Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid

The Pacifica Hybrid is a plug-in hybrid variant of Chrysler’s top-selling minivan, the Pacifica. Unlike the non-hybrid Pacifica, which offers a stowable second-row bench, the Pacifica Hybrid features second-row captain's chairs, capping seating at seven passengers. It’s the only plug-in hybrid model in Chrysler’s lineup of vehicles.

Since 2018, Chrysler has offered the Pacifica Hybrid in four main trims: the entry-level Touring (originally called Touring Plus), the mid-range Touring L, the well-equipped Limited, and the luxe Pinnacle, which first appeared in 2021. Prior to that, the mid-tier Premium and top-level Platinum were the only two choices (equating roughly to the Touring L and Limited models that followed). All versions come relatively well equipped with standard features, including rear parking sensors, three-zone automatic climate control, and a blind-spot warning system. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration became standard in 2018. With the model’s 2021 refresh, Chrysler added a host of standard driving aids, including adaptive cruise control, forward collision mitigation, and lane-departure warning, all of which had previously been limited to upper trim levels.

Under the hood, the Pacifica Hybrid utilizes a 3.6-liter V6 engine paired with two electric motors and a 16-kWh battery pack. Together, they deliver up to 260 horsepower (combined) to the front wheels (only) via a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). On a full charge, the battery pack provides up to 33 miles of all-electric range and can be refilled in about two hours using a 240-volt household outlet.
