This midsize SUV has the potential to bring some of the magic back to a brand famous for designing stunning concept cars.Could the 2028 Airflow be the crossover that's so alluring you'd consider a Chrysler again over a Jeep Grand Cherokee or Subaru Outback?AdvertisementAdvertisementThe Chrysler Airflow concept is shown aboveWhat's NewEverything is new on the 2028 Chrysler Airflow, which rides on a platform shared with another new model called the 2028 Dodge GLH. Powertrain options are said to span gas to EV, though we suspect a strong focus on gas and non-PHEV hybrid models.A five-passenger layout is likely, leaving the 3-row segment to the still-running Pacifica minivan.Airflow PricingThe 2028 Chrysler Airflow's MSRP will be around $40,000 to start. If that happens, the 2028 Airflow would start right in the middle of the midsize SUV segment. The popular, boxy Subaru Outback starts a little lower, but the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Toyota Crown Signia have higher base prices.AdvertisementAdvertisementMidsize two-row SUVs are often just as much about how the crossover's presence and design makes you feel as much as interior space, which is why we don't expect top-of-class practicality from this Chrysler. Of course, we'll drive and test the new 2028 Airflow to be sure.Top-Ranked Competitors:Subaru OutbackJeep Grand CherokeeToyota Crown Signia (another design-first, practicality-second midsizer)Chrysler Has History HereIn the early 2000s, Chrysler built the ahead-of-its-time Pacifica. No, not the minivan it makes today, but a five-passenger crossover that aimed for a premium look and fully on-road appeal not unlike the Lexus RX.The Pacifica wasn’t a hit, though, and we weren’t initially sure what to make of it. We praised its smooth ride quality, excellent ergonomics, and comfortable seating, but didn’t feel it was as polished as its rivals.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe industry has changed a lot since then, so we’re eager to see what Chrysler’s take is on the midsize crossover with the 2028 Airflow.
