8 Things Drivers Love About the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid

March 5th, 2024 by

Chrysler first popularized the minivan nationwide. Now, this pioneering automaker is proud to offer the only plug-in hybrid minivan in America. The 2024 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid gets you and your family where you want to go.

Premium Interior for Active Families

With third-row seating, the Pacifica can seat up to seven, and it does so with the proven safety and practical reliability of a minivan. Slide the side doors out fully, something you can’t do in an SUV, to discover the Pacifica’s new premium interior. The heated front seats and heated steering wheel keep you cozy, while a soft-touch instrument panel and stitched accents make you feel right at home.

Even with all of this upgraded comfort, the Pacifica Hybrid is still ready for your active family lifestyle. There’s ample space and plenty of cupholders, slide-out bins, and hooks to store your food & snacks, hockey equipment, camping gear, or luggage.

Smooth and Quiet Ride

This minivan can do everything, and the ability to configure its seating to your liking is what makes it so conveniently versatile. For times you’re ferrying along a whole party, Second-Row Easy Tilt Seating makes climbing into and out of the third row a breeze. When you need to load and unload, the power liftgate and available hands-free power sliding side doors make it a cinch.

If you’re wondering about cargo room, don’t forget that Chrysler invented Stow ‘n Go seating. Unlike other vans that require you to remove seats for more capacity, the Pacifica features seats that fold neatly into the floor: yes, both second and third rows. When they lie flat, the Pacifica blows away the competition with 140.5 cubic feet of cargo space.

Maximum Cargo Flexibility

On the road, the Pacifica lives up to its namesake. You’ll marvel at how peaceful the cabin is, especially when your hybrid engine is operating in its quiet all-electric mode. A nine-speed automatic transmission and tuned suspension also contribute to a smooth ride.

If you want to become a true believer, test drive a 2024 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid at your local dealer. You’ll notice how it rides and handles more like a sedan than a passenger van. It has great maneuverability aided by relaxed steering, and when you round corners, it minimizes body roll to make turning feel like a stroll in the park.

Top Safety Features

Chrysler understands that your family’s safety is your number one priority. That’s why the Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid comes standard with innovative life-saving technologies. These include:

  • Automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection
  • Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert
  • Lane-departure warning with lane-keep assist
  • Rearview camera and rear parking sensors
  • Rear-seat alert for kids

Fantastic Range for Daily Commutes and Road Trips

Perhaps you want to go green, but you’re not sure a fully electric vehicle can do the job. The 2024 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid answers this concern by giving you the best of both worlds. That’s why it’s been shortlisted as a plug-in hybrid that will get you addicted to driving electric. When fully charged, this vehicle can drive in all-electric mode for a range of 32 miles.

When the battery’s depleted, however, you won’t be stranded. The Pacifica switches seamlessly to gas-electric operation, where it employs technologies like regenerative braking to reduce fuel consumption. Family road trips are welcome because when the Pacifica is fully charged and has a full tank of gas, it reaches an incredible range of 520 miles. If you can’t picture how far that is, imagine driving all the way from Chicago to Nashville without stopping for a fill-up.

Fuel Efficiency

Chrysler is committed to clean technology for a new generation of families. That’s why the Pacifica Hybrid’s traditional 3.6-liter V6 engine is assisted by 2 electric motors and a 16-kWh battery pack. These components work together beautifully to reach a fuel efficiency of 84 MPGe combined. Compare that to what you get from a conventional SUV, and it’s not even close.

What makes this possible on the Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid is a built-in charger that quickly replenishes its PHEV battery. Plug your minivan in overnight to a regular household outlet, and its all-electric mode will be ready for a gas-free commute the next morning. Or, if you want to see how far EV technology has truly come, install the available Level 2 charger, and it’ll be topped up in just a little over two hours.

Uconnect Infotainment System

The Pacifica Hybrid’s electrical framework enables it to be the most technologically advanced minivan in its class. Enjoy an expansive 10-inch screen with hands-free voice command. When you want to charge your smart devices, connect them to USB ports located throughout the cabin. If you don’t feel like using a cable, link your phone to your car’s infotainment system using wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto capability.

To keep an eye on the kiddos without having eyes in the back of your head, turn on the available FamCAM. Its automatic day/night modes and split-view screen show you the backseat on your dash. Or, keep your passengers entertained with the available rear-seat dual touchscreens that they can watch movies and TV on using their favorite streaming apps.

Generous Tax Credits

Did you know that plug-in hybrids also qualify for the federal EV tax credit? This means you can get up to $7,500 back on your Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid. If you want an even better deal, there might be multiple state tax credits that you can claim on top of the federal one. Be aware that these credits can change every year due to legislation, so take advantage of them now while you still can.
