Well Equipped Beautiful Vehicle

Beautiful interior and a load of features! Seats are comfortable, I’m excited to get new floor mats to attempt to keep the interior as nice as possible, may be challenging with a 16 year old and 10 month twins!

Gone Green

This van is very comfortable and has been a delight to drive. I owned a Town and Country before this one. The only thing the Pacifica needs is the storage console like the old Town and Country had. There isn't enough convenient storage

Love it!

My only hang up is the front wheel drive. This is an adult car primarily used to drive children around and it should have an AWD option for snowy states. Oh and a heated steering wheel!!

I am so excited to see how this car turns out.

I have researched in this car for two years I am excited to see how it performs and how much we save yearly on gas as well as weekly. I like the fact that I was able to get over 200 miles on 1/8 a tank of gas as well as get myPG so far to 25.4. I have not finished my first tank of gas so we shall see. So far definitely worth the investment.

Would like a longer electric range, but good van.

It meets my needs, is comfortable, and allows me to transport my family as well. I also enjoy the fact that I can get at least 980 miles worth of total travel on a single tank of gas by charging it nightly and having to only purchase gas once a month.

The most futuristic car I ever owned. Great value!

We bought this car because we do a lot of short trips where our regular, non-hybrid cars would get terrible gas mileage, so we thought the 33 miles of electric only would be perfect. And it is. Most days, we don't even use gasoline engine at all and stay in pure electric mode. The vehicle is quiet, smooth and offers great versatility and visibility. Since it is a Limited version, I particularly enjoy the dynamic cruise control and lane departure assistance, where the car literally keeps itself in your lane. Now, with lower temperatures, the battery only driving is good for about 23 miles while using the heater, but even when gas motor kicks in, gas mileage is impressive for such a large vehicle.

Absolutely love it

Loved the option for a hybrid and the entertainment. Not sure about the reliability yet as we have only owned it one month. we have averaged 30.5 mpg over 2000 miles though.

Great way to get space and fuel economy.

The Pacifica Hybrid blends all-electric local driving with unlimited internal combustion engine range in a vehicle big enough to seat seven and take brush to the composting facility. Its safety features include adaptive cruise control with autonomous braking which is amazing, and a lane departure system that gently pulls you back into your lane unless you choose to override it with an easy turn of the wheel. My only criticism is a navigation system that sometimes takes us out of our way and has stopped auditory directions; otherwise, this is a perfect car!

Still exploring cost vs value and reliability

After about 200 miles of driving, the seats begin to feel uncomfortable. The storage compartments available to the driver in the door and console could be made easier to reach and more spacious. I miss the extra space and cup holders available in the Odyssey. As per the actual mileage per gallon, I am still evaluating the benefits of the hybrid. I really miss the fold away second row seats. Plugging in the car where available can be a challenge and I have not figured out the cost for electricity to charge this car. At home on 110, it actually takes 14 hours for a full charge. At a level 2 charging station operated by ChargePoint, , it usually takes me no less than 4 hours. The amount of kWh delivered at a Chargepoint station varies based on the battery level and if the port is being shared by another vehicle. The cost at a chargepoint Station is based on the agreement set up between Chargepoint and the owner of the location where it is installed. I have seen if offered for free (casino), by the Kwh and by the hour with a minimum cost per charge. Finding an open plugin station can be challenging. An app tells you the location of stations and if a station is being used but it does not tell you if the parking spot is accessible or if the station is in working order. Since a full charge only gives you a max of 33 miles (one gallon of gas). How much do you really save (and give up) by owning this hybrid vehicle? If I can keep my total miles driven per day under 33 and charge it at home every night for a cost of (?) , maybe I will achieve a savings that will offset the cost of this vehicle over a period of ? Years. During my first single charge commute from NY to FL, I averaged about 28 MPG

Over 20,000 miles since Christmas and No Worries

This is our second Chrysler in 16 years of continuous minivan ownership. The improvements since we first bought our T and C Limited in 2002 are impressive and many. Our Pacifica is loaded and more. Sometimes get plus 100 miles per gallon depending on what our plans. Use it everyday and do not miss filling up. Frequently take it on 1000 mile trips and still get greater than 32 mpg. A very special and comfortable car. Nothing to complain about.
