Adaptive LED headlights and a light-up Chrysler logo are housed above the light bar.
The windshield is bubble-shaped and extends to the hood, improving sight lines.
An air blade dynamic pass-through helps with high-speed stability and aerodynamics.
Butterfly flaps on the roof assist with entry and exit when both front and rear doors are open.

Personalization is a major theme, with features like Prepare Mode and Welcome Entry Mode.
Vehicle semantics create sound, vibrations, and visuals to enhance the driver-vehicle connection.
The HELON concept uses a next-gen 800-volt lithium sulfur EV battery with a 60% reduction in carbon footprint.
Dynamic Wireless Power Transfer is envisioned for recharging the vehicle from the road.
Level 4 autonomous driving is planned, with features like autonomous parking and augmented reality stargazing.
