How would you like to cruise suburbia in the family car of the year? Named the best and most versatile vehicle in its class, it’s easy to become enchanted by the feature-packed 2018 Chrysler Pacifica minivan. Your family is going to love this new baby-hauler. Here are five reasons why.
Trims and Exterior Form
The customizable Pacifica is available in six decked out trims, from the brand new base L, LX, Touring Plus, Touring L, Touring L Plus, and the classy Limited. Starting at $26,995, the first reason you’re going to love it is that it doesn’t cost junior’s college fund. You won’t need to take out a second mortgage either.
Step back and run your eyes over your family’s new minivan. Its crisp, sleek profile offers an attractive set of chrome roof rails on the Touring L trim. Two new colors grace Pacifica’s already generous palette including copper pearl and ocean blue that will appeal to any Disney princess-in-training. The new S appearance package is turning heads with sporty black accents on the family’s ride.
Performance Features
As we mentioned, Cars.com named the 2018 Pacifica its top pick for family cars. It has high-performance features you won’t find in most minivans, such as Stow’n Go fold-flat seats that will save dad’s back as well as the hands-free power liftgate. Throw in refined drivability, and you’ve got yourself one handy family-mover.
Two separate, optional Uconnect theater entertainment systems keep boredom at bay on trips to grandma’s and put the brakes on bickering over what to watch. Refreshingly intuitive controls in an updated touchscreen add teen-required connectivity with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard.
Interior Craftsmanship
Pacifica is both the tallest and widest vehicle in its class, which results in its outstanding interior roominess. Depending on how you configure the second-row seating, the Pacifica offers comfy room for seven or eight. The snazzy S package also shows up in the cabin with available black Nappa leather seats.
There are four full sets of LATCH car-seat connectors for the little ones still in boosters. Discover more than 140 cubic feet of space with all the seats down — plenty of room for the birthday bike or a new toddler bedroom suite.
Advanced Safety Features
Nothing is more important than your family’s safety. That’s why Chrysler added its standard SafetyTec package including blind spot monitoring, rear park assist, and rear cross path detection to every trim — even the base L. Of course, the Pacifica aced the full battery of crash tests from both the NHTSA and IIHS, also winning a top safety pick award.
Hybrid Powertrain
Did you know the Pacifica comes in a hybrid too? With an impressive 566-mile driving range, an efficiency rating of 84 MPGe, and 33-miles of pure electric energy, this is your next-generation minivan today.
The new Pacifica has a modern vibe and a fresh style. With an above average predictability score and tons of family-friendly features, what’s not to love about the 2018 Chrysler Pacifica?
