The Pacifica gets pricey, but it's also super practical and plush. Elegant and well built describe the Pacifica's interior. Chrysler's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 is always pleasant and potent. The current-generation Pacifica has been on sale for about four years.

Pros
  • Powerful V6 engine

  • Comfortable to drive
Cons
  • Expensive for what you get

The Pacifica gets Chrysler's new Uconnect 5 infotainment tech for 2021. New for this year is the FamCam interior camera that helps drivers keep an eye on their little ones. The Pacifica Hybrid starts at $41,490 including $1,495 for destination and extends to $52,340.

The Pacifica Pinnacle comes standard with just about everything. Amazon Alexa capability is baked in, as are wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A new FamCam interior monitor uses a roof-mounted lens to keep an eye on rear-seat occupants. Like before, it'll make a great road trip minivan, soaking up the miles.

Pros
  • Powerful V6
  • Comfortable to drive
  • New infotainment system
Cons
  • A little janky
  • Alternatives are more fun to drive

The 2020 Chrysler Pacifica PHEV is still a minivan, and no amount of bling will make you feel cool driving it. The interior of the Pacifica Hybrid stands out with tons of passenger room and cargo capacity. The Chrysler Uconnect infotainment system has been a favorite of ours for its easy and intuitive interface.

Pros
  • Excellent fuel efficiency
  • Expansive interior
  • Powerful hybrid and electric motors
Cons
  • No Stow 'N Go seats
