What Is the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica?
The Chrysler Pacifica is a seven- or eight-seat minivan motivated by a 287-horsepower, 3.6-liter V-6 engine and paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. It can be had with front- or all-wheel drive. Also available is a Pacifica Hybrid version, which features a plug-in hybrid drivetrain that delivers up to 32 miles of EPA-estimated electric-only driving. Keep in mind, however, that the Pacifica Hybrid is front-wheel drive only. Competing minivans include the Honda Odyssey, Kia Carnival and Toyota Sienna.
Interior space is important to minivan shoppers, and the Pacifica has 41.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind its second row and 17.6 cubic feet behind its third row, according to Cars.com’s cargo measurements. You can learn how the Pacifica scored in our Car Seat Check by clicking here.

Should I Buy the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica?
SUVs have become the default choice for many car shoppers looking for lots of space for both passengers and cargo. Yet unlike many SUVs, the Pacifica has adult-friendly space in all three rows, and its available Stow ’n Go fold-flat second-row seats are incredibly convenient when toting bulky cargo. Optional AWD is another bonus. While it’s pricey, the Pacifica Hybrid has up to 32 miles of electric driving range — and it remains eligible for up to $7,500 in federal tax credits.
