Chrysler Future Plans: Arrow, Arrow Cross, and AirFlow to Join Pacifica

The Pacifica finally gets some siblings, offering the brand a new lease on life.

Not dead yet! The Chrysler brand, which has been relegated to a single model: the Pacifica minivan, is getting reinforcements.

There are three new models coming, all below $40,000, including sub-$30,000 entry-level vehicles, Stellantis executives said during presentations at Investor Day in Auburn Hills.

Chrysler is tapping Fiat for two of them: the Arrow and the fastback Arrow Cross. They will be homologated for North America and will be among the seven models coming that start below $40,000. The Arrows will sticker below $30,000 to start.

Also finally coming is the AirFlow midsize crossover, on the new STLA One platform that was designed to reduce cost by 30 percent. It is the sister to the revived Dodge GLH hatch, which is its evil twin. The AirFlow will be offered with a mix of powertrains including a pure EV. It sits lower than most crossovers and sports an elegant look.

The Chrysler Airflow concept

The 2027 Pacifica got a mild refresh, with a new front-end design and wheels, and introduced a new Pacifica LX base model to replace the Voyager at the bottom of the lineup. Chrysler discontinued the Pacifica Hybrid, one of a number of plug-in hybrids the automaker decided to phase out after the 2025 model year. There will be an all-new model by 2030.

Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa, who has been in the job since June 2025, has been a stalwart supporter of the need for the Chrysler brand to continue to survive, even though it’s been whittled down to a single model. He said the brand is profitable now, it just needs to add volume.

Executives have insisted that a lot of work has been done on additional models, but nothing has been shown since a series of takes on the Chrysler AirFlow concept that was first unveiled at the 2022 CES and followed up with updated versions over the years. A production crossover was to be the first of three electric vehicles planned for Chrysler for 2025 to 2028.

The Chrysler brand had only 10 percent of U.S. sales in 2025 and with the loss of the Voyager, total sales in the first quarter of this year were down 28 percent from a year ago. But the Pacifica, now only with a gas engine, has become more popular and its first-quarter sales of almost 22,000 are up 11 percent compared with a year ago.
