The Chrysler Halcyon differs from the previous Chrysler Airflow concept with an even more futuristic, and partly sci-fi design. It is a very low car, with its front and rear doors opening 90 degrees, showcasing a spacious interior. To make entry easier, the roof panels rise in a gull wing style. At the rear is a modest boot.
The concept is built on the Stellantis STLA Large platform. The same architecture will be used in the future Dodge Charger Daytona EV and other production cars. Chrysler claims the Halcyon uses an 800-volt system.

Halcyon is equipped with a Level 4 automated driving system. The driver can sit back and watch the stars through the panoramic roof. At the front, there is a large pillar-to-pillar screen. It is complemented by a projection display. The powertrain gets its electricity from a lithium-sulfur battery of unknown capacity.
Chrysler claims the Halcyon makes extensive use of artificial intelligence for a customisable driving experience, where the car greets you with a special light and sound display as you approach. It prepares for your journey by taking into account a variety of factors, from weather conditions to your daily calendar.

There's more to the greeting. Biometric scanners recognise the driver. The car then emits soothing sounds and activates the stored settings for everything. The soothing sounds are complemented by visualisations on the car's screens. Chrysler calls it "Harmony in Motion."
Chrysler isn't even trying to hint that the Halcyon will get a sequel in the form of a production car. However, this concept gives a glimpse of what the design of the new electric cars will be like. For instance, Chrysler plans to introduce its first electric car in 2025 and become an all-electric brand by 2028.
