Chrysler's offensive for the coming years is beginning to take shape and one of its most important pieces has already been seen. This is the Airflow 2027, a compact SUV that briefly appeared in a Stellantis corporate video and that anticipates the future of the brand in one of the most disputed segments in the United States.

Everything indicates that the company seeks to attract those who want a modern, technological SUV with a competitive price.

A historic name that comes back to life

The Airflow name has special weight in Chrysler history. It was originally used in the 1930s for a car that stood out for its aerodynamic innovations, something unusual for the time.

Decades later, the brand recovered that name for an electric concept presented in 2022. However, the project was put on hold while Chrysler reorganized its product plans. Now, Airflow returns with a much broader focus and closer to the current needs of the market.

Three mechanical paths for different clients

One of the most interesting aspects of the new model is its flexibility. Chrysler works on Stellantis' STLA One modular architecture, a platform designed to support different powertrains.

Thanks to that base, the Airflow could offer versions with a combustion engine, hybrid alternatives and fully electric variants.

The strategy would allow the brand to adapt to the preferences of each market without having to develop completely different models.

Competitive price and ongoing production

The first estimates point to an entry price close to $40,000, a figure that would place it against established benchmarks such as the Toyota RAV4, the Honda CR-V and the Ford Escape.

Production is scheduled to begin in autumn 2026 and it will be marketed as a 2027 model.

For Chrysler, the success of this SUV will be decisive, since it will mark its return to a category in which it has not participated for years and could become the vehicle in charge of revitalizing the brand beyond the well-known Chrysler Pacifica.
