Reinventing the idea of a dowdy minivan, the 2018 Chrysler Pacifica offers style, function, comfort, and capability. Family-oriented buyers can rely on the Pacifica's all-around practicality, without sacrificing modern technology or a luxury feel.
Those looking for a modern take on the classic minivan can learn more about the performance, features, and style of the 2018 Chrysler Pacifica with our in-depth model review.
Style
Moving away from the boxy styling of older minivans, the 2018 Chrysler Pacifica adds a sporty front end, metallic trims, and smooth contours for a sleek silhouette. Instead of disguising its proportions, the Pacifica uses it to maximize the space and visibility, while maintaining a high-end look.
Inside, the sweeping dash and sculpted surfaces have a luxury feel, a style point that the stitched accents and thin metallic trims only serve to enhance. The new Pacifica is also available with many upscale interior color themes.
Performance
All 2018 Chrysler Pacifica gasoline-powered models are equipped with a 3.6L V6 that produces 287 horsepower, and is mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. The electric option, the Pacifica Hybrid, offers a plug-in powertrain that is capable of 30 miles of driving on electric only, and an overall EPA-estimated fuel economy of 84 MPGe.
With electric power steering, front struts, and rear trailing arms, the Chrysler Pacifica is remarkably controlled and nimble on any surface. The powerful engine and low gear range keep it strong and eager for a sporty ride on curving roads. Also, the responsive brakes ensure that it's reliable enough for a family vehicle.
Interior Space and Comfort
Throughout the cabin, the 2018 Chrysler Pacifica carves out every inch of available space for passengers and cargo alike. Deep console bins, small cubbies, and deep door pockets offer versatility and adjust the space as needed. The power-assist button allows seats to be moved out of the way when folding the back rows. Also, the second-row seat is removable for maximum space. The Chrysler Pacifica offers the exclusive fold-away system for the second-row seats, which hides them away in the floor with the flip of lever.
In total, there's 197.3 cubic feet of space with 140.5 cubic feet behind the first row, 87.5 cubic feet behind the second row, and 32.3 cubic feet behind the third row. With the removable or folding seats, the Pacifica can easily haul passengers and their belongings, or be modified to haul large cargo.
In all seat positions, you will have ample head- and legroom, and the adjustable and bolstered seating ensures that passengers will be comfortable for long drives. Depending on the trim level, the Chrysler Pacifica can be filled with soft-touch leather, additional USB ports, and a rear-seat entertainment system to keep rear passengers comfortable, connected, and entertained.
