2021 Chrysler Pacifica AWD Pinnacle Review - MORE LUXURIOUS THAN AN SUV!

Any current owners have major issues with the Pacifica? Specially around electronics and engine stalling?

This is currently the only American minivan in production. It is also the only minivan on the American market to be offered with traditional AWD as the only other such vehicle, the Toyota Sienna has the rear wheels powered only by an electric motor. So if you want an American minivan with AWD then you’re in luck because it’s easy to decide which model to choose since the options are limited.

Don't have kids or family but love this thing

The Pentastar engine is made by Stellantis (based in Netherlands). I am not surprised to see the reliability and power of this motor.

People who are against Minivans value how strangers perceive them over the comfort of their families.

Only if the exterior wasn't so damn ugly

I’d be nice to see a Toyota Sienna straight pipe style

I fucking need this but my wallet is empty 💀

I’d this had a turbocharged V6 or a V8 in a sport edition would more black and less chrome I would totally buy this.

I am a child of the seventies and vans used to RULE back in the day. Likely for all of the reasons that SUVs rule today…high riding height, space, and versatility. Plus you could customize the heck out of them.

The Pacifica has styling, luxury, everything you need… except power.

I grew up in a mini-van...
Yeah, I had a good time in a mini-van...
ME: My kids were made in a mini-van!🤣

Actually the pentastar has variable valve timing which works similar to vtec

Riding around in the Pacifica. Quick! Evasive maneuvers! 🤣🤣

If only this thing had SUV/truck towing capabilities.

Mine only has 6k miles on it, then I got the “service battery at dealer” message and it won’t start. I had it towed to the dealer, and they’ve had it for a week and can’t fix it - they said they don’t know what’s wrong? What are my options? I’m shocked - this is a 2021 50k+ vehicle with just 6k miles!! Even more frustrating - they don’t have a rental car available which is part of the warranty agreement! Someone please help!

I dislike SUV, neither sporty nor utilitarian, love wagons, really like minivans and also love trucks although I can neither afford or need a truck. I own/lease 3 vehicles, lease my daily driver a sedan/hatchback(ioniq plug-in), lease my wife's daily driver a suv (Jeep Compass), and own our(family, because when my girls cars break down, they borrow it) 2010 Chrysler T&C. I like my ioniq but if I'm driving anywhere close to long distance, I love my minivan more than the ioniq or compass, both good vehicles for trips just not as good. My wife was very anti-minivan but now that we've owned one for a few years(2006 before the 2010) she has come around.

When it's raining on your sunroof...maybe close the shade/cover to silent the rain smacking the glass! 😁

Id still get a sienna

Its basically just a disguised dodge caravan ahaha

It's just cheap material and will keep u in a shop Chrysler depreciating junk

In Chin, minivans are called business cars and they're associated with well... business people.

I never thought I’d see the day where a minivan looks like a cool car!

Wish they added AWD to the Plug-in hybrid.

Why don't the middle seats stow and go?

I would get this Pacifica immediately if it had at least 5.7 HEMI in it and/or 8 speed transmission. Money in hands. Otherwise need to wait when All-EV minivan with 100 kWh battery pack is released

bias towards Chrysler

Pacifica is the best minivan I have a GLS in NJ and I have Pacifica when I am in Miami Frankly I am always thinking why I am paying three times over for GLS ?!!

Maybe hit that bad boy with a vacuum and a wet nap? Lol

I love wagons

Test the RAM Promaster City!

Does this same trim come in hybrid with more torque?

Put it into AWD drive, we’re gonna go ahead and put it in AWD for ya

So nobody is going to talk about Yuri’s shirt…









Ok.

There is a software update that fixed the tail gate issue.

Just turn on that Wipers and launch it

MiniVans are the most practical vehicles Period

Now I want all the minivans to have luxury brand counterparts. A Lexus sienna could be so sick.

Excellent review but I take issue with your interior color comments. It is gross! Why not a rich grey?
I guess the poop orange is in.

Mini pipes? 🤣

I drove a 2017 Sienna Limited V6 for 8 months for work between San Diego and Houston and I loved it. Tbh my homies laughed at me initially but after realizing it had a blu-ray player and two huge screens in the 2nd & 3rd rows w/ leather and two huge sun roofs it was actually a player vehicle. Great for hot boxing💨. It was also a MILF magnet 😂.

So, I’d go minivan again if I HAD to and be happy with it if it’s nicely equipped and as quick as the Sienna.

When i was in high school i drove around my parents' 97 ford windstar, and as epically lame as it looked, it was comfy and nice to be able to drive a bunch of friends around in. When the time comes, if a minivan is what makes sense, ill just make sure its comfy and had a bumpin sound system.

The 2020 Pacifica was a very rough ride down south. The heated seats alone just cook booty cheeks. I don’t trust it

Is the launch better with the wipers on?

That's the one thing I love about Chrysler/Stellantis, they never stop innovating. That's the most seamless integration of a display screen on the seats of any vehicle save the pop-up screen on the Escalade. The only thing it lacks is that supercharged HEMI. jk...not kidding.

One of these murdered out with a black roof rack cargo hold would be amazing.

Just unreliable to me i think new kia carnival better

For a second I thought his shirt said pornhub

RENO 911 😂 best show back then. Now, Its Always Sunny in Philly. But nice van, deff would be my choice, the sporty looking one, awd.

I know a family whom drove their baby around in a 2010 Toyota Yaris hatchback. They still have it! I did not want a SUV. Purchased a 2020 Forte5 GT for its interior & cargo space. Hopefully, in a couple years I'd be able to fit a stroller & more. If not, I'd want a van (KIA Carnival/Chrysler Pacifica) or a wagon (Subaru Outback). Pacifica for its Stow 'n Go. All options will be great for camping.
