Chrysler Halts Development of Electric Crossover

Chrysler has officially paused the development of its much-anticipated electric crossover, code-named C6X (CA), according to an internal email obtained by Mopar Insiders. The email instructed suppliers to halt all spending related to the program, which was initially expected to launch in 2025 but later pushed to 2026. Chrysler CEO Christine Feuell emphasized that the program is not canceled but is under review as the company assesses market conditions and consumer needs. This decision follows a series of setbacks, including the shelving of the earlier Airflow concept, which was intended to signal Chrysler's transition to EVs. Design chief Ralph Gilles noted that the direction of the crossover has changed significantly, aiming for a new identity distinct from previous concepts. Despite these challenges, Chrysler remains optimistic about its future, with plans for a refreshed Pacifica and additional new models on the horizon.
