The Chrysler Pacifica Pinnacle PHEV brings all of the minivan magic to Grasso’s Garage this week.

Chrysler has put all of its energy into the Pacifica, a seven-passenger minivan, after the idea of going all electric seems to have been stopped in its tracks by policy changes from the White House.

Powered by a 3.6-liter V-6 plug-in hybrid engine providing 32 miles on pure electric charge and over 520 miles of total range, the Pacifica Pinnacle is top of the class.

Our tester, painted in Red Hot Pearl and sporting 18-inch wheels, certainly stood out in the crowd. On the interior, the 2026 Chrysler Pacifica Pinnacle PHEV boasts tons of storage space and comfort for people moving, to say nothing of its great infotainment system: the UConnect 5 with navigation and a 10.1-inch touch-screen display. Did I mention all of the standard technology the Pacifica has to offer? It includes Apple CarPlay, Google Android Auto, UConnect Theatre, Amazon Fire TV built-in, FamCam interior camera and Wi-Fi- hot spot.

With easy-slide second-row bucket seats that set it apart from the competition, the Pacifica delivers top-notch comfort and safety for passengers. Safety features include ParkSense front and rear park-assist, 360 surround-view camera system, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning and pedestrian emergency braking. These items show the consumer that Stellantis, Chrysler’s parent company, is committed to delivering excellence in every avenue of the experience.

As a minivan fan, I felt the Pacifica hybrid held up through everyday use, and its storage and comfort stood out. Its PHEV and 30+ miles of pure electric charge make the Chrysler Pacifica Pinnacle PHEV the way to ride around town, go to work or even to the baseball field for an afternoon practice with the kids.
