FCA 2020 Airflow Vision Concept :Comments

[Drew Dowdell]

Fiat Chrysler is bringing a slew of concepts to the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas that all feature some sort of electrification.

The centerpiece of their display will be the 2020 Airflow Vision concept.  While not specifically branded as a Chrysler, the Airflow Vision does take the name of a full-size Chrysler model produced from 1934 - 1937.  FCA calls it a "sculptural design concept" that envisions the next generation of premium transportation.  The interior user experience is designed to be captivating. FCA put a lot of work into showing a sophisticated appearance that can be personalized and customized to individual needs. 

The cabin offers multiple interfaces, one behind the steering wheel, two on the center console, one for the front passenger, and two more for the rear passengers. Information can be shared between the screens by swiping.  The interior is said to be the same size as the Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in and has a flat load floor. In spite of all that room, it only has 4 seats set up in a lounge chair fashion to maximize legroom, shoulder room, and storage space for each passenger. Premium suedes and leathers, along with ambient lighting make the ride a first-class experience. 

The exterior of the Airflow Vision has an aggressive stance with bodywork reaching almost to the ground. The wheels hint at the use of electric motors, but no powertrain information was provided.

Interior is interesting and not bad the exterior leaves much to be desired, just not pushing the design edge enough to stand out as Special / Luxury.

These just look like concept drawings. I wonder what it looks like when there are actual pictures released.

Inspirational aspect at the concept stage is disappointing.

Foretelling the new larger crossover they've rumored for years, maybe?

The exterior images are so vague and without detail that it looks like a mid size-ish crossover with a sleek roofline .. the taillight makes me think Dodge.
