2027 Chrysler Pacifica

2027 Chrysler Pacifica - Foldable Stow 'n Go seats are magic, three adult-size rows, plenty of creature comforts. - Refresh is only skin deep, Kia and Toyota offer much more fuel-efficient hybrid models. - The Chrysler Pacifica is a stalwart in the minivan market, and although its 2027 refresh is only cosmetic, its clever storage features and capacious interior keep it competitive. For Sale Near You See all results for new 2027 Chrysler Pacifica for sale near 25304 20–22 Combined 7 Seats Gas, Hybrid Front-Wheel Drive, All-Wheel Drive 3 Years/36,000 Miles Overview Over a decade since it first hit the streets, the Pacifica remains an icon of the minivan segment that Chrysler invented. The ubiquitous family-hauler hasn’t changed much since its debut, but the Pacifica has finally received a styling refresh for the 2027 model year to keep it somewhat contemporary. With sleek new front and rear ends—but the same middle—the updated Pacifica signals the forward path for Chrysler's design direction. Not much has changed under its skin, however. Flip open its hood, and you'll find the same trusty 287-hp 3.6-liter V-6 that has become a mainstay of the model. Nothing major has changed inside, either. The Pacifica still retains an expansive interior with either seven or eight seats, a smorgasbord of creature comforts, and Chrysler's signature Stow ‘n Go second- and third-row seats that fold flat into the floor. Expert Tip: If you're looking for the fuel efficiency that a hybrid minivan can provide, we'd recommend either the Kia Carnival Hybrid or the hybrid-only Toyota Sienna. Where This Vehicle Ranks #5 in Best MinivansCompare the 2027 Chrysler Pacifica with the top vehicles in this segment with our new compare tool. What's New for 2027? The Pacifica received updated front-end styling that is an obvious departure from its previous look. New angular headlights connected by a width-spanning light bar extend vertically down the length of its fascia and bookend a redesigned grille with an illuminated Chrysler badge in the center. The taillights have also been given a similar treatment, and there are eight new wheel designs to choose from. Some minor adjustments have also been made to the Pacifica's interior trim to give its cabin a more premium feel. Pricing and Which One to Buy Engine, Transmission, and Performance - Engine: 287-hp 3.6-liter V-6 - Transmission: nine-speed automatic - Drivetrain: front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive Available exclusively as a gas-only model, the Pacifica packs a 287-hp 3.6-liter V-6 and a nine-speed automatic transmission under its hood. Front-wheel drive comes standard, but all-wheel drive is available for an additional $3345. There used to be a plug-in hybrid variant of the Pacifica, but Stellantis recently axed all of its plug-in models, sending the Pacifica Hybrid to the electrical boneyard. When we drove the 2027 Pacifica, we found its ride quality to be pleasant and its steering to be trusty and linear. What's Your Car Worth? Car and Driver calculates your car's value in three free and easy steps - using the same Black Book® data dealers use to appraise vehicles. 0–60-MPH Times - C/D 60-mph Test: 7.3 seconds (FWD), 8.2 seconds (AWD) In Comparison: It's not the quickest minivan we've tested, but the front-wheel-drive Pacifica is far from sluggish. The front-wheel-drive model is about mid-pack in terms of performance, while the all-wheel-drive version is a bit pokier. Towing and Payload Capacity - Max Towing: 3600 pounds The maximum towing capacity for the Chrysler Pacifica is 3600 pounds. Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG - C/D 75-mph Highway Fuel-Economy Test: 31 mpg (FWD), 27 mpg (AWD) - EPA City Rating: 17–19 mpg - EPA Highway Rating: 25–28 mpg The EPA rates the Pacifica at 19 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined. The AWD version is rated a few mpg lower all around. The front-wheel-drive Pacifica Limited we tested last delivered an impressive 31 mpg on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy route, while the AWD model recorded 27 mpg in the same test. While the Pacifica's fuel economy is competitive, the competition from Kia and Toyota includes hybrids that are much more fuel efficient. Interior, Comfort, and Cargo First Row: Airy, spacious, and packed with cubbies, cupholders, and underfloor bins, the Pacifica is big on the features that minivan buyers love. Fit, finish, and materials are all decent, but a few down-market plastic pieces lurk inside the cabin. Upscale Limited and Pinnacle models come with taller center consoles that blend more seamlessly with the dashboard, giving those trims a more SUV-like feel from behind the wheel. The fancy Pinnacle model comes with quilted-leather upholstery and even offers matching lumbar throw pillows for the second-row captain's chairs—a feature we haven't seen since the last time the ultra-luxurious Mercedes-Maybach S-class visited our office. Second Row: The Pacifica's second row comes standard with captain's chairs, but a second-row bench seat can also be optioned. Because the Stow 'n Go seats need to be compact enough to fold into the van's floor, they have thinner padding than you’ll find in rival vans. Third Row: The Pacifica's third row is spacious enough to be comfortable for adults. Cargo Capacity: When it comes to hauling cargo, the Pacifica doesn't disappoint. We managed to fit 53 of our carry-on suitcases inside with the second- and third-row seats stowed. Infotainment and Connectivity - Infotainment: 10.1-inch touchscreen - Connectivity: Bluetooth, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto - Audio System: six-speaker audio system (standard), 19-speaker Harman/Kardon Premium audio system (optional) Chrysler's Uconnect 5 infotainment system displays on a glossy 10.1-inch touchscreen that's framed by climate-control vents on the van's dashboard. Uconnect 5 offers a reconfigurable home screen and Amazon Alexa integration. It also supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity and a Wi-Fi hotspot. An optional rear-seat entertainment system provides dual touchscreens to keep the kids placated and can be had with Amazon Fire TV, which provides access to movies and TV via embedded streaming apps. Up to 12 USB ports dot the Pacifica's cabin, including some that are the USB-C type, which offer quicker charging speeds for smart devices. Safety and Driver-Assistance Features The Pacifica offers nearly every conceivable driver-assistance feature available today. - Standard Safety Features: automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring with rear-cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and lane-departure warning For information about the Pacifica's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Warranty and Maintenance Coverage The Pacifica’s warranty package is average for the class, but it can’t match the Kia Carnival’s lengthy terms. - Limited Warranty: three years or 36,000 miles - Powertrain Warranty: five years or 60,000 miles - Complimentary Maintenance: none C/D Test Results and Specs Each year, we put hundreds of vehicles through our rigorous instrumented testing regimen. If the data in the chart below is for a different model year, that's because this vehicle hasn't changed from when we last tested it, and the test results remain accurate.
