Overview

What's New

The 2021 Chrysler Pacifica receives updated styling, available all-wheel drive, a full suite of safety equipment as standard, updated infotainment, and a new ultra-premium trim level.

Choosing Your Chrysler Pacifica

There are four trim levels offered. The Touring is priced from $36,540, the Touring L is $39,640, the Limited is $49,885, and the new Pinnacle trim is $54,885.

Engine Choices

The Pacifica is fitted with a 3.6-liter V6 that generates 287 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. Power is sent through a nine-speed automatic transmission to the front wheels while an all-wheel-drive system is optional on the Touring and Touring L trims ($2,995) and standard on the Limited and Pinnacle trims.

In terms of fuel economy, the FWD models achieve an EPA-estimated 19 miles per gallon city, 28 mpg highway, and 22 combined while the AWD model (and its 0.8-inch greater ride height) sees reduced figures of 17, 25, and 20 mpg, respectively. When equipped with the $995 Trailer-Tow Group, the Pacifica gains additional hardware to pull up to 3,600 pounds which is on par for the class.

Passenger and Cargo Capacity

The Pacifica is equipped for seven passengers on most trim levels, however, the Touring and Touring L trims with FWD can be equipped with a middle second-row seat for $595 to increase the capacity to eight.

As is typical of a minivan, cargo room and passenger space are copious. At 204.3 inches long, the Pacifica squeezes in between the Odyssey and Sienna although it sits about an inch wider than both at 79.6 inches.

The third-row passengers are the only ones that might feel pinched with 36.5 inches of legroom which is about an inch and half to two inches shy of what the Honda and Toyota offer. The Pacifica can hold 32.3 cubic feet of stuff behind the third row, 87.5 cubic feet behind the second row, and 140.5 cubic feet with both rows folded which is almost as much as a Chevrolet Suburban which is nearly two feet longer.

Safety Features

The 2021 Pacifica is equipped with more standard driver-assist safety features than before with automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, reverse automatic braking, blind-spot detection with cross-traffic alert, full-speed adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, automatic high beams, and rain-sensing wipers being among the most prominent. The Touring L trim further offers a 360-degree camera and a parking assist system that can handle parallel and perpendicular maneuvers through the optional Premium & Safety Sphere Group.

IIHS hasn’t fully tested the updated Pacifica, however, the previous year of the model earned Good crashworthiness scores and is considered a 2019 Top Safety Pick. NHTSA has awarded the minivan a 5-star overall safety rating.

Connectivity

The Pacifica has been upgraded with the brand’s Android-based Uconnect 5 infotainment system with better graphics, more customization options, and faster operating speeds.

Controlled through a 10.1-inch touchscreen display, the system includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, built-in Amazon Alexa, SiriusXM with 360L, Bluetooth dual-phone connectivity, and auxiliary and USB audio inputs. Wi-Fi, a 115-volt power outlet, a Blue-Ray DVD player, HDMI inputs, and second-row video screens are available on the Touring L trim.

The Limited trim additionally includes HD radio and a TomTom-based navigation system.

Pacifica Touring - From $36,540

The Touring trim is well equipped now that the low-cost minivan angle is fulfilled by the Chrysler Voyager (which does not receive the Pacifica’s updates). The 2021 Pacifica wears a reshaped grille and new front and rear fascia that are met with updated full LED headlights, full-width LED taillights within high gloss plastic surrounds, LED fog lights, 17-inch alloy wheels, a power tailgate, power sliding doors with built-in sunshades, body-colored heated mirrors with integrated turn signals, a roof rack with integrated cross rails, and a capless fuel-filler.

Proximity entry sensors are placed on all doors to enable entry to an interior with cloth seats with eight-way power-adjustability for the driver, a seven-inch driver’s information display, and three-zone climate control. Chrysler’s stow ‘n go second-row seating - where the seats collapse into the floor - is standard, even on AWD models.

The Touring offers the $895 S Appearance Package which includes dark polished 18-inch wheels, black window surround trim, a gloss black grille, and gloss black rear bumper trim. Inside, premium cloth seating, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and piano black interior trim are included.

The Cold Weather Group is separately available for $495 and adds heated front seats, and a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Pacifica Touring L - From $39,640

The Touring L trim includes the Cold Weather Group and also features perforated leather seats with memory positioning for the driver, bright roof rails and door handles, and an enlarged center console with illuminated cup holders.

In addition to the S Appearance Package, the Premium & Safety Sphere Group is offered for $2,295 and includes a 13-speaker 506-watt Alpine sound system, an eight-way power-adjustable passenger seat, a surround-view camera, additional sound deadening, and active noise cancelation.

The $2,995 Uconnect Theater Family Group adds the connectivity features noted plus a forward-facing interior camera that displays the third-row’s and second-row’s (rear-facing) occupants on the large touchscreen, heated second-row seats, hands-free power tailgate and sliding doors, and a built-in vacuum.

Pacifica Limited - From $49,885

The Limited trim wears a bright exterior with polished 18-inch wheels as well as chrome body-trim and door mirrors, which now include puddle lights and power-fold and auto-dim functionality. Its interior is upgraded with premium leather seating surfaces and steering wheel, ventilated front seats, a power-folding third row, and several of the features of the Uconnect Theater Family ground such as the vacuum, heated second row, hands-free power doors, and a powered passenger seat.

A sliding panoramic sunroof and a tilt-open rear sunroof are also included. Because of the additional standard features, the S Appearance Package is now $395, the Uconnect Theater Family Group is $2,495, and the Premium and Safety Sphere group is $1,895 although the Apline speakers are replaced with 19 Harman Kardon speakers, a redesigned subwoofer, and a more powerful amplifier.

