That’s a fantastic question and one that we love to get to answer because we’re also incredibly excited about the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica. To be fair, as a Chrysler dealer, our enthusiasm probably isn’t shocking, but it’s based on a lot more than the brand of vehicles we sell.
It also comes down to how Chrysler designs their vehicles and the way in which their lineup will improve over the next few years. The Pacifica—one of the most impressive and highly awarded minivans in the industry—is central to this remarkable lineup, so let’s take a look at what the 2024 Pacifica offers, and you’ll see why so many people love driving it.
Gorgeous Style Inside and Out
The first thing you’re likely to notice about the 2024 Pacifica is how absolutely stunning it looks as you approach it. While there’s no denying that this is a minivan, it’s a far cry from the somewhat boxy and plain-looking models many of us rode in when we were younger.
The 2024 Pacifica is a master class in design choices that emphasize style and sophistication while still delivering a functional and practical piece of machinery. It has bold lighting on the outside that catches the eye and helps improve visibility when driving at night, along with convenient exterior details like an available hands-free power liftgate and even hands-free power sliding side doors that make loading and unloading the Pacifica incredibly easy.
Inside, you’ll find a gorgeous interior that’s as inviting as it is functional, creating a space that’s perfect for families without ever feeling mundane. The Pinnacle trim, for example, boasts quilted Nappa leather-trimmed seating with second-row leather-trimmed lumbar pillows to ensure you and your passengers are incredibly comfortable.
With seating for up to eight passengers inside, there are hundreds of possible seating configurations in the Pacifica, giving you the kind of functionality that drivers of other vehicles can only dream of. Along with tons of room inside, the Pacifica offers best-in-class towing of up to 3,600 lbs to ensure you can handle anything you need with it.
Bold Performance and Engineering
The exquisite design of the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica goes well beyond its exterior looks and style; it’s also been engineered for robust performance and to deliver a fantastic driving experience. For starters, you have the standard 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine that provides 287 hp, ensuring you have a great time on the road.
One of our favorite things about this powertrain is that it’s available with all-wheel drive (AWD) to boost performance even further. An AWD Pacifica is incredibly fun to drive and ensures you get excellent traction and control even in the roughest and trickiest of driving conditions. This is something you don’t see all that often on minivans, but it’s the perfect way to ensure you have the power you need to get where you’re going, with traction and handling that get you there safely.
Did We Mention the Hybrid Powertrain?
One of our favorite features of the 2024 Pacifica is that it offers a second engine option that surpasses what you’d expect in this kind of vehicle. Not only is it a hybrid powertrain but it’s a plug-in option that transforms this stylish and sophisticated minivan into a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) that can change the way you drive.
If you want to maximize fuel efficiency and you have a passing interest in what driving an all-electric vehicle might be like, then a PHEV is the perfect point of entry. It features a conventional gas-powered engine along with a battery-powered motor that provides additional power; with a PHEV, you can charge the battery for the motor through an external outlet, and it also provides a limited all-electric range.
The PHEV version of the Pacifica gets 260 hp, which is slightly less than the standard version, but you get incredible range and fuel efficiency. For one thing, the 2024 Pacifica PHEV can go up to about 32 miles on electricity alone without touching your gas tank at all. This is perfect for running errands nearby or making a short trip.
Not only that, but thanks to its PHEV design, this model gets an estimated 502 miles of range on a full tank of gas. That’s a remarkable distance, ideal for getting through your weekly routine, heading out on a long road trip, or handling anything else you need with minimal stops for gas.
Remarkable Comfort and Innovative Tech
If you have a big family, then the 2024 Pacifica will provide you with one of the most comfortable rides on the market. We mentioned the incredible Nappa leather interior details of the Pinnacle trim already, but even other trims provide you with sophisticated style and comfort. The Touring L trim comes with leatherette-trimmed seats, while the Touring has premium cloth-trimmed seats that can take some abuse and keep looking great. Combine that with a tremendous amount of space inside for you and your passengers to stretch out, and you have something special.
The tech features of the Chrysler Pacifica are equally impressive, starting with a gorgeous 10.1-inch infotainment display that’s easy to use, especially with wireless support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Alexa Built-In makes it easy to use Amazon features with your 2024 Pacifica, so you can start your vehicle, adjust its interior comfort settings, and even send information to your navigation system through your other Alexa-enabled devices.
An available rear-seat entertainment system with Amazon Fire TV is a great way to keep passengers entertained on long road trips, while a stunning Harman Kardon premium sound system fills the cabin with incredible audio thanks to nineteen speakers and a ten-inch subwoofer.
Advanced Safety for You and Your Family
No matter what kind of vehicle you’re looking at, nothing is more important than how well it helps keep you safe on the road. This is arguably even more vital when you’re considering a large vehicle for your family, like the 2024 Pacifica.
Fortunately, Chrysler understands this, and the Pacifica comes with a fantastic selection of standard safety technology, including a Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, and a Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking System. You also get a LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist, a Blind Spot Monitoring System, ParkSense Rear Park Assist, and Rear Cross Path Detection that helps make it easier to safely back out of parking spots and navigate tight spaces.
If you’re interested in taking things even further, then Chrysler offers a number of additional options to enhance the safety of your family. An available 360-degree Surround View Camera, for example, gives you a virtual view of your vehicle while maneuvering at low speeds. You can get ParkSense Front Park Assist to make it easier to safely pull into a parking spot, while Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist can handle steering for you while getting into a tight parking space. While none of these tools can replace careful driving, they can make it a lot easier to stay safe on the road and protect your loved ones.
Ready to Get Excited About a Minivan?
We know that minivans haven’t historically been the most exciting vehicles, but this one’s different. You deserve a great car that you’re excited to drive, especially if it’s a practical minivan that provides you and your family with an enjoyable means of transportation.
Whether you’re interested in going more than 500 miles from a full tank of gas with the Pacifica PHEV model, or you like the advanced entertainment and safety tech that’s available, this is a minivan that redefines what we expect in a family vehicle—so it’s easy to see why so many people are thrilled to experience everything the Pacifica has to offer!
