This year, Chrysler has redefined what a minivan is capable of. Sure, it’s still full of space for everyone and loaded with easy-to-use infotainment, but it’s also a smooth ride that saves you money with its brilliant fuel economy. Here are a few of the features making the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid a must-have for buyers.
America’s Only Plug-In Hybrid
Unlike other hybrids in its class, the Pacifica lets you plug in and recharge your own battery so you don’t have to depend on your car recapturing energy through the brakes or using the engine as a generator as other Hybrids do. It still does these things too, so you get the best of both worlds, but you’ll have the security of leaving the house knowing you’re on a full battery that will last you an incredible 32 miles.
Chrysler is working alongside the charging company Qmerit to set you up with a certified technician who can install your charger without any fuss and with plenty of outstanding customer service. An available Level II charger works especially fast; a 240-volt charger will have your battery full in as little as two hours.
Brilliant Fuel Economy
With an EPA rating of 82 miles per gallon for the city and highway combined, it’s no wonder the 2021 Pacifica is getting people talking. The Pacifica combines two electric motors with a 3.6-liter V6 engine to give you some zippy acceleration and 260 horsepower. Together, they get you 520 miles of driving range, 32 of which can be totally gas-free. But you won’t even have to think about it thanks to clever technology that switches between gas and electric all on its own.
A Family-Friendly Car
With seven supportive seats that all offer plenty of leg and headroom, everyone can be comfortable no matter what length the drive. Plenty of safety features, including lane-keep assist and stop-and-go adaptive cruise control, come standard to install the utmost confidence when you’re driving with the family. And road trips will never be boring with the available rear-seat entertainment system and the overhead DVD player, but they may be embarrassing if the 20-speaker Harman Kardon sound system leads to some sing-alongs.
Room for All Your Stuff
With 32.3 cubic feet of cargo space on offer, plus a mammoth 140.5 cubic feet with the two rows of seats folded down, you’re at risk of overpacking. Stow ‘n Go seats fold all the way into the floor for extra space, while the Ultra Centre Console that comes with the Limited lets you hide valuable items in plain sight.
Excellent Handling
Who said family-friendly meant having to compromise on a great driving experience? The continuous variable automatic transmission offers a smoother drive than many of its competitors, and gentle suspension nicely soaks up bumpy roads. You’ll be delighted at how little body roll this minivan experiences, even around sharper corners.
For a minivan that the whole family – and the wallet – is going to love, you can’t go past the 2021 Pacifica Hybrid. If you’re ready to start driving, head to Bill Snethkamp CDJR in Highland Park, MI, today.
