Stellantis Develops Electric Successor to the Chrysler 300

Chrysler is working on the development of an electric family sedan that will revive the “300” nameplate and is scheduled to go into production in 2029, according to a report by the MotorTrend website.

Although Christine Feuell, the brand's executive director, has commented on several occasions that the company is working on the development of a product with these characteristics, this is the first time that details of the project have been revealed.

According to Canadian journalist Alisa Priddle, the vehicle will have all-wheel drive (AWD) and will incorporate design and technology elements from the Halcyon concept, unveiled by the Stellantis division in early 2024.

Although futuristic, this proposal “demonstrates Chrysler's firm belief in the viability of an elegant yet functional sedan,” says Priddle.

The new sedan will be developed on the STLA Large platform, which will accommodate almost any type of powertrain, from 100% electric to electrified internal combustion.

In the case of the zero-emission variant, it is estimated that it will have a range of up to 400 miles, although it is unclear whether it will feature 400- or 800-volt architecture, given that the platform supports both.

The 300 will also use the STLA Smart Cockpit system, the STLA Brain for connectivity and software-defined vehicle (SDV) capabilities, and the STLA AutoDrive for autonomous driving capability.
