2021 CHRYSLER PACIFICA HYBRID PHEV PINNACLE REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Pinnacle is reviewed as the sole plug-in hybrid minivan available in North America, making it a standout choice for families. The reviewer highlights its practical design, spacious and comfortable interior with premium quilted leather in the Pinnacle trim, and significant cargo capacity. Key advantages include its unique PHEV status, potential for substantial fuel cost savings (estimated at $3,500-$4,000 USD over five years), and eligibility for government incentives that bring its price close to the gasoline-only version. The reviewer also praises its Canadian manufacturing. However, cons include the loss of the second-row Stow 'n Go feature due to the battery pack, the absence of an all-wheel-drive option for the PHEV, and a desire for a larger battery for extended electric range. The reviewer ultimately recommends the Pacifica Hybrid for its financial sense, environmental benefits when driven in EV mode, and its overall practicality as a family vehicle.
