Chrysler Pacifica 2017 Commercial Limited Review
This year Chrysler completely revamped its minivan line up, with every aspect of the people-mover, including the name, all-new. The 2017 Chrysler Pacifica. It is easily the biggest forward leap in the history of this segment. Its list of "minivan first" features is numerous and impressive.
Innovation is prized in minivans, and by the team’s accounting, Chrysler has rolled out 78 minivan firsts in its first five generations. This one reportedly introduces 37 more, the most jumbo of which is an 80-mpg plug-in hybrid variant (see Hybrid sidebar). Another is a redesign that allows the Stow ’n Go center-row seats to be tipped forward with a child seat attached, so big sister can more easily crawl in behind belted-in baby brother.
Available in LX, Touring, Touring L, Touring L Plus, and Limited trim levels, every 2017 Pacifica comes with front-wheel drive, a 3.6-liter V-6 engine, and the unparalleled practicality inherent in a minivan.
The Pacifica earned the necessary scores of good in all five IIHS crash tests, including small and moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint evaluations. It also earned a superior rating for its optional front crash prevention system, which avoided collisions during testing at 12 mph and 25 mph; systems must earn an advanced or superior rating for the Plus designation.