Pacifica Pinnacle - From $54,885

The Pinnacle trim enables the Pacifica to push further upmarket than in previous years. It wears unique 20-inch wheels and platinum chrome exterior trim but the interior is where the most notable changes are found.

The Pinnacle trim beyond simply including the optional features of the Limited trim with unique interior colors, quilted seat-side bolsters with matching lumbar pillows for the second-row captain’s chairs, a suede headliner, deeper carpeting, and an enhanced center console with an integrated wireless charging pad and padded sides with contrast stitching.

CarsDirect Tip

The Touring L trim, with its included safety and infotainment equipment and offered all-wheel drive and the Premium & Safety Sphere Group, is a value-oriented and capable people hauler.

Posh people mover. Let's face it, minivans like the Chrysler Pacifica have never been glamorous. Their place in the pecking order has always been unfortunately a lowly byproduct of their utilitarian roots and a defined, unexciting shape. We think that's a shame, as there may be nothing quite so beautiful as being able to fit the whole brood and all accompanying gear and luggage in one vehicle with room to spare.

Our thoughts aren't exactly shared by the populace at large: minivan sales continue to slide, despite the current crop of these ideal people movers being as advanced, comfortable, and luxurious as ever. Of the remaining players, the Pacifica is the most premium and perhaps the most alluring - and yes, such a word can be used to describe a minivan.

The Pacifica has another trick up its sleeve as well: an available plug-in hybrid that uses a pair of electric motors mated up to the 3.6-liter V-6 that powers the rest of the lineup. It can travel 32 miles on electric power alone and returns nearly 40 mpg in hybrid mode.

The hybrid is only available with front-wheel drive, but the rest of the Pacifica lineup is now available with all-wheel drive. This isn't a game-changer - you could get all-wheel drive in a Chrysler van back in the early 1990s - but recently only the Toyota Sienna offered all-weather traction. The 2021 Pacifica kills Toyota's monopoly in that regard, and we imagine that will lead to stiffer competition in the northern climes.

Stylish, and not just for a minivan. It helps the Chrysler Pacifica is a classy piece on its own accord as well. It wears elegant sheet metal that reflects Chrysler's aspirational roots and puts the Pacifica on an aesthetically higher plane than its key competitors, the Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey.

The 2021 styling refresh only refines things further. The headlights have been sized down the grille has been replaced with a larger but classier mesh piece, and a new front bumper gives a crisper, more formal impression. In back, full-width taillights enhance the sense of width

The sum of the updates results in what's probably the classiest minivan since the late 1990s Chrysler Town and Country. While the Sienna and Odyssey are overt maximalists, the Chrysler is all restrained lines and sleek minimalism. It's an elegant approach that visually justifies the Pacifica's steep asking prices relative to its competitive set.

Chrysler Pacifica

Feature-laden cabin. Inside, the Pacifica continues the uptown vibes with a swooping dashboard and stylish door panels to match. It's contemporary without being too trendy; the low-slung dash and gentle undulations of the dash don't look four years old. Sharp trim is either glossy or brushed aluminum depending on the surface, but it all works together seamlessly.

Complementing the cabin design is an ambitious set of standard features. Even the cheapest Pacifica, the roughly $35,000 Touring gets tri-zone climate control, a power driver's seat, a power liftgate, and all manner of storage and cubbies.

More features get piled on as you move up the trim ladder, but the new Pinnacle trim outdoes them all. It sports a snazzy black-and-tan interior with quilted Nappa leather upholstery with contrasting stitching and piping, lumbar adjustment on the second-row captain's chairs, and 200 liters of storage across its two storage consoles.

More features get piled on as you move up the trim ladder, but the new Pinnacle trim outdoes them all. It sports a snazzy black-and-tan interior with quilted Nappa leather upholstery with contrasting stitching and piping, lumbar adjustment on the second-row captain's chairs, and 200 liters of storage across its two storage consoles in the first two rows. Forget customized Mercedes Sprinters - this is the sort of van life we want to live.

The Pacifica certainly feels roomy enough to stand in for van life. Cargo space ranges from 32 cubic feet behind the third row to a massive 140 cubes with both rear rows folded. Those figures trail the Odyssey and Sienna and roughly match the Kia Sedona.

Loads of tech. Gracing the dashboard is a new 10.1-inch touchscreen. Besides looking the part of a premium system, the new unit features faster processing speeds and the latest version of Chrysler's Uconnect infotainment software. Augmenting the additional screen real estate is new wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a particularly welcome touch.

Chrysler doesn't limit tech to its touchscreen, either. Simultaneous Bluetooth connectivity, a rear-seat camera, and a rear-seat infotainment system with twin 10 1-inch screens are among the available equipment. Need to charge up? There are up to 12 USB outlets scattered throughout the three rows of seating.

Through last year, the Pacifica's list of standard safety tech wasn't as comprehensive as it needed to be - not when the Sienna Odyssey, and Sedona all came standard with the full complement of modern driver aids. Chrysler finally addresses this by making formerly optional safety kit standard, including automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, active lane control, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.

All the above positions the Pacifica as one of the most tech-forward vans in the segment. The entire competitive set comes with smaller touchscreens, and you won't find 12 USB ports on any other competitor. And wireless smartphone compatibility? Nowhere but the Pacifica.

Final thoughts. There's a lot to like about the Pacifica: optional all-wheel drive, available hybrid power, lots of luxury and tech, and plenty of room. If you're tempted to poo-poo the price, hold your thoughts and go check out the Chrysler Voyager, which is nothing but a low-spec Pacifica that wears a $28,000 price tag.

Between both vans, Chrysler is showing that their grasp of the minivan market has not let up in recent years - if anything, they're as dominant as ever. We'd be worried if we were the competition.
