Edmunds Rating

There are two main reasons to choose the Chrysler Pacifica over another minivan. One is the added convenience and versatility of its Stow 'n Go seating, which allows you to fold the second-row seats into the floor in mere seconds. The second reason is the availability of all-wheel drive. Otherwise, this minivan comes up a little short on fuel economy, performance and comfort.

Pros

Easy to transform from people hauler to cargo transport
Upscale-looking interior
Available all-wheel drive
Excellent all-around visibility

Cons

Second-row seats aren't as roomy or as comfortable as rivals'
Nine-speed automatic transmission occasionally has clunky or slow shifts
Lags behind the class in fuel efficiency
Build quality is a mixed bag

What's new

No major changes expected for the 2023 Pacifica
Part of the first Pacifica generation introduced for 2017

If you're on the hunt for a new minivan, few available choices make it easier to pick one. The 2023 Chrysler Pacifica is one of only four minivans available, and there are several reasons you might decide it is perfect for you.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2023 Chrysler Pacifica Touring L 4dr Minivan (3.6L 6cyl 9A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.35 per gallon for regular unleaded in Virginia.}

First, the Pacifica offers an available all-wheel-drive system for improved traction in northern climates. Second, a class-exclusive plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) version is available, supplying about 32 miles of electric driving range before a gas-fueled V6 fires up to give you 30 mpg in combined driving. Third, though they're unavailable on the Pacifica Hybrid, the Stow 'n Go seats make it easy to convert this minivan from a seven-passenger shuttle into a load hauler with up to 140.5 cubic feet of cargo space in a matter of minutes. Fourth, every Pacifica is packed with plenty of technology, from cloud-connected infotainment and an Amazon Fire TV rear-seat entertainment system to popular driver assist and collision avoidance systems.

After a thorough refresh for the 2021 model year and several more updates for 2022, the 2023 Pacifica is unlikely to receive any major modifications. Furthermore, with Chrysler's plan to switch to electrified vehicles, starting soon with a production version of the automaker's Airflow concept vehicle, the next-generation Pacifica is likely to arrive in the middle of this decade with an electric powertrain, ready to take on the Volkswagen ID. Buzz. Let's hope Chrysler doesn't try to go retro with it, though, and leaves the fake wood siding and Town & Country nameplate in the dustbin of history.

In the meantime, if you need a new minivan now and not in a few years, be sure to consult our Expert Rating to see what we think of the current-generation Pacifica and Pacifica Hybrid models. And if this Chrysler isn't the right choice for you, alternatives include our perennial favorite, the Honda Odyssey, the stylish Kia Carnival and the efficient hybrid-only Toyota Sienna, which also offers available AWD.

What's it like to live with?

When Chrysler introduced the Pacifica for the 2017 model year, Edmunds bought one to add to our long-term testing fleet. Not only did we put more than 20,000 miles on our Pacifica during the test, but we kept it around to serve our video crew. Are the observations about our 2017 Chrysler Pacifica long-term test vehicle still valid? Yes, because while the Pacifica did get several midlife updates for the 2021 model year, it is largely the same as our long-term test vehicle. Therefore, many of our observations apply to the current model.

Performance

7.0/10

How does the Pacifica drive? The Pacifica's performance is merely adequate. Its V6 engine isn't going to push your head back, but it's not going to let you down. Acceleration is average for the class, as is its braking performance. This minivan operates at an even keel most of the time. The steering and handling are also unremarkable. Both the Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey offer a better experience if you're the one behind the wheel.

The nine-speed automatic transmission works as expected in most situations. We found it sometimes got confused when we were going up or down steep hills, choosing a gear higher or lower than the situation required. It kept the driver a bit busier than we'd prefer.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the Pacifica? The front seat padding is firm, but ultimately we found the seats to be comfortable for long drives. The available heating and cooling for the front seats work great too. The second-row Stow 'n Go seats are less comfortable than those in other minivans, however. They also offer less adjustment, which means a little less legroom for the second row too. Third-row comfort is acceptable.

The ride is compliant and generally smooth across varying road surfaces. There is body lean when the road starts to twist, but in this respect the Pacifica is pretty comparable to other modern minivans. The V6 engine noise isn't off-putting like the Pacifica Hybrid's powertrain since it uses a more traditional automatic instead of the Hybrid's continuously variable automatic transmission. But the nine-speed transmission's tendency to shift down extra gears can make the engine noise chime in unexpectedly at times.

Build & price

Interior

8.5/10

How’s the interior? The controls in the Pacifica are easy to use. The knobs for the radio and climate control are well placed and within easy reach of the driver. Chrysler's additional radio volume and tuning controls on the back of the steering wheel still make a lot of sense to us too.

