Whether you’re heading to soccer practice or hitting the road for a family vacation, you probably spend a lot of time behind the wheel. Make sure your brood is safe and comfortable as you travel through daily life. From cargo space to the latest connectivity, there’s plenty to consider when choosing your next family hauler. Keep reading to discover five reasons why the 2018 Chrysler Pacifica is the perfect family minivan.
Safety and Security
As a parent, your first priority is to keep your little ones safe and sound, and Chrysler agrees. That’s why it loaded the Pacifica with tons of safety features, including an available 360-degree surround-view camera, standard rear cross path detection, and adaptive cruise control.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) named the Pacifica a top safety pick for two years running. It earned the best rating (“good”) in all five crashworthiness tests and a superior rating for front crash prevention. Pacifica also aced every crash test the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) put it through, resulting in an impressive overall five-star score.
Spacious Interior
The new Pacifica offers families an excellent alternative to a sedan or SUV in terms of expanded seating and storage. Depending on how you configure the available second row, Pacifica delivers an astounding 243 possible seating arrangements.
Easily carpool your child’s entire Boy Scout or Girl Scout troop on their next adventure with seating for up to eight. Find four full sets of easy-to-install LATCH car-seat connectors, perfect for “mommy and me” play dates.
Explore Pacifica’s proprietary Stow ‘n Go seating system. It’s the only minivan that lets you fold the third-row seats into the floor, revealing up to 104.5 cubic feet of storage room for every adventure.
Comfort and Handling
Most minivans lack the reputation for carving corners and zooming down winding roads, probably due to their low centers of gravity. The Pacifica has a few nifty extras, like responsive steering and strong brakes, so it stays composed through even the trickiest turns.
This Chrysler delivers a comfortable ride — a must for today’s on-the-go families. Opt for Pacifica’s available heated and ventilated front-row seats and leather upholstery, while active noise-cancellation technology nearly eliminates road noise for a peaceful ride.
Fuel Economy
Most families with offspring are laser-focused on the pocketbook, so fuel economy and reliability are essential when choosing a vehicle. The Pacifica’s 287-horsepower V-6 engine offers parents some of the best fuel economy ratings in its class: 18 mpg city and 28 mpg highway.
Convenience and Performance
Chrysler’s flagship minivan is purposefully designed with your family in mind. Of any vehicle on the market, the 2018 Pacifica features one of the most expansive lists of features, including hands-free power-sliding doors. A ton of driver-assisted features — such as automatic reverse braking and assisted parking — help keep your attention on the road, even during a toddler meltdown.
