10 Years On, The Chrysler Pacifica Remains An Ideal Minivan Partner

Chrysler has been perfecting the Pacifica formula for 10 years, and it shows. Skipping the need to reinvent how PRNDLs work, where buttons are located, and what it means to have a smooth powertrain, the Pacifica feels familiar even if you’ve never driven one. They plug-in hybrid is gone, which is a bummer, but the underlying foundation of the Pacifica remains strong. In our review of the 2027 Chrysler Pacifica Pinnacle, we take a look at the powertrain, how it handles, ergonomics - including Stow ‘n Go - and what owners have to say. Verdict? This is a hard-to-beat vehicle for anyone with kids.
