2026 Chrysler Halcyon SUV.
Last Updated:
Chrysler is now officially talking about a new SUV based on the Halcyon concept from last year. This illustration gives us an idea of what it could look like.
Chrysler’s CEO, Christine Feuell mentioned a few new products coming up for the brand. Currently, Chrysler only offers the Pacifica Minivan. Sure, different versions are available, like a PHEV, regular V6, FWD and AWD. But it is still just one model for a whole brand. And that’s pretty sad…
“Chrysler is here to stay, it is being well invested in. It has a very bright future”. Which is great news. However, it also sounds a bit like what Ford was saying about Mercury a few decades ago…
Apparently, the futuristic Halcyon concept will inspire a new SUV. This sounds a bit weird since the concept looked like a really low futuristic sports sedan. It will use the same platform as the new 2025 Dodge Charger and many other Stellantis models. Which means a Hybrid would be possible as well as a pure EV.
A new SUV is a no-brainer to restart a brand. It seems any SUV will sell these days. From any brand. If Chrysler can find a way to come up with an attractive futuristic design for their new SUV, I say why not!
The brands need something, anything. I think they did a great job with the 2025 Charger and gave it amazing vintage Dodge DNA. It seems retro is not in the card for Chrysler and that’s fine. As long as it has some personality.
Christine Feuell also mentioned a sedan is being developed based on the concept and a new generation of the Pacifica Minivan.
I will have more on these later…
