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.
