2019 Chrysler Pacifica

You can get a 2019 Pacifica as either a gasoline or plug-in hybrid model. The traditional engine comes in L, LX, Touring Plus, Touring L, Touring L Plus, and Limited trims, while the hybrid has three trims: Touring Plus, Touring L, and Limited. Chrysler is an upscale brand, so starting with the L you can see high-class features like heated side mirrors, a 7-inch touch screen, and active noise cancellation. By the time you get a Limited, you'll get top-notch features like HID headlights, a Stow 'n Place roof rack, and hands-free functions for the sliding doors and liftgate.

Regular gasoline models of the 2019 Chrysler Pacifica run on a 3.6-liter V-6 engine that puts out 287 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. The plug-in hybrid version has the same size engine, but it also comes with a heavy-duty battery and two electric motors that give the minivan a combined 260 horsepower. The hybrid model also uses a CVT instead of a traditional automatic, and overall it gets 32 combined mpg and an EV range of 33 miles. With the right towing equipment, the Pacifica can tow up to 3,600 pounds.

The 2019 Pacifica is all about giving passengers the smoothest, quietest ride possible, whether you're taking the kids to a soccer game or you're crossing the country on an annual vacation. Even so, while the Pacifica's suspension makes comfort its priority, it sticks better than you'd expect to the corners of a winding road. Even the Pacifica Hybrid manages to deliver strong acceleration since electric motors pump out instant torque compared to gasoline engines. Naturally, the hybrid models also have the best fuel efficiency of any available minivan.

The interior of the 2019 Chrysler Pacifica is comfortable, refined, and very spacious. The rear cargo area has 32.3 cubic feet to spare, and once you fold down the Stow 'n Go rear seats, you'll get a flat loading surface of 140.5 cubic feet. The interior also comes with standard features like a 7-inch touch screen and the Keyless Enter-N-Go system. With the right trim, you also get features like an 8.4-inch touch screen with navigation, heated and ventilated front seats, Nappa leather upholstery, the Stow 'n Vac vacuum, and the Uconnect Theater backseat entertainment system.

As a modern family vehicle, you can expect plenty of safety features on the 2019 Pacifica like the ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera, eight air bags, and LATCH anchors for child seats. With the right trim, you'll also get safety features like LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist and Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus.
