A family car usually has to check a lot of boxes. Space to drive multiple people around as well as their stuff is a must. Safety is the other must-have feature for a family vehicle. The 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid combines these features with the fuel efficiency that makes it the ideal vehicle for a summer road trip.
Road Ready
Hybrids are designed to lower fuel costs and contribute to environmental responsibility. The 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid achieves these goals and it’s ready to hit the open road with a long-lasting battery. Drivers can go for 30 miles or more on electricity alone before the gas engine kicks in. The 3.6-liter V-6 engine pairs with a 16-kWh battery pack and a hybrid transmission to produce 260 horsepower.
The Pacifica drive on the highway or around town on electric power as a default before switching to gas. With the perfect combination of electric and gas power, the Pacifica Hybrid takes you far on the road before requiring you to stop for gas or a charge.
Comfort and Storage
Chrysler is a leader in the minivan class of vehicles. The automaker uses every bit of that expertise in making the Pacifica Hybrid the most comfortable ride on the road. The 2018 model features power adjustable front seats and sliding second-row seats, as well as third-row with plenty of head and leg room to spare. Chrysler opted to go with sliding second-row seats instead of Stow-N-Go Seats because of the position of the new battery pack.
In addition to comfortable seating, the Pacifica Hybrid offers plenty of space to store luggage and accessories throughout the vehicle. There’s a deep console storage designed to store tablets, multiple cupholders that span all the way to the third row, and plenty of cubbies and trays. It takes a long time to fill up all the available storage, which makes it ideal for a long trip.
Safety and Technology
Having safety features you can count on during extended periods of driving is essential. Chrysler has Pacifica Hybrid owners covered here. This family van has an excellent outward vision, for a vehicle in a larger class, with a large glass area. This makes the Pacifica easy to maneuver. If you want more control and visibility, consider adding optional packages like the technology package which includes features like a surround view camera and adaptive cruise control.
There’s even an optional parking assist system that helps with perpendicular parking. The car also has blind-spot monitoring so you can drive down the road with confidence. Adding the SafetyTec package offers all of these safety features and more which can come in handy on the road.
