Chrysler’s Future: New EVs, Minivans, and a 2028 Cordoba?

Chrysler is rumored to quietly planning its comeback, but the details are still vague. And everything seems to be changing every 6 months, However, Stellantis insists: “The brand isn’t dead.”

Upcoming Chrysler Models

So far, we know:

  • New EV SUV: Related to the Jeep Wagoneer S, expected in 2027.
  • Pacifica Refresh: A heavy update to the current minivan seems around the corner.
  • All-New EV Minivan: Based on the STLA platform, part of Stellantis’ EV strategy.

Chrysler might have some kind of a roadmap, which is quite a change from the old Sergio Marchionne era.

What Fans Really Want: A New Large Coupe

Imagine a modern Chrysler Cordoba, inspired by the Dodge Charger. A luxurious, full-size 2-door coupe could combine American muscle proportions with modern EV/Hybrid tech.

  • Size & Style: The new Charger is over 206 inches long, roughly the size of a Mercedes S-Class, evoking the golden age of 1970s American coupes.
  • Chrysler Cordoba Heritage: The original Cordoba was luxurious, over-the-top, and aimed to rival European sedans—something a modern reinterpretation could echo.

A new Cordoba would offer a fancy alternative to the SUV-dominated market, appealing to buyers craving style and luxury in a unique format.

Could This Happen?

That lies between “uncertain” and “probably not”. The market for large, luxurious 2-door cars is tiny today. But if the Dodge Charger succeeds, Chrysler could explore a premium coupe to stand out.

  • Nostalgia Factor: Taps into classic American coupe design.
  • Luxury Twist: More upscale, almost Rolls-Royce inspired—but at a fraction of the price.

Chrysler’s revival could bring a new era of bold, stylish vehicles. Could a modern Cordoba signal a return to the classic malaise-era charm? Time will tell.

  1. I’m waiting for the next installment of Recollections of Aunt Faye. Its more likely than any update from Chrysler.

  2. The cordoba should be a GTC under 100k muscle and luxury is where they should aim. I’d hire X-VAG /Toyota engineers and executives to run & organize Chrysler ONLY first. Strengthen its hybrid tech , Reliability, get into performance racing. Need a Lawrence Stroll head. Then help them organize their other brands.
