“It has been a great car. It is roomy on the inside; however, this year's model does not have 8-seat capacity—it's only 7. It tows great. Technology features are nice; however, the Bluetooth disconnects frequently. It's a smooth drive.”
2023 Chrysler Pacifica: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2023 Chrysler Pacifica is a carryover with no major changes from 2022. Its design, powertrains, safety equipment, and 10.1-inch touchscreen setup remain essentially the same.
About the 2023 Chrysler Pacifica
1st Pacifica minivan generation (2017-present), seventh model year, in the post-2021 refresh phase.
The Pacifica is Chrysler's family-first minivan built around flexibility, easy passenger access, and a more upscale feel than a basic people mover. Chrysler leans on power sliding doors, a wide standard safety suite, a large touchscreen, Stow 'n Go seating on gas models, available AWD, and a plug-in-hybrid offering to separate it from other minivans. For most buyers, it is a road-trip and kid-hauling vehicle that tries to mix real utility with comfort and technology.
The 2023 Pacifica lineup ranges from the practical Touring, with fold-flat Stow ’n Go second-row seats and wireless smartphone connectivity, to the comfort-focused Limited with Nappa leather and ventilated front seats. Pinnacle is the luxury-oriented version, adding quilted Nappa leather, rear entertainment screens, premium audio, and hands-free sliding doors.

2023 Chrysler Pacifica Reviews
What owners are saying about the 2023 Chrysler Pacifica.

2023 Chrysler Pacifica
(302 reviews)
“The vehicle is great for people with flexibility problems. It is easy to get in and out of the seats and the cargo space is great.”
“This is the only electric van on the market and it allows the driver to carry 6 additional passengers. It is an electric vehicle, but there is no range anxiety because when the battery is depleted you still have 500 miles you can travel on the gas engine. It strikes a nice compromise between the benefits of an electric vehicle and a road trip vehicle.”
