2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid

The Chrysler brand continues to set the pace for the minivan segment with the new 2021 Chrysler Pacifica. The first-ever minivan to offer both gas and hybrid powertrains, Chrysler is elevating its minivan game to new levels, creating a new top-of-the-line Pinnacle model in the segment, offering all-wheel-drive (AWD) capability paired with Pacifica’s class-exclusive Stow ‘n Go seating, more standard safety features than any vehicle in the industry, new FamCAM interior camera, wireless charging, next-generation Uconnect 5 connectivity, an athletic new look, and loads more creature comforts and interior storage for the 2021 model year.

The Pacifica Hybrid, the first hybrid minivan, delivers more than 80 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe) in electric-only mode, an all-electric range of more than 30 miles and a total range of more than 500 miles.

The Chrysler Pacifica continues to hold its status as the most awarded minivan four years in a row with more than 135 honors and industry accolades. As the first company to introduce the minivan and through six generations of the vehicle, FCA has innovated 116 minivan firsts, including nearly 40 minivan-first features on the Pacifica. The company has sold more than 15 million minivans globally since 1983, twice as many as any other manufacturer over 37 years.

- System engages seamlessly at any speed, without any activation required by the driver
- If any of the wheels lose traction, Pacifica’s AWD system automatically activates transfer of all available engine torque to the wheels with more traction, with limited slip to control steering in all road conditions
- Enhanced traction in range of driving conditions: dry pavement, snow, non-paved roads
- When drivetrain detects AWD is not needed, disconnects power-transfer unit and rear drive module automatically to stop drive shaft from spinning, reducing driveline drag, improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions — class-exclusive in the minivan segment

Exterior refresh of grille, front fascia, headlamps, fog lamps and taillamps reimagines Pacifica lineup as more athletic and aggressive, with utility-vehicle-inspired styling cues:
