However, Chrysler has promised an electric car by 2025. There's no hard date for this specific car to go into production. And those rear passengers have a whole lot of screen space too. So all the packaging is really making a lot of sense. It sort of matches the exterior of the car.Īnd as I look into the back seat, there's a whole lot of space back there too. I'm digging all of the sort of gray and bronze-ish accents in here. Really, really cool looking from in here. And it's apparently also the shifter, so that's how you put it into drive, reverse. One other really nice touch that I'm enjoying is this crystal glass start-stop button. Very, very neat look that is definitely different from most Chryslers you'd see today. And these controls here- almost set in crystal glass, it looks like. This steering wheel is very futuristic looking. And then you have a large instrument cluster screen as well. Passenger has- it looks like one, two screens. You have screens galore- a lower screen here for your climate control, a big one for your infotainment. This is a lot nicer than any Chrysler I've ever been in. A little more subtle down here- just see it by the reflectors- but they are indeed present. It's called the Graphite- what they've done to change this car. So back here, you can see, well, its new name. It is crossover height, but it's not super large. It looks pretty snazzy.Īnd how about we move along to the rear of the car here? You know, it's sort of one of those in-betweener cars, as far as the segment- maybe looks a little like an IONIQ 5.

This is a full LED light bar when it is turned on. This was all just one straight piece before, but now you'll see little jagged lightning strikes and the new Chrysler logo up here. They've added on the grille some lightning strikes to signify that it is electric. And then around front is one of the small, real design changes with this car. You'll notice it's not the normal Chrysler logo on those wheels. I really like a lot of the detailing going on here- all of the bronze accents, the bronze and black wheels, the, well, modified Chrysler crest. So I asked Chrysler, why did you do this twice? And, well, they redesigned this car for the New York market, for the New York show itself, just because they think that this sort of color scheme would appeal more to people living in the city, people living on the East Coast, as opposed to Vegas. And they've also added a whole lot of bronze accents here. So this car was initially revealed in a very stark white paint, but now it's obviously painted black. And now, they've brought it back to the New York Auto Show, but they've brought it back with a totally different appearance package.

Chrysler rolled it out at CES earlier this year. This is actually the second time we've seen it. And this right here is the Chrysler Airflow concept. ZAC PALMER: I'm Zac Palmer with Autoblog. The lower fascia appears a bit more sharply defined too, but it could just be the lighting. As we saw in the teaser, the updated Airflow gets a new grille design with a thin light bar at the Airflow's nose and acute beneath flanking the headlights forming a symmetrical pair of lightning bolts (gee, d'ya suppose it's electric?) aimed at the car's nose. In the meantime, the design team has been tweaking the looks. Chrysler's builders are evidently still hard at work putting together a final product that lives up to the initial hype and range target of 400 miles on a charge. That's the beauty of an EV once you have the basic design nailed down, the rest is really just an elaborate Lego project. Perhaps that's because this concept isn't yet particularly substantial. This version of the Airflow is dubbed "Graphite" and is the iteration Chrysler teased ahead of the show, but as we expected, not much of substance has really changed. The brand's first electric vehicle is due by 2025, and some variant of this definitely-not-a-revived-Celine-Dion-era-Pacifica-crossover thing is likely to be it. Chrysler's Airflow electric crossover returned to the stage in New York Wednesday in a new exterior finish as Chrysler's development engineers creep closer and closer to their goal of taking the brand all-electric by 2028.
