2017 Chrysler Pacifica – Minivan Superstar

Sep 11 by 2 Comments

For decades, families have purchased minivans because they had to, not because they wanted to. But what if, out of the pit of despair that is the minivan segment, a knight in shining armor emerged so cool and so convenient, that people actually wanted to buy it?

2017 Chrysler Pacifica – Minivan Superstar

If you’re somewhat familiar with with the Pacifica nameplate, then you know that it’s synonymous of family and comfort, but one thing it’s not associated with, is the term—minivan. After generations of Grand Caravan and Town & Country minivans, Chrysler decided to ditch the old names, and revitalize the Pacifica with a new, sleek, and family-hauling body. The 2017 Chrysler Pacifica was born.

It’s hard to hide just how much we all enjoyed the Pacifica, since it never stopped surprising us with many features that simply made life easier. Whether it was the easy-to-open rear doors, the Stow ‘n Go storage system, or the easy-to-use Uconnect 8.4 infotainment system, Chrysler certainly did their homework before bringing this vehicle to market.

Enjoy our video review, and don’t forget to shoot us a message if you have any questions!

Highs:

  • Sleek, segment-changing exterior and interior design
  • Designed with kids and families in mind
  • Hybrid model coming in 2017
  • Drives like a sedan rather than a van

Lows:

  • Optional rear window shades looks and feel cheap/low-quality
  • ParkSense rear park assist reacted quite harshly, which resulted in sudden braking while backing up

2017 Chrysler Pacifica Touring L

  • Starts at: $28,595
  • Price as tested: $36,950
