There's a reason the minivan category is still thriving in America: today's families value comfort, convenience, spaciousness, and - above all - safety. No other vehicle category offers a similar option that can compete. Today's minivan manages to deliver all the utility in a package that's still sporty and technologically advanced. Minivans are also more efficient than ever with the new hybrid models being produced. The 2021 Chrysler Pacifica and Pacifica Hybrid wrap comfort, luxury, and performance all into one unbeatable package.
Chrysler's devotion to its lineup of minivans is consistent, maybe more so than any other auto manufacturer, and this commitment to innovation in the category has never been more apparent than with the Pacifica's Hybrid option. While it's the headline, there are plenty of other impressive features to discover across the entire Pacifica lineup. Completely redesigned for 2021, the newest Pacifica is filled-to-the-gills with the equipment buyers demand, like advanced driver-assist safety systems, all-wheel drive, and next-level luxury.
Good looks aren't always associated with the minivan, but this all-new, completely redesigned Pacifica turns that idea on its ear with bold, dynamic exterior styling that includes standard LED headlights, which lend it surprisingly aggressive curb appeal. Seen from the rear, the Pacifica displays a futuristic LED light scheme that defies conventional design. In other words, from the exterior, this Pacifica is anything but conventional.
It doesn't hurt either that the Pacifica wraps the interior cabin in next-level technology. In fact, most of this brand new Pacifica hints at Chrysler's disdain for the traditional - and much-maligned - minivan. The automaker sends a clear message: buy this minivan because you want convenience and utility, and we'll reward you with the best-kept secret in the business. It's cool to own a minivan. Especially this one.
Starting at
The 2021 Chrysler Pacifica has two incredible powertrains for drivers to choose from. The first option is a 3.6L V6 that can produce an astounding 287 horsepower. This engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. One thing that tends to concern minivan drivers is fuel economy, especially with such a powerful engine under the hood. You can rest assured that the Pacifica delivers with an EPA-estimated 19 MPG in the city and 28 MPG on the highway and can go about 475 miles between stops at the gas station.
Boasting the brag-worthy title, "America's Only Plug-In Hybrid Minivan," the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is blazing the trail in a category that needed some refreshing. This design gets you into a family vehicle that's designed to offer the perfect marriage of gas and electric power. A plug-in hybrid combines the best features of both gasoline-powered vehicles and battery-powered vehicles, and is able to run on either energy source depending on your needs. The Hybrid plug-in powertrain offers 30 MPG when driving longer distances and has an all-electric range of up to 32 miles on a single charge, perfect for local errands and carpooling.
All this technology may seem confusing, but it's not, because Chrysler designed the Pacifica's powertrain to automatically select the best power source for the current driving conditions, switching effortlessly between all-gas, all-electric, or hybrid power. Thanks to Chrysler's partnership with Amazon, buyers have access to an affordable home charger that can be installed by any licensed electrician, and Amazon's Happiness Guarantee takes the stress out of the process.
The Pacifica Hybrid includes a 10-year/100,000-mile battery warranty, and with the available 240-volt official Mopar Level II charger (available through Amazon), the battery is fully chargeable in a lightning-fast two hours. Once you're out on the road, the Pacifica Hybrid also utilizes regenerative braking, which uses the energy from braking to recharge the battery while the vehicle is being driven. This allows you to maintain hybrid fuel efficiency even over longer drives.
The 10.1-inch color infotainment touchscreen displays vehicle diagnostics and important information about battery life and contains a smart control hub where battery charging can be scheduled to take advantage of off-peak electricity rates. The system stores data on driving history, including how much electric power is used. It's truly a command center to keep drivers in control of performance and battery life.
If luxury is on the list of must-haves, take a very close look at the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Pinnacle. This is the uppermost trim level in a lineup that strives to oust the luxury SUV as a family's most comfortable people mover. It's a tall order, but Chrysler has more than succeeded with the Pacifica Pinnacle. First, all-wheel drive is standard on the top tier trims, quieting the critics' first default argument that a minivan with four-wheel drive is better.
The Pacifica Pinnacle is loaded - and we mean loaded - with a dizzying array of plush interior refinements. Chrysler deems it "the most luxurious interior in its class," and the Pacifica handily earns that distinction. You can enjoy gorgeous, buttery caramel-colored Nappa leather-trimmed seats framed by quilted leather accenting; Berber carpeting; and a suede headliner that serves as an over-the-top example of Chrysler's attention-to-detail.
Sometimes the definition of luxury extends to less obvious equipment. For busy families, the Pinnacle's available Stow' n Go Seating provides the luxury of time and convenience. Easily fold the second and third-row seats into the floor to transform the Pinnacle into a capable cargo hauler. The accompanying Stow' n Go Storage amplifies convenience with in-floor storage bins that are easy to access. There's even an available built-in vacuum - called the Stow' n Vac - that's powered by a powerful RIGID system. Luxury isn't always obvious.
The days of wrenching a heavy sliding side door open and closed are also over with the Pinnacle's available hands-free doors. Simply wave your foot under the door or the rear liftgate, and it will open automatically. Once everyone is comfortably seated in the spacious, eight-passenger cabin, the available first-in-its-category Tri-Pane Panoramic Sunroof lets the daylight in and adds to the already cavernous interior aesthetic.
Thanks to a massive 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen display - the largest in its category - the Pacifica is primed for connectivity. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility is the gateway to displaying apps for music and podcast streaming, and a standard 4G LTE WiFi Hotspot keeps everyone connected. The touchscreen is even capable of storing up to five user profiles (plus a handy valet mode) and is capable of connecting two phones at once.
Over-the-top entertainment options are plentiful and designed to keep everyone from the driver to the previously-unlucky back row occupants busy while on the go. The top-of-the-line Pacifica Pinnacle comes standard with navigation and a 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system with a subwoofer and a 760-watt amplifier. However, if you choose the hybrid Pacifica Pinnacle, you will be treated to a 20-speaker Harman Kardon audio system. All Pacifica trims can also be equipped with Uconnect Theater, an epic entertainment system that includes dual 10-inch HD touchscreens with a Blu-ray player, wireless headphones, HDMI inputs, and remote controls. Passengers can play each other in built-in games or wirelessly stream content from their smartphone devices.
You can turn your central touchscreen into a hall monitor with the available FamCAM cabin camera system. It displays video of your entire cabin, including the little ones in rear-facing car seats, eliminating the frustration and potentially unsafe practice of constant head-turning and mirror-glancing to keep an eye on your precious cargo. It even offers a split-screen feature to monitor more than one passenger simultaneously.
Opt for the available Ultra Console and add a convenient wireless smartphone charger - and subtract unseemly cords - to the list of interior refinements. The Ultra Console maximizes storage space within and underneath and adds extra USB ports (including a lightning-fast USB-C port that charges four times faster) for charging multiple devices. Add to that a smattering of additional charging ports throughout the cabin, and the Pinnacle keeps everyone charged and connected.
