What engine comes with the Chrysler Pacifica?
3.6L Six-Cylinder Plug-In Hybrid Engine
The gas-only version of the Pacifica is equipped with a 287-horsepower 3.6-liter V-6 engine paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. In contrast, the Pacifica Hybrid model generates a total horsepower of 260, derived from its 3.6-liter V-6 engine and two electric motors. These electric motors are supported by a 16.0-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack.
What are the interior features of the Chrysler Pacifica?
The Pacifica boasts an expansive and airy interior, complemented by numerous storage solutions such as cubbies, cupholders, slide-out bins, and advanced connectivity features, catering to the preferences of minivan enthusiasts. While the overall fit, finish, and materials are of decent quality, there are a few less premium plastic components within the cabin. The elevated Limited and Pinnacle models feature taller center consoles that seamlessly integrate with the dashboard, providing a more SUV-like driving experience. The luxurious Pinnacle variant goes a step further with quilted-leather upholstery and the option of matching lumbar pillows for the second-row captain’s chairs. An available built-in vacuum cleaner is an option, although it occupies space that could otherwise be used for an optional mini-spare tire.
The dashboard of the Chrysler Pacifica showcases the Uconnect 5 infotainment system on a glossy 10.1-inch touchscreen, surrounded by climate-control vents. Uconnect 5 boasts a customizable home screen and seamless integration with Amazon Alexa. Featuring both wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, the system also offers a Wi-Fi hotspot. For additional entertainment, an optional rear-seat entertainment system comes with dual touchscreens and the option to include Amazon Fire TV, granting access to movies and TV through embedded streaming apps. The Pacifica’s cabin is well-equipped with up to 12 USB ports, including USB-C types that enable faster charging for various smart devices.
How does the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Pinnacle drive?
I have two perspectives to answer this question:
As a fairly tall, family man, This category is easy. It’s built around with family in mind. Perfect for the daily run around or road trips. Great features throughout that really keep a big family and their needs as the main objective of this vehicle. This particular car had the luxury feel with the fuel economy savings.
As a car enthusiast, It’s got one purpose and car enthusiast certainly isn’t it, however, the Pinnacle keeps the driver (parents) in mind, and provides you the plush fit and finish with all the bells and whistles to make it the best drive possible.
Final thoughts
Chrysler was the Pioneer in this segment. They know a thing or two about the needs and wants, making it a top contender in the space. Additionally a hybrid system is a must for cars meant to be on the road day in and day out.
