The 2021 Chrysler Pacifica: This Summer’s Best Family Car

 

Summer is gearing up, and so is travel! With restrictions lessening, that itch to get out is finally able to be scratched. But where will you go? The trip is just as important as the destination (sometimes more so), so there is no excuse to travel without modern perks like LED lights streaming throughout your interior, and an array of hands-free capabilities such as sliding doors and high-definition touchscreens in your second row. Might as well throw in an integrated vacuum system and a tri-pane panoramic sunroof. These are only a few of the impressive features of the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica. 

The 2021 Chrysler Pacifica is the definitive modern family van. It's comfortable, powerful, and sporty. Yes, I said sporty. Not a usual descriptor for a minivan. But, the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica isn’t your usual minivan. And this break from the minivan mold is exactly what makes the all-new Pacifica your best option for family road trips.  

The Chrysler Pacifica’s cool new design is expertly laid out for optimum comfort. Its long body takes on a shape similar to that of a sporty SUV. Only the Pacifica sits lower to the ground. This allows for easy access and plenty of room from the front of the cabin, all the way back to the trunk. And the dual-panel moonroof over the second row, and fixed panel moonroof over the third row, provides natural lighting and a better view for the entire family. 

Inside its roomy cabin, the second-row adjustable seats bend forward and back with Chrysler's "Easy Tilt." This makes it so children and adults alike can pile in and out without hassle during those bathroom breaks. There are also built-in sunshades and body-colored heated mirrors…there’s simply too much to list with the Pacifica. Chrysler has always intended for the crossover to serve as a luxury family vehicle—and that is exactly what it has become. With refined features, elegant design, and top-of-the-line technology, the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica is an innovative leader, an outlier among its peers. 

The all-new Pacifica not only looks and feels great, but it saves you money as well. The Chrysler Pacifica comes with an optional plug-in hybrid drivetrain, which provides up to 30 miles of electric-only power before the V-6 engine takes over. With just two hours of charge time, you are back on the road. Whether or not you opt for the hybrid version, the Pacifica is sure to give you and your family the smoothest ride possible in a minivan. 

 

Why You and Yours Should Travel in the Chrysler Pacifica

Innovative Safety and Storage. A bonus to the cantilevered seats is that easily move and adjust, is that there is extra space for storage. It’s perfect for a small suitcase, a sack of diapers, and even small groceries.

Tons of Latch Anchors. It is so annoying when attempting to install a car seat (or multiple car seats) and there are only a few places made to hold it. Most vehicles, including minivans, usually only have two or three seats equipped to hold a child’s seat, but the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica has up to five seating positions for a car seat, which means you can pretty much fit your child just about anywhere you want. The second row, the third row, doesn't matter. The Pacifica is all about making things better and easier, especially for those driving with multiple passengers.

Easy Cleaning. There is a vacuum cleaner built into the new Pacifica. Yeah, the Honda Odyssey came out with this idea as well, but it’s placed way in the back and is difficult to access. The Pacifica’s Stow & Vac system is placed right in the second row. This is a smart move since the second row is where most traffic comes and goes, especially on road trips. Keeping it clean makes the trip all the better. 

Stow & Go Assist Makes Things Easy. Chrysler’s Stow & Go enables all seats in the back to fold down completely into the floor of the van. Gone are the days of having to lift the seats out of the minivan so you can haul furniture. Now, it’s simple. The front seats even move forward automatically while the back ones are being folded in. Then, like magic, the front seats resume to their previous position.

 

Reasons Why You Need Chrysler Pacifica 

1. It Comes as a Hybrid. This hybrid works so well you won't even know when it's operating from gas or electric power. As the Pacifica cruises down the road, it seamlessly switches to gas once the electric energy has been depleted. And charging it is pretty simple too. Simply plug it in when you aren't driving, and when you are ready to run to the store, unplug and zoom away. This gives Chrysler a huge edge on the minivan market and saves you tons of money in the process. Fewer trips to the gas station always make for a better driving experience.
2. Second Row Adjustable Seats. Sure, just about every modern vehicle has adjustable seats, even in the back. But have you seen any that bend forward when holding a car seat? Probably not, since Chrysler is only one of three other companies to offer this nifty little bonus. Chrysler's "Easy Tilt" rear bucket seats easily bend forward so children and adults alike can pile in and out without hassle. Imagine, no more stubbed toes or bruised knees when trying to move from the second to the third row. This little benefit is actually quite big.
3. Hands-Free Capabilities. What’s one of the most frustrating things about traveling with the kids? You see it all the time: a parent holding a child in one hand, bags of diapers or clothes in the other, fumbling to open the door to the vehicle before everything falls apart. Some car companies have created a back hatch that opens with the push of a button or swipe of a foot. This is nice, but the 2021 Pacifica takes it a step further by introducing self-opening sliding doors. That’s right, just hover your foot under the sliding door, and it magically opens on its own accord—the same goes for the back hatch!
4. Equal Comfort Levels Throughout. Go ahead and try to find the most comfortable spot in the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica. As much as you move around, the only thing you’ll find is that each seat is just as plush and roomy and the next one. Typically, in minivans, it's the third-row seating that causes the most problems. Passengers are squished in the back with tiny seats that are hard, rigid, and just plain uncomfortable. But not in the all-new Pacifica. Now you have plenty of room, plus third-row passengers get their own USB ports and cup holders. Whereas before no one wanted to sit in the very back, now your family and friends will be racing each other for that third row.
5. Entertainment For Everyone. Chrysler includes its UCONNECT Theater system in the new Pacifica, and this means fun for everyone inside. There are two touchscreens fully equipped with games, apps, and a Blu-ray/DVD player. And what’s wonderful about UCONNECT is that it allows parents to control what the kids in the back are watching by including a “listen in” feature that, with a push of a button, shows on the front screen whatever is being watched or played in the back. Why doesn’t every vehicle have this?! Just another example of why the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica is the minivan to beat.
6. True Luxury Means Authentic Materials. Rather than the faux wood paneling and cheap plastic pieces found in most other minivans, the 2021 Pacifica holds to its luxury roots. Look as long as you like, you won’t find one piece of cheap material. From the thick leather seats to the soft-touch surfaces throughout, everything feels of true substance. This means you have the luxury now, and you will have it years later as well. Doesn’t sound much like a minivan, does it? That’s because the new Pacifica is a minivan in name only. Everything else is all about breaking the mold.
