If you've ever tried to travel with your family, then you've probably realized that there are a lot of issues that make it difficult. Minivans offer a wide range of features that can make traveling with a family much easier. The Chrysler Pacifica not only delivers on these features but also does so with a level of style and luxury that you don't see in most family vehicles. If you have a family and you need to travel, here are four reasons the Chrysler Pacifica should be your family's minivan. Award Winner One of the most effective signs that a car is high quality and will retain its value over time is the awards that it wins. The 2018 Chrysler Pacifica won several awards, including the Cars.com “Family Car of the Year.” It beat a wide range of competitors for that award, which speaks volumes about its value to family drivers. It not only won points not only for its features but also for its excitement factor, meaning it is as fun to drive as it is practical. more Fuel Efficiency Fuel costs can rack up quickly in family vehicles, but the Chrysler Pacifica helps keep those costs down with its fuel efficiency. It gets 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway, which means less fueling stops. The fewer times you need to fill up, the less you will spend on fuel costs. And with a 19-gallon tank, you'll be able to go farther in one fill-up. Ample Seating One feature every family car needs is a high number of seats. The 2018 Chrysler Pacifica has seating for seven, which is enough to fit most families. Even though it has a lot of seats, the Pacifica is also roomy so that no one feels cramped. Those seven seats also don't sacrifice its ability to carry cargo, as there is still space for luggage even with all the seats up and filled. There is an additional cargo space behind the third row, and it has a hidden storage compartment for extra storage. That way, you will have all the space you need for long trips. Affordable When compared to other minivans, the 2018 Chrysler Pacifica is an affordable option. On the inside, it looks luxurious, with the premium details and feel you'd expect in a much more expensive van. With six available trim levels, you can choose the version that best meets your family's needs and budget. For a family, the Chrysler Pacifica hits all the right notes for it to be a great family vehicle. With a combination of form, functionality, and style, it offers most family drivers what they need to safely and successfully transport their families.

Its offer to combine technology with style is the 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. This is not like the minivans of the past. Rather, it combines function with technology and style. Safety and Technology Intertwine Safety is paramount in life. It is even more important when you take to the roads either by yourself or with your family and friends.  The Pacifica answers the safety bell with many technology innovations. As you drive, there are times when your car may wander outside your driving lane. Avoid an angry horn or a potential accident by relying on your van. The Pacifica has a lane alert system, which helps to keep you in your lane. This feature is helpful on narrow roads or in heavy traffic. It's important to know who or what is behind you at all times. Thanks to a new federal law, you are guaranteed to have a backup camera as standard equipment on your van. The camera alerts you of people or objects that are close to you as you backup. Sometimes it may feel as if you need your head on a swivel while driving. Rather than taking your eyes off the road to check intersections, let the car do the work for you. It comes with an onboard cross-traffic alert system. more Keep Your Passengers Entertained Long car rides are draining for people of all ages. Keep everyone happy and relaxed with the UConnect system, which comes standard in your new Pacifica. The connect gives your passengers a chance to watch movies while on the road. It also allows you to connect your Apple or Android device to your car. If you're an Apple user you need to have the Apple Carplay to connect your device.  Android users must download Android Auto to connect their onboard devices. Control Your Car without Taking Your Hands Off the Wheel Distracted driving is a major factor in many car accidents today. Avoid this potentially dangerous situation by using the car to connect wirelessly. You can communicate with others by using a hands-free talking system. You can also control your satellite radio without your fingers leaving the wheel. Technology Meets Ease Technology extends to the back of your van as well. It comes with a hands-free liftgate. Gone are the days when you have to balance items with one hand while struggling to open your trunk. Simply lift your foot in front of the sensor. The motion will trigger the sensor to open your rear liftgate.  Once the liftgate is open, load and unload your vehicle as usual. Technology usually leads to an increased price. However, your wallet will like this hybrid. It comes fully loaded, while the MSRP of the 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid starts at $39,995.
