rmc523 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 https://www.autoblog.com/2022/01/05/chrysler-airflow-concept-reveal-ces-electric-car-future/ Quote Chrysler was light on mechanical details. All the company said was that it features two 201-horsepower electric motors, one at the front, the other at the rear for all-wheel drive. Exact battery capacity wasn't given, but Chrysler says range should be between 350 and 400 miles. Additionally, the car supposedly features SAE Level 3 semi-autonomous driver assist under the name STLA AutoDrive. Chrysler hasn't explicitly said the Airflow is coming to production, but this concept looks like it's almost ready for market. The brand also said that its first EV is coming before 2025, a step towards going fully electric by 2028. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willwll313wll Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Way to make your show car body lines disappear behind color stark white paint... Its not like it needed to be toned down anymore then it already does on it's own. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Looks like a squashed Edge. I kinda like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 You think ford will send them the Corsair tooling for that tail light bar? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-dubz Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Is it just the angle of the pic or is Chrysler going with the cab-forward design again? Not sure I’d I like that, however that interior is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I’d I like that, however that interior is nice. It's more cab forward. Overall I actually think it looks pretty good, even if conservative/derivative. They borrowed elements from all over and made a nice looking vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more due to using the EV skateboard to differently proportion the vehicle - I think these EVs will have much more interior space relative to their wheelbase, ala the EV Jag. The Chevy Equinox EV shows the same proportions (check out the one in the background): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No engine and transmission and driveline to dictate wheel and firewall location. Truly a clean sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without an engine up front, you don't need a longer hood, aside from for styling purposes. The rear of that Equinox looks too much like the Envision to me.

Dequindre Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I really like this concept. The timing is unfortunate though; Chrysler could use this in showrooms now, not 2024. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-dubz Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 This has an odd shape to me. The back looks strange, but it’s similar to other EVs. With the shorter front, it doesn’t look as good as a traditionally styled suv. Guess this new aerodynamic form factor will just take some getting used to. I think the Ioniq 5 looks better. Its angular design helps hide the jellybean look that so many of these EVs suffer from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my first thought as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
