2023 Chrysler Pacifica Review

Comfortable. Practical. Stylish. Not the first things that come to mind when you think of a minivan, but the 2023 Chrysler Pacifica does great at combining all of the best parts of a minivan with a stylish exterior so you don't have to compromise style for space as a parent. Minivans may not typically have the same appeal as a SUV, but the Pacifica quickly demonstrates the benefit of such a spacious vehicle, especially for large or busy families. 


Aside from space, one major concern for families when purchasing a new vehicle is safety. You want to not only get from point A to point B, but you also want to do so safely. The 2023 Chrysler Pacifica offers peace of mind with over 115 standard and available safety and security features, including features like the Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking System, Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, and LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist. These features work to keep both you and your family safe, as well as those around you. In fact, the 2022 Chrysler Pacifica was the IIHS top safety pick, so you know your family will be in good hands.


The 2023 Pacifica also has a lot of cool and useful features for a family vehicle, such as Stow 'n Go Seating, Easy Tilt Seating and the available integrated vacuum-Stow 'n Vac powered by RIDGID. A Uconnect 5 infotainment system comes on the largest standard touchscreen in its class that allows up to five different customizable profiles.


The Chrysler Pacifica has four different trim levels: Touring, Touring L, Limited AWD, and Pinnacle AWD. In addition to the four trim levels, the Pacifica is also available as a hybrid. For the hybrid, the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle boasts a 32 mile electric range, with a combined total of around 520 miles, effectively switching between gas and electric power.


The first trim level, the Touring, comes with a 3.6 liter V6 9 speed automatic transmission. It includes features like dual zone automatic air, rear air conditioning with separate controls, driver and front passenger heated seats, keyfob with remote keyless entry, heated mirrors, rain sensing windshield wipers and more. 


The Touring L is similar, but where the Touring comes with front-wheel drive, the Touring L comes with the option of front-wheel or all-wheel drive. The Touring L includes the same features, but also includes leatherette seats.


The Limited once again includes the previous features, now including 1st and 2nd row regular express open/close sliding and tilting glass sunroof, Nappa leather seat trim, and a navigation system.


Lastly, the Pinnacle includes leather seat trim, driver and passenger lumbar support, and parking assist. The wheels are also upgraded.
