Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid

The Pacifica minivan is offered in seven- and eight-passenger configurations, and it is distinguished by handy fold-into-the-floor second-row seats except. Unfortunately, this feature is unavailable in the plug-in hybrid version. The good news is that the plug-in hybrid has an electric range of about 30 miles. Once past those initial electric miles, it gets 27 mpg when operating as a regular hybrid. The regular model gets a 3.6-liter V6 engine paired with a nine-speed automatic, which provides plenty of power and gets a decent 21 mpg overall. All-wheel drive is available except in the plug-in hybrid version. Handling is responsive, the ride is comfortable, and the cabin is quiet. The Pacifica uses the Uconnect infotainment system--one of the best available. Standard active safety equipment includes FCW, AEB with pedestrian detection, BSW, and RCTW.
