2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Review

Brent Romans

Pros

Plug-in hybrid powertrain provides lots of all-electric range and high fuel economy
Available tax credits or incentives can boost the van's value appeal
Upscale look of the interior
Excellent all-around visibility

ConsWhat's new

From nose to tail, the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid has a new look. Up front, the grille is larger and the reshaped LED headlights add more of a boxy SUV-like appearance. Also, the lower air inlets are square and widely spaced so that the whole front end seems broader and more rear-mirror-intimidating. Chrysler also restyled the rear of the van, giving it a full-width taillight that stretches from edge to edge. The 2021 Pacifica may look different, but it retains its useful, family-friendly character.

Among some of the other changes is a new, faster infotainment system (Uconnect 5) housed in a redesigned 10.1-inch screen. It's capable of receiving over-the-air updates and offers wireless functionality for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which means you can integrate your phone's apps into the infotainment system without having to use a USB cord. Chrysler has also added some more advanced driver aids to the Pacifica's standard features list as well as a new range-topping trim level known as Pinnacle.

Combine these new features with the benefits of the unique plug-in hybrid powertrain and the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid ends up being an intriguing pick for a minivan. Check out the categories of our Expert Rating below to get our in-depth analysis and testing of the van's comfort, efficiency and more.

Our verdict	8.2 / 10
The Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid comes packed with all the latest technology and exhibits the usual minivan traits including copious amounts of passenger and cargo space. But its secret weapon is its plug-in hybrid powertrain that provides smooth and punchy acceleration plus an EPA-estimated 32 miles of range without burning a drop of gasoline. Charge up the hybrid batteries often and you may not see the gas station for months. The fuel savings plus the available tax credits make the Pacifica Hybrid potentially the best value in its class.
How does the Pacifica Hybrid drive?	7.5
As a plug-in hybrid, this Pacifica is the only minivan with the ability to run purely on electric propulsion. When in EV mode, instant torque moves the van sharply and smoothly, though a heavy foot can quickly deplete the battery of its potential range. When operating in hybrid mode, running on both gas and electricity, the transmission response can get out of step with your inputs if you ask for a lot at once. It likes moderate acceleration but will oblige if you need a little midrange punch. Ultimately, if you plug in often you'll enjoy it more. Braking is progressive and predictable. The brake quirks we experienced in the Toyota Sienna Hybrid do not apply to this van. It's not as nimble as the Honda Odyssey or the Sienna, and the turning radius feels noticeably larger.
How comfortable is the Pacifica Hybrid?	8.0
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 Hybrid's second-row seats provide superior comfort and legroom compared to the Stow 'n Go seats that come in the standard Pacifica. 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 it's pretty comparable to other modern minivans. The Pacifica Hybrid is pretty quiet, too, as long as you're in EV mode. The V6 engine is surprisingly noisy once it fires up.
How’s the interior?	9.0
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 Hybrid 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 second and third rows are also comfortable and provide adequate legroom. Second-row captain's chairs slide and recline far enough to adjust to the needs of their occupants. Even adults should be able to tolerate the third row for shorter drives.
How’s the tech?	8.5
The Pacifica Hybrid's Uconnect infotainment system excels in ease of use, features and smartphone integration. It's highlighted by a large touchscreen with crisp graphics and prompt touch and voice response. 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.
How’s the storage?	9.0
As 18th-century English poet and minivan connoisseur Alexander Pope once said, "To utility is minivan." Erm, or something like that. The Pacifica PHEV, like its peers, has a deep well for storage behind the third-row seat. The third row manually folds into the floor when not used. The second-row seats slide forward or can be removed completely, requiring external storage, for a max cargo space of 140.5 cubic feet. There are also pockets, cupholders and cubbies for every cherished keepsake your kids find on the ground. Speaking of junior humans, car seat accommodation in the Pacifica Hybrid is great. The LATCH anchors are easily accessed. Sliding second-row chairs allow extra space for rear-facing child seats and parent access. And buckles are kid-friendly for those in boosters.
How economical is the Pacifica Hybrid?	10.0
The EPA estimates the Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid can drive 32 miles using all-electric power. After that, the gas V6 switches on and you can expect to get 30 mpg in combined city/highway driving. Fully recharging a depleted battery takes about two hours using a Level 2-style 220-volt power source. The Pacifica Hybrid is at its best when you maximize the electric battery. Take our experience on the 116-mile Edmunds evaluation route, for example. We returned a whopping 44.1 mpg on our route, a figure matched only by the 2021 Sienna Hybrid. But there is a caveat. That included a full battery charge. But even if you ignore the electric range, the Pacifica still returned a remarkable 31.9 mpg as a traditional hybrid.
Is the Pacifica Hybrid a good value?	8.0
The Pacifica Hybrid is a strong value. It costs more initially than the regular Pacifica, but potential federal and state tax credits or incentives can effectively blunt that initial hit and make the Pacifica Hybrid a rather intriguing value. On the downside, the van's interior isn't quite as nice in person as it looks in photos. Overall fit and finish wasn't especially impressive, and our test van had some electrical gremlins. But Chrysler does offer a lengthy warranty on hybrid components and the battery, as well as five years of roadside assistance.
Wildcard	7.5
It's one thing to say the Pacifica looks attractive among minivans. But we think Chrysler gave it just enough style to rank it above some SUVs out there. It's not particularly fun to drive, but there is satisfaction to be derived from driving a big people mover like this and not using any gasoline.

