This is a spaceship. I bought the van in 2017 and I've been loving it since. I got free money from my Audi Q7 dieselgate, so this car is essentially free. Thanks Audi for letting me drive your car and helping me buy a new one. Edmunds is right, go for the expensive Limited Hybrid model with all the trimmings because you get to use them. I've used the adaptive cruise control on drives from LA to Vegas and San Francisco. The auto park feature is handy for street or mall slot parking. Have groceries and baby in each hand, no problem, wave your foot and sliding door opens. There's a backup camera, side camera, and front camera so it's great when trying to put your car in the garage or tight spots. The Uconnect system with 2 view screens in the back are great for kids. The GPS system has a gas finder which shows you where has cheapest reported gas and you can select it as a destination. Voice input is nice too, just say "find nearest Costco" and a list pops up. Fuel economy has been great. Electric only mode, I've gotten 35 miles from full charge to zero. eMPG says 54mpg but that's just estimate I guess. On my longest trip over 1000 miles from LA to Portland, I've averaged about 33mpg and this is for a 4500lb minivan. I've gone at most over a month without getting gas, but the engine will cycle and say "fuel and oil refresh". You can set the displays to your liking and I customized mine so it's like a video game. My driving habits are altered and I drive like 80 year old grandma but I don't care, my goal is to keep my kids safe and squeeze as much mileage as I can out of the battery. 30-35 miles battery capacity, I can usually drop of the kids at school, run most of my errands and make it home without using any gas. I have a level 2 charger from Chargepoint at home and I can fill it back up in 2 hrs. I had top of line Audi Q7 prestige model before and this minivan beats it hands down. I drove family and friends to airport seating 7 and all their luggage. I tried that once in the Q7 and it was a painful experience. Nothing fits after you raise the rear seats for 7 passenger in the SUV. I have 2 kids and putting in a double stroller is a pain in the Q7. You lose all trunk space. Demographics wise, I'm male, 43, college educated, west coaster raised in Texas. Yes, my friend made fun of me when I got the minivan and said I was "gay", "middle aged", "losing my youth", "not cool anymore", blah blah blah. I got over that BS. Yeah, try to fit 2 baby car seats into your Mercedes CLS and then go to Costco with stroller and try to buy a stack of toilet paper, diapers, formula, and paper towels and fit that into the trunk. The Pacifica is a good van to look at, it's real pretty in dark blue with light on at night, real sharp. Drives like a car, not like a truck. Honestly, you can rent one from Enterprise and try it for a week and you'll see it's really one of the best minivans out there.

I loved this car, until it exploded at 6AM

We've had a Pacifica Limited PHEV from August 2018 until June 2019. We were extremely happy with it -- borderline evangelistic, in fact-- until the morning of June 15, 2019. At 7 am, we heard a loud explosion that shook the house and ran downstairs to discover the car burning in our driveway. We called the fire department, and they were there in 5-6 minutes, but in that time the vehicle gas tank ruptured was the car was completely engulfed in flames 20 feet into the air. The vehicle had been plugged into a standard 110V outlet overnight (actually, around 16 hours) using the manufacturer's provided charging cable. We hadn't driven it since the afternoon before. So it was fully charged at the time, and the engine was completely cool. It had less than 10000 miles on it. A neighbor's web cam caught the explosion. The vehicle was emitting a large amount of smoke for about 15 minutes prior to the explosion. The detonation occurred inside the main cabin; it was powerful enough to send glass 30 meters either direction, and to bulge the roof and doors outwards. Thankfully, no one was nearby to get hurt by the flying glass and everyone got out of the house; the only serious damage was to the vehicle, the driveway, and the nearby plants. If it had been in the garage, it would've been a different story (we would've lost the house for sure). I called FCA immediately, and placed several follow up calls over the months, but have never heard back from them, despite multiple promises of a callback. I have not heard of a root cause analysis, and they showed little interest in seeing the car after the fire. This isn't the first battery fire while plugged in. Google "A second Pacifica PHEV fire" to see pictures of mine, and "Pacifica Hybrid burnt to the ground" to read about a nearly identical fire in Canada. I can only advise all owners to install a smoke alarm in their garage if they park it there, and to install a self activating fire extinguisher in their vehicle.

