**2024 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid Review**

The 2024 Chrysler Pacifica plug-in hybrid is an exciting addition to the minivan market, offering a unique combination of power, range, and practicality. This model uses the same 3.6L V6 engine as its non-hybrid counterparts, but adds a pair of electric motors and a 16 KW hour battery pack, resulting in a significant increase in driving range.

The Pacifica plug-in hybrid can deliver up to 33 miles of pure electric driving, with a total driving range of around 520 miles when the battery is topped up and the gas tank is full. This makes it an attractive option for families who need to combine the benefits of a large minivan with the efficiency of an electric vehicle. All models of the Pacifica come equipped with rain-sensing front wipers, adaptive cruise control, and three-zone climate control.

The base model, called the Pacifica Touring, starts at $4,995 and is available in white or black, with silver blue or red being optional colors that require a small additional charge. It features 17-inch aluminum wheels, LED lighting all around, a powered sliding door, and rear liftgate. The front seats and steering wheel are heated, and the 10.1-inch center screen is powered by UK Connect 5, which offers Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Even in its base form, the Pacifica Touring also delivers the Stow 'n Go functionality in the second and third rows, as well as floor storage bins in the second row. The only free colors available are white or black, so buyers will need to pay a little extra for silver blue or red options.

For those looking to upgrade, the Pacifica Touring L is available with all-wheel drive, which also bumps up the size of the wheels to 18 inches. Standard features include the Super Console in the second row, leatherette seating trim instead of cloth, and the Road Tripper package as an option. This adds 20-inch wheels, Granite trim bits inside and out, and a towing setup with wiring for a seven- or four-pin connector, stronger radiator, two-inch hitch, and trailer sway damping.

The Pacifica Touring L starts at $43,124 for front-wheel drive models, which is a significant jump from the base model. However, buyers can also add on the Road Tripper package for an additional $295 to get 20-inch wheels, Granite trim bits, and the towing setup. The next level up is the Pacifica Limited, which adds upgrades such as Nappa leather interior, power-adjustable passenger seat, ventilation in the front row, heated seats in both rows, a wireless smartphone charger, and a UK Connect Theater setup with an interior cabin camera.

The Pacifica Limited starts at $52,750 for the hybrid version and offers a more comprehensive list of features, including the Stow 'n Go functionality in the second and third rows, floor storage bins in the second row, hands-free power sliding doors, and a rear liftgate. The exterior trim is also upgraded with gloss black accents on the outside and body-colored side mirrors.

For buyers who want to take their Pacifica to the extreme, there's the Pinnacle model available as either a gas-only or plug-in hybrid option in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive configurations. This top-of-the-line model features hands-free power sliding doors and a rear liftgate, 20-inch wheels on the gas models or 18-inch wheels on the hybrid, heated front and second rows, a Harmon Kardon sound system, and the UK Connect Theater setup.

The starting price of the Pinnacle in its plug-in hybrid configuration is $61,900, which is significantly higher than the base model. However, for those who want to drive their minivan without worrying about range anxiety, the plug-in hybrid's impressive electric driving capabilities make it a compelling option.

Road Tripper or premium s versions each iteration is basically a styling upgrade over the others the select has 17-in wheels s appearance and Road Trippers get 18s s appearance models also get some gloss black trim on the outside and bodyc colored side mirrors the road Tripper gets that trailer tow upgrade instead of a second row bench you have Captain's chairs and of course you get that amazing driving range I mentioned earlier the starting price of the Chrysler Pacifica plug-in hybrid select is $52,750 but do be aware that there could be credits and incentives available to bring that price down a bit next we move to the top spec Pinnacle this is offered as a gas only model in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive or as the front-wheel drive only phv it's extremely well equipped with hands-free power sliding doors and a rear liftgate 20-in Wheels on the gas models or 18s on the hybrid heated front and second rows ventilated front seats A Harmon Cardon sound system and the UK connect theater setup the seat trim is quilted in apple leather and the exterior trim adds a splash of chrome the only real option to choose here is if you go with the gas only model to decide between front or all-wheel drive and whether to add the trailer tow package otherwise the starting price of the front-wheel drive gas Pacifica Pinnacle is $555,500 the hybrid jumps up quite a bit with a price tag of $61,900 so which one should you buy that driving range on the hybrid is eye openening but the power and price of the non-hybrids may be a better buy unless you can plug this one in at home so I say go with the touring L but also add in the UK connect theater option that way all the little ones riding in the back will be happy you'll be happy they have noise cancelling headphones on and you'll also be happy to keep this thing well under the $50,000 mark hlet's face facts here if you want to move four or more people with ease and comfort the best option is a minivan I know I know it's