It's easy to step in and out of the Pacifica thanks to low doorsills, large door openings, tall roofline and well-positioned seats. There's a lot of adjustable range from the driver's seat and steering wheel. Legroom is abundant up front, and large windows all-around provide great visibility and limit blind spots. The optional 360-degree camera system makes maneuvering in tight spots even easier.

The Stow 'n Go second-row captain's chairs are limited in adjustability, so there's slightly less potential legroom than in some other minivans. The third row is snug but still suitable for adults on shorter drives.

Technology

8.5/10

How’s the tech? The Pacifica's Uconnect infotainment system excels in its ease of use, features and smartphone integration. It's highlighted by a large touchscreen with crisp graphics and prompt responses to touch and voice inputs. It offers Bluetooth and wireless connectivity for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration systems. Multiple USB ports are also on hand for your devices. Available mobile web connections include Alexa pairing and the Uconnect app that allows you to control some van functions via your phone. An optional seatback video system can stream media to the van as well.

Advanced driver aids are plentiful and standard, including forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise (it will stop and go without additional driver input), and lane keeping, to name a few. The optional 360-degree camera is a worthy add-on.

Storage

9.0/10

How’s the storage? Minivans are about utility and the efficient use of space. The Pacifica, like its peers, has a deep well for storage behind the third-row seat. The manual-folding operation for the third-row seating isn't difficult, and Chrysler offers a power-folding option as well.

Second-row versatility is where the Pacifica stands out. You can fold the clever Stow 'n Go seats into the floor with minimal effort. When deployed, you can also use their underfloor storage spots for additional cargo storage. There are also pockets, cupholders and cubbies for every cherished rock, bottlecap and coin your kids find on the ground.

Speaking of junior humans, car seat accommodation is great. The LATCH anchors are easily accessed. Second-row seats are less adjustable than in the Pacifica Hybrid but still allow decent space for rear-facing child seats and parent access. And buckles are kid-friendly for those in boosters.

The Pacifica, when properly equipped, offers a 3,600-pound maximum tow capacity. That's similar to other minivans on the market.

Fuel Economy

7.0/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates the Pacifica with all-wheel drive gets 20 mpg combined (17 city/25 highway). That's one of the lowest figures in the class. We observed 23 mpg on our 115-mile evaluation route, which is heavy on highway driving — this tells us the EPA estimates should be accurate. However, after 500 miles of mixed driving, we averaged a less impressive 18 mpg. Fuel economy is rated slightly better for front-wheel-drive Pacifica models at 22 mpg combined (19 city/28 highway).

Value

7.5/10

Is the Pacifica a good value? The Pacifica line stretches from the Touring to the top-line Pinnacle. Our test van was a Limited with all-wheel drive, the S Appearance package and other options totaling around $55,000. For the price, we were a little let down. Interior soft-touch surfaces are mixed with hard plastics that bring down the otherwise upscale vibe. Seat and armrest firmness further detracts from what's one of the more visually attractive interiors available in a minivan these days.

Overall fit and finish isn't especially impressive, and a couple of our Pacifica test vans suffered from similar electronic gremlins. The Chrysler warranty package is about average for the class, including five years of roadside assistance.

Wildcard

7.0/10

Minivans aren't really designed with fun and excitement in mind. They are more about function. If you want the fun, you'll need to pack it along. There is certainly plenty of space for it.

Where the Pacifica stands out is with its Stow 'n Go seats. Being able to flip those second-row chairs into the floor in seconds is a utilitarian masterstroke. If that sort of quick transformation is a feature you'd use often, this may be the van for you.

Which Pacifica does Edmunds recommend?

Chrysler hasn't released official information on the 2023 Pacifica as of this writing. We'll update our recommendation if anything changes, but based on last year's Pacifica, we think the Touring L supplies the best blend of standard features and value for the money.

Chrysler Pacifica models

[Editor's note: The following unofficial information is based on last year's Pacifica and Pacifica Hybrid. We expect the 2023 models will have a similar lineup and we'll update this section once we have complete information.] The Chrysler Pacifica is available in four trim levels: Touring, Touring L, Limited and Pinnacle. A 3.6-liter V6 (287 horsepower, 262 lb-ft) engine is standard on the Pacifica, and it powers the minivan's front wheels through a nine-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is optional on all trims.

The Touring is unavailable for the Pacifica Hybrid, making the Touring L trim the entry point. The Pacifica Hybrid uses a modified version of that V6 plus an electric motor, a rechargeable 16-kWh battery, and a continuously variable transmission to create a PHEV powertrain. Pacifica Hybrids make 260 horsepower, supply an estimated 32 miles of electric driving range, and average 30 mpg in combined driving when the V6 kicks in and the minivan operates like a traditional hybrid vehicle. However, you cannot get AWD on the Pacifica Hybrid.

