Fiat-Chrysler Portal Concept Revealed Ahead Of CES 2017 Debut — The People Carrier Of The Future?
The Fiat-Chrysler Portal electric minivan concept has revealed ahead of its debut at the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), the world's seventh largest automaker has revealed the electric Chrysler Portal concept ahead of its debut at the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
The Chrysler Portal is described by the company as a vehicle "created by millennials for millennials" and is a futuristic take on the people carrier of today, the minivan.
The Portal is a radical version of the traditional MPV-style of cars with its sleek LED headlights and tail lights along with a large glass area.
However, the most distinctive design element of the Portal are the double semi-glass doors with LED accents which open up in opposite directions and add a dash of insanity to an already crazy people carrier.
Chrysler calls the interior of the Portal, the 'third space' in a person's life with the other two being home and work.
The
interiors
are
minimal
and
feature
a
long,
slender
LCD
display
that
runs
across
most
of
the
top
of
the
dashboard
along
with
a
large
touchscreen
display
that
sits
in
the
centre
of
the
dash.
FCA
claims
that
all
the
displays
are
fully
configurable
and
can
be
moved
around
at
will.
Also present are six-aircraft style seats that are mounted on rails that allow them to move around and be removed.
The Portal is powered by a lithium-ion battery pack rated at 100 kWh. The battery will allow the Portal a range of 402 kilometres (250 miles) on a single charge.
The battery can recoup up to 241 kilometers with a 20-minute charge using a fast charger.
The Portal also comeswith Level 3 autonomous driving capability and will get the hardware for Level 4 (no human interaction needed) in due time. FCA has not stated if or when the Portal will go into production.