Which Pacifica does Edmunds recommend?

We think the Touring L offers the best balance between value and standard features. You get standard leather seats, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and sunshades for rear passengers. If you want to add a few extras, we'd go for the panoramic sunroof and the Premium and Safety Sphere Group for the upgraded audio system, navigation and extra advanced driver aids.

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.

We have about 500 miles on the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Pinnacle and love it! It looks great outside and the interior in the Pinnacle trim is incredible. My wife always said she would never drive a minivan but the Pacifica changed her mind. It is fully electric for 32-35 miles and then turns into a hybrid, so far we are still on the original tank of gas (with no need to fill up

Best Minivan Comparison: Kia Carnival vs. Toyota Sienna vs. Honda Odyssey vs. Chrysler Pacifica

RYAN ZUMMALLEN: Let's drop the act-- fanny packs are back; brussel sprouts taste good now; and minivans are cool. Not just cool for families, or cool for road trips. They're just cool, in general. Today we're going to compare four of our top ranked minivans-- The Kia Carnival; Chrysler Pacifica; Toyota Sienna; and Honda Odyssey. Keep watching to find out what's right for you. Before we dive in, do a sick burn on that Like button, and hit Subscribe so that you can see our videos before all of your friends. If you're thinking about selling your car, go to edmunds.com/sellmycar to get a cash offer on your ride right now. So The 2022 Carnival replaces The Sedona, but this has a much more SUV-like style to it. It's powered by a V6 engine making 290 horsepower-- the most in class. It has a 10 Year, 100,000 Mile Powertrain Warranty-- which is also the best in its class. The Pacifica Hybrid has a new look for 2021, but that's not all that's going for it. It has the best value in its class, with available tax rebates; incentives; HOV car pooling access; and EV battery that gives you 32 miles of range. And its normal Hybrid Mode achieves 30 miles per gallon. Plus it has a 10 Year, 100,000 Mile Battery Warranty. On the downside, the hybrid does not have all-wheel-drive. And Chrysler recommends you don't tow with this Model. The Sienna is redesigned for 2021, as well, and now comes standard as a hybrid. Plus you can also option all-wheel-drive, if you want. Its EPA rating is 36 MPG, combined. That's best in class. It's also the only minivan to offer free routine maintenance for two years, and 25,000 miles. It has a 10 Year, 150,000 Mile Battery Warranty and optional all-wheel-drive. The Odyssey has long been a benchmark for minivans. Its strong V6 engine and stable handling make it enjoyable to drive. And it's packed with modern safety and tech features. Each of these starts around $32,000 to $34,000, but you should expect to pay about 40,000 for the most popular trims and options. So what stands out inside The Carnival? Well you get excellent materials, and pretty comfortable seats on this SX Prestige trim. There's also lots of interesting textures, and soft surfaces throughout the interior it's kind of a bummer that there's no pass through storage under here like on some of the other minivans that we have, but you get huge vibrant screens with menus that are easy to control using all of these buttons. Although I wish they were a little bit bigger. You also get wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The large screen is perfect for seeing the bird's eye view to make parking a breeze. Unfortunately the piano black soft touch buttons blow it-- smudge easily-- and they don't have haptic feedback. Lastly, we wish Kia's Smart Trunk feature activated more predictably. In The Pacifica there's a new top trim called The Pinnacle-- with quilted leather seats and pillows. There's huge sliding doors, and easy access to the third row. Leg room is just about average, though. It's Uconnect Infotainment System has clear graphics, quick responses, and good native apps. Unfortunately, the hybrid battery means you don't get the Stow 'n Go feature that lets you fold rear seats into the floor. In The Sienna, it's easy to get in and out thanks to good interior packaging, and large door openings. There's also a large central touch screen, but it glares in direct sunlight. Thankfully, there's a digital surround view camera, and a digital rearview mirror available, if you want. The in-cabin fridge and vacuum cleaner that we love so much is discontinued for 2022, due to supplier issues. Now, the second row seats slide the farthest, and have the most leg room. But, due to the integrated airbags, you can't take them out. This is the only van in the class that you can't remove the second row seats on. We have mixed feelings about the kick open side doors and rear