Future Rides  

If you’re curious about what to expect in automobiles for the future, check out these concept vehicles that were unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show. While the following models may remain in the dream stage, many of their innovations often filter down into regular production cars. To find out which of their advanced technologies have made their way into our showroom, contact the dealers at Beach Boulevard of Cars in Huntington Beach, California.

Chrysler Halcyon

Luxury has never looked so sleek and sporty as in the all-electric Chrysler Halcyon Concept, which is motivated by an 800-volt lithium-sulfur battery that charges quickly and inductively. Generous use of glass rewards you and your passengers with nearly 360 degrees of barrier-free viewing, while the digital dashboard can be tailored to your exact specs. You can also customize the electric drive modes and ease your time on the highway with Level 3 hands-free driving under specific conditions.

Kia EV9 ADVNTR

Built on the 3-row EV9 EV SUV, the ADVNTR Concept sports unique front and rear fascias, reinforced rocker panels, a 3-inch lift, two off-road light bars, and a rugged wheel and tire combination that easily conquers tough terrain. When you want to go camping, you can add a roof-mounted tent to the custom roof rack, which also supports luggage containers for all your sports gear.

Kia PV5 WKNDR

The KIA PV5 takes its cues from the EV Purpose Beyond Vehicles, which targets delivery and small businesses and encourages flexible configurations, thanks to a modular interior. As dubbed by the manufacturer, this “Swiss Army Knife on wheels” has an off-board, protected storage area that handles gear when the vehicle is stationary, frees up the interior. Solar panels and hydro-turbine wheels recharge the batteries, which can be used for such useful equipment as an onboard compressor that inflates camping mattresses or fills the tires with air.

Subaru Forester Hybrid

Forged specifically for the US market, the 2025Subaru Forester Hybrid relies on the next-generation Subaru series-parallel hybrid system that enhances the 2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER® engine with electric motors charged by a high-capacity lithium-ion battery, producing up to 194 total system horsepower, an increase of 180 horsepower and the standard 2025 Subaru Forester. Welcome standards include Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive to increase range, EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology to boost safety, and a tablet-style 11.6-inch Multimedia Navigation system that wirelessly integrates your compatible smartphone through Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.

Toyota 4Runner TRD Surf

Hit the surf in the SoCal-inspired Toyota 4Runner TRD Surf, an off-road SUV with removable roof panels, a triple-bar roof rack, and a midgate that makes getting to the cargo area easier. This tribute to the classic beach vibe includes Heritage Orange leather seating, a waterproof interior, surfboard storage, and a custom exhaust that produces a satisfying note when you rev up the 278-horsepower 2.4-liter turbo engine. You’ll easily traverse coastal terrain with 317 lb.-ft. of torque, four-wheel drive, and a 2-inch wider track.

Toyota Land Cruiser ROX

The Toyota Land Cruiser ROC (Recreation Open eXperience) is a mid-size trail-riding SUV that embraces the outdoors through an open-air design that includes a retractable soft top, specially fabricated skeleton doors, and a mid-gate for easy cargo access. Based on the Land Cruiser 250 Series platform, this vehicle has a 4-inch lift, custom 18-inch wheels, off-road tires, and an 8-inch wider track to improve all-terrain capabilities. Inside, you’ll find 3D-printed door sills and practical webbing.