Highlights from the standard equipment lists include:

2/5 stars, Unreliable for a brand new car

PacificaPLUGIN, 05/27/2021

Hybrid Touring 4dr Minivan (3.6L 6cyl gas/electric hybrid EVT)

The car works great when running. Unfortunately it was built at the height of the pandemic and is riddled with quality control problems. The company has not been forthright about software problems that make the car inoperable. My 2021 model required major repairs after only 800 miles of driving.

I have a 2021 Pacifica hybrid which is less than 30 days old and has 206 miles but makes chirping noise when I drive over 30 mph. It's very annoying, and the dealership admits the noise by stating, "verified that there is a small noise between 30 MPH and 60 MPH that is constant.", but the Chrysler (FCA) field technician denies abnormality by the statement below; "FTA test drove and …

We love our Pacifica Hybird except there have been times when vehicle is in run does not move. Have to shut off and restart which has worked so far. Belive it might be related to transmission dial. Vehicle does not immediately respond to dial change. Long hesitation.

The Best Hybrid & Plug-in Hybrids On Sale Today | 2022-2023 Hybrid Cars & SUVs

LAUREN MCCAY: Are you the type that can never quite figure out what you want to eat for dinner? Pizza or Chinese? Well, if you live in California where fusion is king, you get the best of both worlds. That's what it's like driving a hybrid or plug-in hybrid car. You get a battery, electric motor, a gasoline tank, and an internal combustion engine all in. one. And in this video, I'm bringing you the best of the best of these car worlds with the top hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles of 2022 and 2023 that we've tested to date. All right. Before you do anything else, make sure you subscribe to our channel. And be sure to visit edmunds.com for your next car. I got to first address an elephant in the room. Car makers tend to be a little in the dark about the confusion many consumers have on what exactly hybrid and plug-in hybrid cars are and can do. So here's the skinny. Electric vehicles, or EVs, are completely and fully battery-powered cars. So you definitely need one of these. A plug-in hybrid is like a junior EV. It's initially powered by an electric motor with a medium-sized battery you can charge. Don't have a plug? No sweat. When it runs out of juice or needs an extra kick, it has a gas tank and engine to keep it running like a regular car. Now, hybrids, they're the old geezers of the group-- been around the longest. A hybrid is 100% gas-fueled but also has a small electric motor and battery to assist the gas engine in most situations. Bottom line, you're going to need gas for it. The reason these cars are growing in popularity is because they typically provide better fuel economy compared to gas-only models. And just about everyone loves to save a little extra cash. Am I right? Now that you've gotten the lowdown, let's see which cars are topping our rankings list. First, we're sifting through our hybrid sedans. And topping our list for the best is the 2022 Honda Accord. The long-running highly regarded Accord is Honda's largest sedan-- basically, the marathon runner in the group. The EPA estimated the combined fuel economy to be 47 MPG. But when we tested it, we found it to be only 38. We also noticed this car takes a bit of a ding on the freeway, relying mostly on the gas engine. So once you hit about 65, you're going to likely see a decline. But unlike some hybrids, this battery pack does not affect cargo space because it's tucked underneath the rear seats. The price difference between the hybrid and the regular Accord is relatively small. But the hybrid powertrain makes more power and gets better mileage. So this one feels like a no-brainer for us. Now, I have to mention, Honda is coming out with a new 2023 version of this Accord soon. We haven't seen it yet, but we've seen what they've done with their latest Civic and CR-V. So knowing Honda usually shares powertrains and tech between its different models and similar size classes, we can already predict what this new Accord will be like. In the hybrid SUV department, our top-tier Titan-- all right, I just wanted to add that extra T in there-- is the fully redesigned 2022 Hyundai Tucson. Check out this before and after. Now, that's a makeover. OK? It's a small SUV that's historically played things safe and stuck to conservative styling, competing against the likes of the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. But Hyundai has kissed conventional wisdom goodbye. I was impressed before, but now, this hybrid SUV has the full package-- the looks, the warranty, the tech, strong acceleration, and the fuel economy, which in our testing, fell just three points below the EPA's estimate of 37 MPG. The Tucson Hybrid delivers more than you'd expect for its price and is just a step or two above its competitors, ranging anywhere from $28,000 to $38,000. It's the top model of what a hybrid SUV should be. Stepping off the runway, moving on, and-- look, don't at me for this-- the 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. Yes, our top plug-in hybrid is a minivan. But there's nothing mini about these 32 miles of all electric range, punchy acceleration, and upscale interior. We like it because it comes packed with all the latest technology, has the usual minivan traits, including an abundance of passenger and cargo space. So come on in, soccer team. I mean, I won't even know you're there with the entertainment system cranked in the backseat. The fuel savings plus the available tax credits make the Pacifica Hybrid potentially the best value in its class. But OK, if you're not a minivan person our number-two spot is the Toyota RAV4 Prime. It has great power, great electric range, and it's a RAV4, so you know what to expect. All right. So you want a hybrid car, but something like a Honda Accord doesn't speak to your fashion sensibilities. In comes the Lexus ES 300h. This luxury sedan is comfortable, quiet, and offers seriously impressive fuel economy. The EPA estimates the 300h gets 44 MPG combined. But we actually got a bit more juice out of it and got 46, which is excellent for any sedan, let alone a luxury ride. Though it has lackluster acceleration, the truth is Lexus dominates our luxury hybrid category because they've expertly combined style and comfort with a hybrid powertrain. And the 300h is overall a pretty appealing sedan. Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz may have created and mastered the mid-sized luxury sedan, but that hasn't discouraged the others. The Volvo S90 Recharge T8 is a distinctly different flavor of European sedans-- definitely not vanilla. That's why it's made our list for the best luxury plug-in hybrid car. Like so many Volvos before it, the S90 Recharge is wildly understated. It's powerful and fuel efficient. It's also spacious and comfortable with a pretty handsome interior. The picture looks even better when you consider the long list of standard features and driver aids. Alas, it's yet another Volvo that's finishing out our list today, which clearly shows Volvo is stepping up their game. And with this XC60-- that is a tongue twister, OK-- they are really hitting the spot with their tech and EV range. It's topping our list as the best luxury plug-in hybrid SUV. Since the XC60 is a Volvo, safety plays a big part. Get all the expected advanced safety features as standard equipment. And it's even been named a Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. So you get all of that, plus great fuel economy. Running in pure electric mode to start, we got 38 miles out of it, outdoing the EPA'S projection of 36 miles. [MUSIC PLAYING] Well, there you have it, our best of the best in the hybrid and plug-in hybrid world, which basically, is a way for you to just slightly dip your toe into the EV Olympic-sized pool that our society is moving towards without fully diving in headfirst. So we've given you our favorites. Now, go. Try them out. Take them for a spin-- a smidge of a longer spin given their grade on miles. Did you know we have a top 10 for every category? So check out edmunds.com no matter what kind of car, truck, or SUV you're searching for. [MUSIC PLAYING]