hatch, because sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. In The Odyssey, the second row seats are at just the right height, and they also recline. As the driver, you get so-so visibility over the hood, and pretty bulky pillars. There's also no surround view when you're backing up. It has stow-able rear seats, but the cabin vacuum cleaner is discontinued-- at least for this year, due to supplier issues. And, the infotainment system feels dated. Now that we know a bit about our magnificent minivans, let's see how they drive on the road. All right, behind the wheel of The Kia Carnival. As we said, The Carnival is powered by a V6 engine, and it feels plenty strong for this vehicle. There are no issues with feeling underpowered, or getting off a line to slow, anything like that. In fact, if you step on it, the transmission will downshift pretty quickly-- and it'll even give you a little bit of a roar. [ENGINE REVS] Hear that? [REVVING CONTINUES] Under the hood, all good marks for The carnival. It also delivers a nice smooth ride. To be fair, the suspension is a little bit more firm in The Carnival than some of our other minivans, and when it comes to steering and handling, this feels more like an SUV. Whereas some of those other vehicles really do mimic how it feels to drive a smaller car. When it comes to fuel economy, The Carnival is EPA rated at 20 to miles combined-- which is right in line with other front wheel drive minivans in the class. However its highway rating is down 2 MPG, compared to The Odyssey and The Pacifica. And if you're really that concerned about fuel economy, you should probably be looking real hard at The Sienna. Sienna time. The Toyota minivan is smooth, but ultra slow. Its brakes are also a little tricky to use sometimes-- not quite as consistent as the other competitors, here. But the steering is light and easy, which is great when you're tooling around the Gymboree parking lot. On the plus side, it's EPA rated at 36 MPG, combined. Fuel economy is exceptional. Believe it or not, The Odyssey is borderline fun to drive. With precise steering and braking, it all just feels cohesive and well-put-together. Even the 10-speed automatic transmission is sorted out nicely. Its EPA rating is 22 MPG combined, which is true of all Odysseys, because there's no all-wheel-drive or hybrid version. When in EV mode, this Pacifica plug-in hybrid offers instant torque that moves the van sharply and smoothly. It likes moderate acceleration, but will oblige if you need a little mid-range punch. The ride is compliant, and generally smooth across varying road surfaces. But it's not as nimble as The Honda Odyssey or The Sienna. And the turning radius feels noticeably larger. This new Pinnacle trim comes with quilted leather seats, which are basically the pumpkin spice latte of auto interiors, but I still like them. I'm kind of basic. Each of these minivans have done a solid job of keeping up with the times. When it comes to our Edmunds minivan rankings, The Carnival is tied for fourth place with the non-hybrid Pacifica. Yes, it has distinct styling, but The Carnival also has an underwhelming driving experience and unrefined tech features. The Sienna, third on our list, remains a competent choice with lots of storage, and outstanding fuel economy. The Odyssey, at number two, has tons of versatility, and a car-like driving experience. And, taking the number one spot, is The Pacifica Hybrid, because it's packed with the latest technology. It has great mileage and, potentially, the best overall value in its class-- due to fuel savings and tax credits. Hey, thanks for watching.

Chrysler Pacifica vs. Honda Odyssey

The recipe for the Odyssey hasn't changed much over the years: a practical and easy-to-use interior, a strong V6 engine and excellent road manners. It's simple, but it's worked to keep the Honda at the top of our minivan rankings for some time. But the Pacifica offers more ingredients, namely all-wheel drive, a plug-in hybrid version and a more versatile interior.

Chrysler Pacifica vs. Toyota Sienna

The Sienna has taken many forms in its life, but the newest version is the most striking. And thanks to its standard hybrid powertrain, it's also the most efficient. But the Sienna has nonremovable second-row seats, so it isn't as versatile as the Pacifica, and the Sienna's engine lacks power, especially when it's fully loaded.

Compare Chrysler Pacifica & Toyota Sienna features

Chrysler Pacifica vs. Kia Sedona

The Sedona offers loads of features as well as a strong warranty. But it's not quite as big or versatile as the Pacifica, and it lacks the option of all-wheel drive. The Pacifica also offers a more modern infotainment system and a smoother ride. Kia will be replacing the Sedona with the all-new Carnival for 2022.

Should I lease or buy a 2021 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.
