2017 Chrysler Pacifica

Chrysler will debut its new 2017 Chrysler Pacifica and we can’t wait.  It is one thing when an existing vehicle gets an overhaul and makeover but when they add an entirely new vehicle to the lineup, it makes us downright giddy.

It’s the first minivan on the U.S. market to get a plug-in hybrid version, the Pacifica Hybrid, which will offer 30 miles of pure electric driving on a charge. The Grand Caravan and its sliding side doors on the way out, to be replaced this next year by a model that’s expected to offer comparable three-row seating and space but characteristically brawnier Dodge styling and hinged rear doors.  It’s going to be ultimately the only minivan in the portfolio, going head-to-head against a long list of mainstream competitors,” said Tim Kuniskis, the North American head of passenger-car brands for Dodge, SRT, Chrysler, and Fiat. “So making sure we had all the right package and content, and being able to price this vehicle... you’ll see that we’ll be lined up well against our competitors in the segment.”

Kiniskis says that the team wanted to overcome the “mental image of a minivan,” and decided on the name change from Town & Country to Pacifica “because as we moved through the development of the vehicle we realized that this is a complete, revolutionary change.”  It was entirely developed by Chrysler’s U.S. engineering team, with scalability and the easy addition of all-wheel drive in mind, and it can apply to cars, vans, or SUVs, down to compact (D) size.
