2021 CHRYSLER PACIFICA HYBRID: THIS UPDATED VAN WILL MAKE YOU FORGET SUVS!

EV Channels Review

The 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid receives a comprehensive refresh, solidifying its position as a stylish and practical minivan. The reviewer highlights the updated exterior styling, particularly the new LED headlights and taillights, and praises the interior's premium materials and soft-touch surfaces. A significant upgrade is the new Uconnect 5 system with a 10.1-inch display, offering wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The reviewer is particularly impressed with the plug-in hybrid powertrain, noting its smooth operation, quietness, and the ability to run on electric power for a significant portion of a commute, calling it a "slam dunk" and a unique offering in the segment. The spacious and comfortable third row, along with the dual rear-seat entertainment screens, are also noted as strong points. The "air ball" is the lack of a standard moonroof on this $46,000 model, though the reviewer acknowledges the significant impact of the $7,500 federal tax credit, which makes the hybrid version very competitively priced, often more so than the standard gasoline model. Overall, the Pacifica Hybrid is presented as a refined, well-thought-out, and compelling choice in the minivan market.
