Chrysler Pacifica Minivan. 2nd generation, 2020 restyling
Chrysler Pacifica is a vehicle produced by Chrysler (USA) that forms part of Fiat Group (Italy). In 2003-2007, a ‘CS’ model was produced, positioned by the company as a crossover. From 2016 to the present, a minivan has been produced with a petrol engine or a hybrid system, in a 7 or 8-seater variation. In 2020, a restyled version of the second generation minivan entered the Israeli market.
Distinctive features
In 2020, an upgraded Chrysler Pacifica minivan was presented in Chicago. Along with a refined appearance, for the first time, the model was equipped with a plug-in all-wheel drive, a new Uconnect 5 multimedia system, advanced security packages and an elite top-end Pinnacle trim. The petrol 3.6-liter V6 engine with a nine-speed automatic transmission has not undergone any changes, and the hybrid system with 263 hp is now positioned as an option for all trim levels: Touring, Touring L, Limited, and Pinnacle.
Exterior
It is safe to say that the Pacifica has the best body in its class. It will appeal to comfort seekers and those who want to get agility and dynamics after delivering their kids to schools. The new 2020 minivan has a large mesh grille, LED headlights and foglights, a new front bumper and a Fathom Blue body color. The rear part features a small wing on the fifth door and massive parking lights, united by an LED bridge. The all-season Michelin Premier R18 tires are already available on the basic trim level. The 20-inch wheels can be equipped with Pirelli or Falken tires. Six more options for light-alloy wheels are offered.
Interior
The interior has retained practically the same features. However, the diagonal of the central display has grown by almost 20%: from 8.3 to 10.1 inches. The new Uconnect 5 media system has introduced the Amazon Alexa. The Stow’n Go seat transformation system comes in one package with all-wheel drive. There is a FamCAM internal camera to control kinds in the back rows. With more than 100 systems and electronic assistants, the 2020/2021 Chrysler Pacifica is considered the best in its class in terms of active and passive safety.