Chrysler Pacifica vs. the competition

2023 Chrysler Pacifica

2023 Honda Odyssey

Chrysler Pacifica vs. Honda Odyssey

The Honda Odyssey is a quick, comfortable and exceptionally useful minivan equipped with second-row seats that you can configure in a variety of ways. Plus, the Odyssey's infotainment and driver assist technologies are up-to-date, and it carries as many as eight passengers to the Pacifica's seven. However, the Honda doesn't offer a hybrid or plug-in hybrid powertrain option or all-wheel drive, and the Chrysler's rear-seat entertainment system puts the one in the Odyssey to shame. Furthermore, the Honda's second-row seats are quite heavy and difficult to remove and reinstall. For more information, read Edmunds' long-term road test of the Honda Odyssey.

Compare Chrysler Pacifica & Honda Odyssey features

Chrysler Pacifica vs. Kia Carnival

The Kia Carnival brings an undeniable sense of style to the minivan segment. It debuted last year as a replacement for the Sedona, and besides significant upgrades in design, quality and technology, it offers a set of spectacularly comfortable second-row seats in the top trim level. Kia does not offer a hybrid or plug-in hybrid powertrain in the Carnival, and its second-row seats require removal just like those in the Honda Odyssey. However, the eight-passenger Carnival offers a superior warranty, bringing added peace of mind.

Compare Chrysler Pacifica & Kia Carnival features

Chrysler Pacifica vs. Toyota Sienna

Toyota redesigned the Sienna for the 2021 model year, and now it comes only with a hybrid powertrain and front- or all-wheel drive. It isn't very powerful, but there's no arguing about its effortlessly high fuel economy. Oddly, you cannot easily remove the second-row seats from the Sienna, but considering the available long-slide captain's chairs with extending legrests, you might not want to. The main downside to choosing the Sienna, aside from sluggish acceleration, is its uncompetitive maximum cargo volume measurement of 101 cubic feet. Check out our long-term review of the latest Sienna to learn more about it.

Should I lease or buy a 2023 Chrysler Pacifica?

Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
