Road trips are as much about the destination as they are getting there. When you take one, you need to be sure your vehicle is up to the task for comfort, safety, and efficiency. That’s why the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is the clear choice if you really want to enjoy the trip!
Hybrid Efficiency
The Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid uses a combination of gasoline power and electric power. Its lithium-ion battery will give you a range of up to 32 miles on electric only. Add in the gasoline-powered 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine that automatically switches to electric-only when full-power isn’t required, and your range extends to up to 520 miles on a single tank of gas and a full electric charge. That’s efficiency at its best.
You can charge your Pacifica in as little as two hours with the 240-volt Mopar charger. The battery charges itself while you drive through a regenerative braking system. This system converts the energy generated through braking and stores it into your battery for even more efficiency.
Download the Hybrid app and you can get real-time reporting on your vehicle’s driving history, charging progress, locate charging stations, and more – all from your smartphone.
Interior Comfort and Convenience
They call the interior “Eco-Chic” because it is as passenger-friendly as it is environmentally friendly. Seating for up to seven passengers means you can take the kids and their friends along. It features 243 different seating configurations too, so you can take passengers and all the necessary gear.
Chrysler’s Stow ‘N Go system allows you to fold the second and third-row seats into the floor for maximum storage. You can use that space for storage when the seats are in use, which means snacks, games, and more are at the ready.
Chrysler’s second-row Easy Tilt system will tilt forward with the push of a button so third-row passengers can get in and out. When the trip is over clean-up is simple with the Stow ‘N Vac system by Rigid.
Keeping passengers entertained is better than ever with the available UConnect Theater. This system features two 10-inch touchscreens on the front headrests with a Blu-ray player, two HDMI inputs, wireless headphones, and Bluetooth streaming.
Safer on the Road
The Pacifica can come with a suite of driver-assist systems for safer driving. A LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist system uses advanced optics to monitor your Pacifica within marked lanes. It will warn you when you drift and even apply gentle steering correction to return you to your lane.
The Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go system uses similar technology to keep you at a preset speed and distance while in traffic. It will bring you to a complete stop, and return you to your presets when the way ahead clears.
Available Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking gives you an alert when the system detects a potential accident and provides brake support if necessary.
There are many reasons the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is the perfect vehicle. Come test drive one today to see which features you’ll enjoy on your next road trip.
