"py-2 text-center text-xs uppercase\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-body mb-4 hidden pb-5 dark:bg-ramones md:block\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\">\n<div id=\"\u00abRa1qpqtiafetulbH1\u00bb\" class=\"flex\">\n<div id=\"\u00abRa1qpqtiafetulb\u00bb\" class=\"flex\" data-google-query-id=\"CLq-gq_Q-o4DFV7pEQgdndgW8Q\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/22888152279\/us\/yauto\/ros\/dt\/us_yauto_ros_dt_mid_center_1__container__\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/22888152279\/us\/yauto\/ros\/dt\/us_yauto_ros_dt_mid_center_1\" tabindex=\"0\" title=\"3rd party ad content\" src=\"https:\/\/5fc259b58f5d511d7891bfe3bdf35b43.safeframe.googlesyndication.com\/safeframe\/1-0-45\/html\/container.html\" name=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" data-is-safeframe=\"true\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\" data-google-container-id=\"3\" data-load-complete=\"true\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Here&#8217;s my point, and I know through the grapevine that others at Stellantis feel the same way: The 2025 Dodge Charger is built on\u00a0Stellantis&#8217; STLA Large platform.\u00a0For those who are unfamiliar, this platform is designed to be flexible, supporting both electric and internal combustion engines. It can also work with all-wheel drive, front-wheel drive, and rear-wheel drive configurations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">We all know that the 2025 Dodge Charger EV is having issues selling, even after some of its bugs have been ironed out. Additionally, the ride and performance of the Charger EV are comfortable, compliant and smooth. All of these traits bode well for a (near) future Chrysler product. Yes, take the Charger EV, and make it into a Chrysler EV. I think this would be a better use of resources than simply ignoring it, while adding a gas engine to it.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative col-body mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"rounded-lg\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/e51tGf9sDFXhGwMBWG2nJQ--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MA--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/autoblog_arena_articles_145\/fbf4d94272da64aed108e1dcc84cc265\" alt=\"\" data-nimg=\"1\" \/><button class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" aria-label=\"View larger image\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\" data-rapid_p=\"10\" data-v9y=\"1\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<div class=\"col-fullbleed mb-4 bg-marshmallow pb-5 dark:bg-ramones md:invisible md:mb-0 md:h-0 md:overflow-hidden md:pb-0\">\n<div class=\"py-2 text-center text-xs uppercase\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-body mb-4 hidden pb-5 dark:bg-ramones md:block\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\">\n<div id=\"\u00abRahqpqtiafetulbH1\u00bb\" class=\"flex\">\n<div id=\"\u00abRahqpqtiafetulb\u00bb\" class=\"flex\" data-google-query-id=\"CLu-gq_Q-o4DFV7pEQgdndgW8Q\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/22888152279\/us\/yauto\/ros\/dt\/us_yauto_ros_dt_mid_center_2__container__\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/22888152279\/us\/yauto\/ros\/dt\/us_yauto_ros_dt_mid_center_2\" tabindex=\"0\" title=\"3rd party ad content\" src=\"https:\/\/5fc259b58f5d511d7891bfe3bdf35b43.safeframe.googlesyndication.com\/safeframe\/1-0-45\/html\/container.html\" name=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" data-is-safeframe=\"true\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\" data-google-container-id=\"4\" data-load-complete=\"true\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"col-body mb-4 font-bold text-2xl md:text-3xl\">Final thoughts<\/h2>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Despite my concerns and suggestions, it appears that Chrysler will continue to limp along for a while longer. The Pacifica is due for an update very soon, and we have been promised a new product as well. What this &#8220;new&#8221; product will be is still a mystery, but it will not be the Chrysler Halcyon concept<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chrysler is in big trouble.
