Chrysler Pacifica: The Modern Minivan Leader

The Pacifica is Chrysler's flagship minivan, a family hauler that reinvented the segment and offers an available plug-in hybrid.

Launched in 2016 (the name was earlier used on a crossover), the modern Pacifica revitalized the minivan segment that Chrysler pioneered. It offers handsome styling, a versatile and family-friendly interior with Stow n Go seating, and class-leading features.

A standout is the Pacifica Hybrid, a plug-in hybrid minivan offering electric-only range, a rarity in the segment. The Pacifica also offers available all-wheel drive and advanced safety and entertainment technology for families.

The Pacifica continues Chrysler's minivan legacy, widely regarded as one of the best minivans available and a benchmark for family practicality.

None of those are design reasons. And design is exactly what white tests, mercilessly, every time a car wears it...

Why the Car You Drive Says More About You Than You Want to Admit

Nobody wants to believe their car is a personality test. The standard defense is that it is just transportation, a practical decision based on budget and needs and maybe a little bit of what was available on the lot that day. That defense does not hold up. The car you chose, out of every car available at your price point, is one of the most readable signals you broadcast to everyone who sees you pull into a parking lot...
