Friendly Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram
One of the most popular minivans on the market, the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica comes onto the scene with refreshed styling, updated technology, and an extensive list of features.
Our neighbors in Penn Yan, Geneva, and Watkins Glen can learn more about the versatile minivan with our 2021 Chrysler Pacifica review from Friendly Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram.
The Pacifica comes standard with a 3.6-liter V6 engine pushing 287 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque and paired to a nine-speed automatic transmission. This engine delivers reliable power for daily driving and highway passing and merging.
Among the Pacifica's best aspects is its quiet ride, which is perfect for families with children. The minivan glides over broken pavement and potholes without disrupting passengers, and you won’t feel body roll going around turns or curves. The minivan is also available in all-wheel drive for confidence in snow or other severe weather conditions. The Pacifica is able to tow up to 3,600 pounds when properly equipped.
The 2021 Pacifica offers three rows of seats with space for eight people in its standard configuration. If you swap out the bench for captain’s chairs in the second row, the capacity is seven people. Cloth upholstery comes standard, but you can upgrade to leather or premium Nappa leather as well as heated and ventilated seats. Regardless of seating position, adults enjoy ample headroom and legroom and comfortable seats with support and cushioning for long-distance drives.
In the cargo hold, the Pacifica has 32.3 cubic feet of storage, which bumps up to 87.5 cubic feet with the third-row seats folded. With both rear rows folded, maximum cargo capacity is 140.5 cubic feet. Plenty of features are available to enhance the cargo versatility, including Stow ‘n Go® seating for the third row, which folds down into the floor for quick cargo loading, a power liftgate, and a hands-free power liftgate.
The Pacifica is equipped with the popular Uconnect infotainment system with a 10.1-inch touchscreen, which is one of the best on the market and boasts a straightforward interface and responsive inputs on the screen. Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® smartphone integration is included, giving you the option to play music or other media from your cellphone to the vehicle’s onboard system. Optional features include navigation, premium sound systems, an overhead DVD player, and a rear-seat entertainment system to keep the kids occupied on the drive.
As a vehicle geared toward families, the Pacifica includes many desirable safety features right from the base model, such as parking sensors, a rearview camera, and automatic emergency braking. You’ll also get blind-spot monitoring, a feature that alerts you to vehicles or pedestrians around your vehicle when merging, passing, or reversing, and automatic high-beam headlights, which turn on automatically in low-light scenarios. A surround-view camera system and numerous additional parking sensors are optional.
Boasting a range of family-friendly features for entertainment, convenience, and safety, the Pacifica is one of the best choices for a minivan.
