Chrysler Stellantis

Chrysler as a brand is in a desperate need of reinventing itself. The company's car sales last year were 3 times lower than in 2015 - that’s only six years so the decline is acute. While Chrysler stuck to its Pacifica and 300 models, other brands not only expanded their own model ranges but updated them at the same time.

Chrysler has been painfully slow with adapting to the EV shift with only the Pacifica offering a PHEV option with a pitiful 32 miles of electric range. The 300 on the other hand doesn’t even venture into the electric universe, the car is 11 years old in its current guise and it only had a minor facelift in 2015. If Chrysler carries on with its current portfolio it’ll become extinct in the next couple of years.

Luckily for Chrysler it become a part of Stellantis after the PSA Group merged with FCA. That means miles of shelves full of available parts from other brands, it means access to funds and development resources that the company desperately needs to survive.

The results are pretty much immediate - Chrysler already showed the upcoming Airflow in its near-production form with some amazing numbers - 400 miles of electric range, all-wheel drive with 300kW twin-motor setup and Level 3 autonomous driving.

Now we are being told, the 300 will be reborn as well as an all-electric sedan ready for the future. The first number is huge - expected range of 800km (497 miles). The huge range will be enabled by a battery capacity of around 108kWh. The car will be twinned with a model from Dodge and the two will go on sale in 2024 beginning with Dodge, the Chrysler will follow in 2026.

Both cars will run 800V battery architecture and will have electric motors from 150kW to 330kW. The cars will be based on Stellantis STLA Large architecture which will allow pairing of two motors for AWD setup - that means a possibility of a 660kW (885 hp) all-wheel drive 300 capable of 0 to 100kph sprint in 2 seconds. That’s a Tesla S Plaid territory but in a much larger sedan, clearly Chrysler wants to keep the SRT crown intact.

The STLA Large platform is intended for vehicles larger than 4,275mm which suits it perfectly for the 300 replacement. According to the CEO of Chrysler, Christine Feuell, the new 300 will be “redefined and it will be a vast departure from what’s in market today”.

The preview of the Chrysler 300 redesign was shown during a press event last month with the silhouettes clearly painting a much rounder car than the current model. It appeared more like a 5-door liftback than a sedan, it had full-width LED tail lights and a very attractive and dynamic rising window line.

2026 is the latest we can expect the all-electric 300, with Stellantis planning to introduce 8 new EVs in the next 3 to 5 years. Access to Stellantis resources is clearly helping Chrysler a lot and there are some interesting cars on the horizon.

No, not "Or not". It's general knowledge that getting 4 mile per kWh efficiency or better in a vehicle of this size is practically impossible unless you're going at obnoxiously slow speeds. The i4 M50 has a 83.9kWh battery. ...
