History
The Chrysler Pacifica was introduced in 2004 as a mid-size crossover, combining elements of a minivan and an SUV. However, due to lower-than-expected sales and reliability issues, its production was discontinued in 2008. In 2016, Chrysler revived the Pacifica name for a new minivan, replacing the Chrysler Town & Country. This new version was praised for its modern design and innovative features, including the Stow 'n Go® seating system, allowing seats to fold into the floor to maximize cargo space. In 2017, Chrysler also launched the plug-in hybrid version of the Pacifica, offering an electric range of 32 miles and a total range of 520 miles, making it the first plug-in hybrid minivan in the U.S. (chrysler.com) In 2021, the Pacifica was updated with a new exterior design, the addition of all-wheel drive (AWD) for combustion engine models, and the introduction of the Uconnect 5 infotainment system with a 10.1-inch touchscreen.
