Chrysler Halcyon Concept Made Its First Public Appearance

The recently unveiled Chrysler Halcyon Concept made a surprise appearance at this past weekend’s Amelia Concours d’Elegance at The Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island in Amelia Island, Florida. It marked the first public appearance of the concept that is set to push the Chrysler brand’s new design direction.

Chrysler CEO, Christine Feuell, highlighted the Halcyon as an important transition from the popular Airflow Concept. While the Airflow presented itself as a handsome all-electric all-wheel-drive (AWD) crossover, the Halcyon becomes a more conceptual four-door coupe, featuring radical “pipedream” ideology.

“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,” Feuell stated.

The Halcyon Concept has been the center of criticism from Chrysler fans, with many saying the Halcyon shows “how out of touch Stellantis is with its North American customers.” Those who expressed concern say they are tired of seeing concept vehicles and instead want to see actual products in dealer showrooms.

As we are well into the 2024 model year, the Chrysler brand portfolio consists of just one vehicle for the U.S., the Chrysler Pacifica minivan. Chrysler Canada continues to market its more budget-friendly Grand Caravan, a variant of the Pacifica.

The Pacifica is said to be the lone vehicle in the brand’s portfolio for the next 15 months until a new two-row crossover is scheduled to appear in 2025. Feuell says that the Chrysler brand will move to an all-electric portfolio in 2028.

Head of Stellantis Design, Ralph Gilles, was on hand at the Amelia Island event and posted these images of the Halcyon from its reveal.
