In March, CNET declared the 2020 Chrysler Pacifica the best minivan money can buy. It’s an excellent choice for families of all sizes. Take a closer look at the features that make the 2020 Pacifica such a stellar vehicle for you and your clan.
1. Plenty of Space for Family and Essentials
Families rarely travel light. Once your kids come along, outings without them become distant memories. You’ll find you’re carrying more, too, including more groceries and more luggage. That’s why Chrysler maximizes passenger and storage space. The Pacifica’s three-row, seven-seat design isn’t unusual for this class. However, the Stow ‘N Go seats in models with the standard motor are very unique. They don’t just fold down for extra storage. They fold flat to the floor to optimize storage. The new Pacifica’s floor also has built-in storage bins for an organizational boost.
2. Impressive Fuel Economy
Between sports practices and matches, play dates, family outings, and road trips, many families spend a lot of time on the road. The last thing they need is financial pain at the pump. The standard Pacifica performs admirably, getting 19 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. The hybrid is predictably the star, though. You can drive for more than 23 miles on the electric engine before the gas motor takes over. It’s worth noting that the Pacifica Hybrid is the only hybrid minivan on the market.
3. Top Infotainment on Board
The Pacifica comes with Chrysler’s popular Uconnect infotainment system. The audio control knobs and buttons might seem a little old-fashioned at first, but they’re more responsive than many touch screens. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto both integrate seamlessly with this system. That means your kids can easily select their favorite digital playlists while you’re on the move. The Pacifica is also a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hot spot offering fast connectivity wherever you are. Teens will appreciate being able to update social media while traveling without eating into their own data plans.
4. Impressive Safety Features
Safety features are the most important consideration for many parents. We all want comfort and style, but nothing matters more than knowing we’re protecting our loved ones. You can rest easy driving a 2020 Pacifica, as Chrysler offers almost every driver assistance feature imaginable. Many come standard across the line, including blind-spot monitor, rear parking sensors, and rear automated emergency braking. The 2020 Pacifica also excelled in Insurance Institute of Highway Safety crash tests. Good results for all tested areas should provide real peace of mind.
You won’t mind paying more for extra peace of mind, though. For added assurance, get the Advanced SafetyTec package. Its useful extras include a 360-degree exterior camera, adaptive cruise control, parallel and perpendicular park assist, and lane-departure and forward-collision warning systems.
A 2021 Pacifica will launch later this year, but critics and American families agree you needn’t wait for the new model. Take the family for a test drive of the 2020 model at Tom O’Brien Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram – Indianapolis today.
