2023 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid
Overview
Convenient and capable, the 2023 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is a minivan with lots to offer drivers, from ample cargo space to a gas-saving battery and pair of electric motors for short, in-town trips. The Chrysler Pacifica is an excellent vehicle for families trying to save money on transportation, but it’s also a highly competent and spacious minivan that’s comfortable and safe.
The Perfect Ride For…
Drivers who need the space and convenience of a minivan and make short in-town trips that would benefit from the plug-in battery range. The Chrysler Pacifica PHEV (plug-in hybrid) is a family-friendly vehicle with unique features like the second row of seats that folds into the floor for a nice boost to interior cargo space. The Pacifica is the first minivan to offer a plug-in hybrid powertrain option with an ideal in-town range of 33 miles.
Drive and Handling
The Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is built to deliver 260 horsepower from a 3.6-liter V-6 engine that works with two electric motors. The battery is a 16.0-kWh lithium-ion pack. The Pacifica Hybrid’s electric range is rated at 33 miles, but that figure may change depending on driving conditions and how aggressively a driver uses the vehicle.
For example, in-town driving at a slower overall speed will generally allow the Pacific to reach that 33-mile range, while driving faster on the highway may reduce the range. Overall, the Pacific Hybrid receives an EPA rating of 82 MPGe combined. In addition to the electric range, the Pacifica also features a 16.5-gallon fuel tank, large enough for virtually any road trip.
Key Features
Some of the most important considerations for parents are the safety features offered in their vehicle, and the Chrysler Pacifica comes in strong with several advanced security and safety features. Drivers will appreciate the Pedestrian Emergency Braking System and the LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist feature. The Pacifica also comes with Blind Spot Monitoring and Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning and Active Braking systems. Chrysler counts more than 115 safety features.
In addition to excellent safety features, the 2023 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid also offers drivers a wealth of interior technology that makes driving pleasant and productive. The Pacifica comes with a 10.1-inch color touchscreen with the Uconnect 5 system that helps drivers plan their charging sessions. The program offers information on driving history, as well as details about charging station locations. The Uconnect 5 system also works as an entertainment system for wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Throughout the cabin, drivers and passengers will find up to 12 USB ports, some of which are USB-C type, which help charge devices faster than traditional USB ports. Keep all passengers entertained with their screens, and never worry that one of the tablets will run out of charge. The Pacifica can also create a Wi-Fi hotspot for passengers who want to connect to the internet while on the road.
The Chrysler Pacifica is outfitted with several pieces of comfort technology in the cabin, like a heated steering wheel and heated front seats, as well as attractive features like perforated leather upholstery. Drivers will also enjoy the driver and passenger heated mirrors and the driver auto-dimming mirror for safety while driving. On the outside, the Pacific comes with 18-inch wheels that perform beautifully with the minivan’s front-wheel drive.
