The Chrysler Airflow was first produced 90 years ago; it was the first full-size production car in the U.S. with a design focused on less susceptibility to air resistance. Despite some famous owners (Babe Ruth being one of them), it never quite caught on with the public and was discontinued within three years. The Airflow is back for 2025, with the same focus on streamlining, but in an SUV EV form. Will it be successful this time around? Let’s take a look.
Key Takeaways:
- The Airflow has only its name in common with its 1930s predecessor—this 21st-century model is part of Chrysler’s expansive EV roll out.
- The Airflow’s price will start at about $50,000.
- You can expect to see the Airflow in showrooms in late 2024 or early 2025.
Is the 2025 Chrysler Airflow Powerful?
While we don’t have much information on the Chrysler Airflow's trim levels (we know there will be three—the Touring, Limited, and Pinnacle) we believe there will be single- and dual-motor configurations—the single motor will have either front- or rear-wheel drive as standard, white the dual motor will have all-wheel drive. According to Chrysler, each delivers about 201 horsepower.
Chrysler has stated that the Airflow will feature an 18.0-kWh battery pack with between 350 and 400 miles of driving range. As we learn more, we’ll update you here!
