Innovation in both form and function has long been a hallmark of the Chrysler brand. The same is true with the recently released Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. It is regarded as the market’s top minivan for families. It combines unusual and generous storage options under the seats with outstanding fuel efficiency and many standard features.

Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid
Large families have favored the Chrysler Pacifica since its manufacturing in late 2016. The Pacifica, which ranks above the Chrysler Voyager, ticks all the proper minivan boxes. For most families, the Pacifica Hybrid’s base Touring L grade offers the best value because it comes with the most features.

Spacious family van
The Chrysler Pacifica’s spacious interior and high level of comfort have always been one of its outstanding features. It is a superb option for cross-country road journeys because the front and second rows have the best headroom and legroom in their respective classes. The chairs have all the necessary features and are wrapped in fine leather. Other advantages of this minivan are the ideal ergonomics, stow and go seats, and the 32.2 cu ft cargo space.

Impressive fuel efficiency
The Chrysler Pacifica achieves combined gas mileage of 22 MPG, thanks to its 19 city MPG and 28 highway MPG ratings.

Uconnect 5 infotainment
Chrysler has successfully integrated the amazing Uconnect 5 infotainment system as standard equipment with all trims into the Pacifica model. It is one of the most user-friendly and feature-rich infotainment systems available. Some of the other key advantages of this system include high display quality and tidy menu design. Numerous amenities, including Bluetooth, voice recognition, Amazon Alexa integration, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and optional rear-seat entertainment, are included as standard equipment.

5-Star crash safety rating
Driver-assistance systems including adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and lane-departure warning are features that come as basic. Also included are all the fundamental safety features for maximum protection on and off road. The Pacifica holds a 5-star rating in the NHTSA crash test and labeled the Top Safety Pick Plus in the IIHS crash test because of its strong build quality.

Eco-friendly powertrain
The fuel economy of the Pacifica Hybrid, as a result of its half-electric powertrain, is one of its most obvious benefits. A simple trip to the shop or nearby places can be easily accomplished with the vehicle’s 32-mile electric range. The V6 motor in conjunction produces 30 MPG in both the city and highway. Alternatively, drivers can enjoy an estimated 82 MPGe when the electric motor is functioning.

Final thoughts
Overall, the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is a winner. To be highlighted are the well-calibrated suspension and the accurate and moderately communicative steering. This minivan is superior and one of the handiest vehicles ever. Although this minivan’s enormous size and design suggest that it will have unimpressive handling, this isn’t true at all. The passengers will love the comfort it delivers since it makes the journeys feel hassle-free on city streets and freeways. With a standard household plug, the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid’s EV battery needs roughly 14 hours to charge, but only about two hours with level 2 charging. It boasts a 32-mile all-electric range and an 82 combined city/highway MPGe rating.
