Back to the show

There is something about motorshows which draws in large crowds. Unfortunately the advent of Covid19 resulted in all these shows going offline. However, slowly and steadily motorshows are coming back and this time around was the turn of the New York International Auto Show. While many manufacturers came in with brand new vehicles for the show, many still refrained from participating. In the following few pages, we show you the vehicles which made a world debut at the show. This then is a tribute to all who are acting brave and participating in these shows in a safe manner. Let's hope things become better from now on.

CHRYSLER AIRFLOW GRAPHITE

Chrysler unveiled the Airflow Concept originally at the 2022 CES and now the company has showcased another iteration of the same in form of the Chrysler Airflow Graphite concept. The Graphite Concept features a Galaxy Black exterior colour and Cyprus Copper accents highlight the top of the panoramic glass roof as well as select surfaces of the 22in wheels. The interiors on the other hand make use of lighter shades and contrast lighting which in all give it a very sophisticated look.

Just as expected there are literally no buttons to break the fluidity of design within. Each screen within the cabin is a personalized space to access the digital world via connected entertainment, apps and downloads. And each seat also features a built-in camera, enabling occupants to participate in a group video conference call from the Airflow's cabin. The concept features AWD capability and is powered by two 150kW electric drive motors, one in the front and one in the rear. The battery is designed to achieve up to 400 miles (644km) of range on a single charge. The Chrysler Airflow Concept is equipped with Level 3 autonomous driving capabilities and will be upgradable via OTA updates.
