The Chrysler Pacifica Went From Economical to Luxurious
The Chrysler Pacifica has been a minivan worth betting on for years. Literally, it’s been the TCC’s Best Mini Man To Buy since 2017. However, in 2021 along with more practical upgrades, you can get a brand-new luxurious Chrysler Pacifica with even more comfort, tech, and safety features.
The 2021 Chrysler Pacifica offers more luxury
If you still want a practical minivan, the Chrysler Pacifica Voyager maintains its economical price as the base level trim. It only has a $250 price increase over the 2020 Pacifica model and includes third-row seats that fold into the floor and a 7-inch touch screen that connects to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. But additional safety features such as automatic emergency braking raise the price.
According to TheCarConnection, each 2021 Chrysler Pacifica trim above the Voyager, and LX trims include standard safety features such as LED headlights, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warnings, blind-spot monitors, etc.
Standard features for convenience include a faster Uconnect 5 system with a 10.1-inch touch screen, power sliding doors, and seating for up to eight passengers. However, seating for seven is standard.
The base engine with the Chrysler Pacifica is a 3.6-liter V6 powerhouse that pumps out 287-hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. This is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission that powers the front wheels. However, you can now opt for all-wheel drive or a plug-in hybrid powertrain with the higher Touring and Pinnacle trims.

The Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid costs around $42,000 and offers a 32-mile electric range. With electric and gas power combined, you can efficiently achieve a 520-mile range before having to fill up the tank.
