If you were one to believe minivans couldn’t possibly be cool, we’re quite positive the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica will have you reevaluating your opinion. Equipped with the latest technology, cutting edge safety features, and an available gas-electric Hybrid model, the redesigned Pacifica will impress everyone…young and old alike.

Technology (Fun)

The Chrysler Pacifica is the perfect minivan for long endeavors or short trips throughout the day and it’ll surely keep everyone busy. It has two 10-inch touchscreens in the rear entertainment system and coupled with the Uconnect Theater System, it will offer wireless connectivity to your smart phone for app mirroring, built-in games, multiple USB ports so you can charge your devices, and HDMI connectivity. Even cooler, there’s an “Are We There Yet?” function that tells your backseat passengers the distance that’s left on your trip as well as an ETA…for those who are prone to nagging ;).

An available 8.4 inch touchscreen in the center stack is flush-mounted with the dashboard, which gives it the effect of being a personal tablet. Outstanding graphics coupled with customizable functions and apps will make your ride as comfortable and convenient as possible.

Technology (Safety)

Aside from all of the really cool technology features that make everything more fun, there’s also a whole lot of them that make everything safer. The new Pacifica now offers a 360 degree camera view, automatic parallel and perpendicular parking, forward collision warning, lane-departure warning, rear backup sensing with automatic braking, adaptive cruise control, and several other features that will only enhance what’s already been done. Keeps getting better.

Lots of Other Cool Things

Chrysler’s new-generation Pacifica has a special hybrid powertrain, which is just the tip of the iceberg of minivan innovations. On top of being the first gas-electric minivan (with an EPA-estimated 80 mpg), it’s also the first with optional 20-inch wheels, first with a rotary shift knob and all-LED interior lighting, and first with an iPad-compatible storage drawer. Add to the list the first minivan with hands-free operation of the sliding doors and liftgate and the first with an available full-digital gauge cluster. We can say with confidence the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica has everything you’d ever need.

The much-anticipated Chrysler Pacifica will be available in Spring 2016 and we know the wait will be totally worth it. Do you have your color picked out? 😉