Amazing van for long trips and great for running around town. Have over 10,500 miles total now and of that about half of the miles of electric ONLY! Life of Auto that is 70MPG also be aware of many places with FREE Level-2 chargers, go shopping and come back to full charge. Last time I bought gas was mid August after first oil change on trip home from Orlando and have driven almost 2310 miles since oil change and car says my range remaining is still over 567 miles. On a long trip to Disney we hit an amazing over 843 miles on less than 15.5 gallons of gas, using charge stations in Orlando. That's an amazing over 54+ Electric/Hybrid driving, and with the Tax Credit of up to $7500 depending on tax status brought our van well below non-hybrid limited, and Honda & Toyota models. I just love our Level-2 home charger ability to fully charge in 2 hours and don't even think about going to Gas Stations or watch gas prices. With around town we have seen range of 30-40 miles depending on climate control settings and driving style and terrain. Here is the simple math from NYTimes van such as Honda Odyssey around town gets 20MPG city based on average US gal of $2.96 gal it means it cost 15 cents a mile in town so if you drive poorly and only manage 30 miles in EV in the Pacifica to compare that would be $4.50 in gas at 20mpg, but only costs us at 13 cents a KW only about $1.70 to recharge, a savings of $2.80 a trip and when you use FREE Chargers or Solar power even more. If you drove small trips everyday you could save over $1,000 a year in fuel savings, less engine maintenance since engine does start. Save time at gas stations, and learn to drive well and save even more. Imagine if you utilized free chargers everyday and you seldom used the 16.5 gallon fuel system. You could save over $1,600 a year and over 5 years save over $8,000. www.fueleconomy.gov and customize how you could drive EV or Plug-in Hybrid and save BIG! We are way ahead of the annual savings since with apps like plug share have driven ranges of over 100+ mile trips on no gas, with just stops to eat while charging at free charging locations. Now getting eMPG over 88 do 95% of driving on electric around town. Usually can get between 30 to 40 miles on a charge depending on AC or Heat setting, and how you drive my record is still 44 miles on a charge.

Love my Pacifica Hybrid Limited!

One year in with 12k miles on the odometer I love my 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Limited. My work site is 15 miles from home so I use electric for about 90% of my around town driving. I plug in each night to my regular household outlet and let it charge overnight. I once went 3 months between gasoline fill-ups. The only time I add gasoline is for road trips and this van is a true road trip hero. So comfortable on the highway, the two video screens are a massive hit with kids and with adult passengers. Acceleration and hybrid gas mileage are great for such a big vehicle. I had one recall repair in year one with no other issues. UConnect is fantastic. The turning radius is really wide forcing lots of 3 point turns compared to my old Toyota Sienna and that is about the only nock on this van.

Looking for great gas mileage, lots of space to haul people or things, fantastic range 566 miles on electric/gasoline, drives like a sedan, all the options anyone could ask for, at a cost that is so affordable, with IRS $7,500 tax credit, some states offer clean air cash for buying a hybrid, you have to pity the fool looking for a hybrid and passing the Chrysler Pacifica Limited Hybrid up. It is a deal you should not refuse if offered. I bought two a 2018 and a 2019, all electrics have limits this hybrid has none of them it offers safety and savings, why look elsewhere, get to your nearest Chrysler dealership to test drive and buy, I did! It is June 2023 and I am still in love with my PHEV Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid as I have all the MPG I could hope for, all the space and seats I could ever need, and all the accessories you could want, all others were near to perfect, this Pacifica is perfect! UPDATE: I have enjoyed spending less than $40.00 dollars a YEAR for fuel, and had installed a level 2 charger in my garage which I use daily as most of my trips are under 30 miles a day as I had also taken trips to Tulsa, OK on one tank of fuel for the 500 mile trip and one tank of fuel to get back to Houston, TX, it is a 7 gallon tank that takes regular gas. This Mini Van has all the options you could want from park assist to GPS and DVD player for anyone in the middle seats and there is a third row seating to hold up to 7 passengers in comfort, with Sun/Moon roofs to enjoy looking up for the passengers during a long ride. Other than a few recalls that were quickly done at the dealership I have had no problems over the years of ownership to speak of, plus the fact I had a federal tax credit of $7,500 dollars as well as a state rebate of $2,500 dollars for buying a Hybrid for the total amount of $10,000 dollars when I bought it. It is a Mini Van with a Maximum value to buy, and own, with space to haul anything or people in comfort, and safety over many miles on many roads. 2024 update the PHEV aged well and has not cost very much to use daily, as it is large enough to haul both people and any items I need to I rate it 5 stars for my needs,
