The Chrysler Pacifica: Mastering the Minivan

Ever since its triumphant return to American roadways in 2017, the Pacifica has garnered praise for its high-quality interior and impressive list of features. User-friendly technology, intuitive infotainment system, and consideration for safety all make it an ideal family vehicle.

It’s only natural that such a well-received minivan would originate from the Chrysler assembly line. Chrysler was among the very first manufacturers to release a minivan, and they’ve dedicated extensive research and development into honing their craft. The Pacifica’s appealing array of high-quality features is complimented by a low price and excellent fuel economy, adding to the minivan’s stellar value.

What’s New With the 2021 Pacifica?

Chrysler has updated the Pacifica inside and out for 2021. Its smooth exterior has received fresh styling on the wheels, headlights, and grille with nods to modern SUV design. On the inside, a 10.1-inch touchscreen comes standard for easy access to the handy Uconnect infotainment system. This interface can be equipped with popular technology like smartphone connectivity as well as Amazon Alexa. The minivan can now be equipped with all-wheel drive as well. A 287-horsepower V6 engine comes standard, and when the Pacifica is set up for trailering, it can tow up to 3,600 pounds. The base model can seat up to eight people, while seven-seater options with captain’s chairs are also available.

The History of the Chrysler Pacifica

While many vehicles undergo transformations over generations of new releases, the modern Pacifica is essentially an entirely different vehicle than the first Chryslers that bore its name. In 2004, the Pacifica rolled off the line as a crossover, although it was presently built around the same chassis as the maker’s minivans. This incarnation remained on the market until 2008, when Chrysler chose to shift their attention to other vehicles.

The Pacifica found new life in 2017, when Chrysler reimagined it as a minivan with a premium interior and bevy of new technological features. The following year, Chrysler released a hybrid model Pacifica, considered to be the first hybrid-powered minivan to hit the market.
