When looking at the Pacifica, it was around before this iteration, but time time it’s a minivan. When this generation was introduced in 2017, it came with some great features. This was the first Chrysler to use the “Uconnect 5” infotainment system, which came with a 10.1-inch touchscreen that had wireless phone connectivity. Other services this provided were Amazon Alexa capabilities, as well as SiriusXM Satellite radio. The FamCam was also included with the Pacifica, making it easy to see your rear passengers.
This generation also comes powered by two powertrains. The first one that we’ll cover is your average gas-powered engine, coming with 22 MPG combined, able to go 418 miles on just one tank. If you’re looking for something that comes with a bit more, then you can look for a plug-in hybrid. This is because it can get up to 32 MPG combined, with a total range of 570 miles.
If you’re a soccer mom wanting the most safety, then you’ll want a 2022 model. This is because in 2022, the Pacifica was tested by the IIHS and gained the Top Safety Pick+, thanks to automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control and lane-departure warning.
While the model does come in a ton of trims, the ones that you’ll want to look for are the Limited and Pinnacle. This is because they will be outfitted with quilted-leather upholstery and even offer matching lumbar pillows for the second-row captain's chairs. This is a feature that comes on the most expensive luxury models on the market.
If you’re looking for a trim that is easy on the wallet and still comes with great features, then you’ll want to look for the Touring trims. This is because it comes with a heated steering wheel, perforated leather upholstery, heated front seats, and 18-inch wheels.
But if you’re not looking to spend extra money on models that come with the best features, you really can’t go wrong with other trims. This is because the line comes with great efficiency and mileage. Making it one of the best vehicles on the market for families, and thanks to its safety, it is one of the best soccer mom vans you can get.
