Stellantis – formed in 2021 from the backbones of Italian-American carmaker Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and France's PSA Group – is home to numerous brands. Fourteen of them, to be more precise.
Just like in any (dysfunctional) human family, some of the 'kids' are treated unequally – Alfa Romeo has recently been getting a lot of love. In contrast, America's Chrysler has become the next Lancia with just one model in the lineup. That's a shame, of course, not just due to the fact that Chrysler is an integral part of FCA but also because of its rich heritage.
However, today, it only has the Pacifica and Pacifica Hybrid on sale – and they're not even great minivans to begin with. Dodge, for example, is faring a little bit better than its former master as they still have the little Hornet on sale, some inventory of the L-bodied 2023 Challenger coupe and Charger sedan, or the last V8-powered Durango crossover SUVs.
Plus, they are getting the all-new SLTA Large-based 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona with all-electric powertrains of up to 670 horsepower, and from early next year, the 2025 Charger Sixpack will arrive both as a fastback coupe and four-door sedan with the fresh 3.0-liter twin-turbo Hurricane inline-six mills packing 420 hp or 550 hp to spite the 2025 Ford Mustang Dark Horse, among others. So, what's the relation between Dodge and Chrysler?
Well, according to the rumor mill, the same STLA Large platform will be used by Chrysler to underpin new models – and before Dodge unveiled the new Charger in both classic two-door fastback coupe format and with a modern four-door sedan body style, everyone assumed that Chrysler would have a saloon model with Hurricane and EV options under the hood.
No worries, the imaginative realm of digital car content creators hasn't yet abandoned the idea. For example, Nihar Mazumdar, a digital artist, and entrepreneur from San Antonio, Texas, has decided to continue his Dodge design projects with a reborn Chrysler inspired by the latest Charger. The pixel master has been passionate about the two American brands with ideas for a 2025 Dodge Conquest off-road liftback, Dodge Omni subcompact BEV, Dodge Intrepid PHEV, 2026 Dodge Neon SRT-4 hot hatchback, and the Durango or Journey usual CGI suspects.
Alas, he also likes to derive some new Chryslers from what Stellantis has planned for the other brands, including a 2025 Chrysler Concorde EV based on the Citroen C5 X, a 2025 Chrysler Imperial EV Liftback or Wagon, plus a revived New Yorker all-electric sedan. Initially, the CGI expert worked to unofficially bring back the full- and mid-size nameplate (which originally lived from 1940 until 1996) based on the Dodge Charger's Daytona SRT concept car.
But now that the actual 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona EV is official alongside the ICE-powered Sixpack model, he updated the hypothetical, independently-designed 2026 Chrysler New Yorker project according to the latest DNA. The result is simple – a rebadged Dodge Charger sedan featuring a slightly different front and rear, especially the badges and light clusters. Curiously, the author doesn't envision this reborn New Yorker with full electric power. Instead, he would use the STLA Large platform to give it a plug-in hybrid powertrain alongside the 3.0-liter Hurricane with 420 or 550 hp (standard or high output). What do you think of this design?
