Eric's Autos: 2024 Chrysler Pacifica
The only minivan available in plug-in hybrid configuration.
Slightly higher maximum tow rating (3,600 pounds) than other minivans.
What's Not So Good
Expensive relative to rivals such as the Kia Carnival (which stickers for just $33,600 to start).
If you want the hybrid, you lose the Stow 'n Go second row -- as well as the ability to tow anything.
If Chrysler closes shop, the Pacifica will be orphaned.
Under The Hood
The Pacifica comes standard with a 3.6-liter V6 that makes 287 horsepower. It's paired up with a nine-speed automatic transmission and FWD.
AWD is available optionally.
Rival vans such as the Kia Carnival and Honda Odyssey also come standard with V6 engines (3.5 liters and 290 and 280 horsepower, respectively).
