2024 Chrysler Pacifica Model Review

Chrysler has long been the first name in minivans, and the Pacifica shows how the company holds onto that first-place spot. The Pacifica offers incredible versatility and comfort. In an age when there is a wide variety of three-row SUVs that will seat just as many people, the Pacifica still stands out as the best option for people hauling, thanks to such features as Stow ‘n Go seating and an available built-in vacuum cleaner. With available AWD and the option for a plug-in hybrid drivetrain, the Pacifica also stands out among the other minivans on the market. And long gone are the days when minivans were punishingly sluggish, thanks to 287 standard horsepower 3.6-liter V6 powerplant. With a unique combination of versatility and premium comfort, it’s hard to ignore the Chrysler Pacifica and its extensive list of class-leading advantages. 

The Chrysler Pacifica gives you the absolute maximum interior space in the smallest exterior package possible. Behind the front seats, you’ll find a staggering 140.5 cubic feet of space, that’s only a couple shy of what you’ll find in a Chevrolet Suburban, a vehicle nearly two feet longer than the Pacifica. But smart packaging is a key feature of the Pacifica, with features like Stow ‘n Go second-row seats that fold down into the floor and an available Stow ‘n Vac built-in vacuum cleaner which makes cleaning up easy without taking up any passenger space. It has back seats that actually fit adults and there are 243 different seating configurations. Thanks to available AWD, you can take on the snow with confidence. To top it off, the Pacifica has a towing capacity of 3,600 pounds so you can bring even more of your prized possessions with you.

It is the technology built into the Chrysler Pacifica that really sets it apart as the leader in the minivan segment. It is the only minivan to offer a plug-in hybrid drivetrain or available all-wheel drive, both of which are major advantages. The plug-in hybrid drivetrain will deliver up to 32 miles of all-electric driving while AWD provides better handling in adverse weather conditions. This improved handling is just one of the advanced safety features found on the Pacifica along with standard blind spot monitoring, all-LED external lighting, adaptive cruise control with stop and go (ACC+), and full-speed forward collision warning with active braking. Inside you’ll find features like FamCAM, which allows you to keep an eye on the kids in the back and even comes with a night mode. For the driver, there is standard wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration while backseat passengers can take advantage of the available dual 10-inch touchscreen Uconnect Theater rear seat entertainment system that uses Amazon Fire TV to stream shows and movies.
