The Advantages of Each Chrysler Pacifica

"In the U.S. 'We Answered' video series, we're providing in-depth answers to common questions about the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. Today, we're going to take a look at the advantages of each Chrysler Pacifica - the gas model and the hybrid model.

Both the hybrid and gas models give you ample cargo capacity with Stow 'n Go seating, easy access to the third row seats and tons of tech and standard safety features like Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Path Detection, and ParkSense Rear Park Assist with Full Stop. But there are some various factors and features to take into consideration when choosing the model that's best for you and your family.

The Pacifica Hybrid model may make sense for you if you're primarily traveling short distances. With 33 miles of pure electric range, this could help you spend less time at the pump and more time on the road. But don't worry, there's a Pentastar V6 engine giving you a 566-mile total range for those family vacations. Plus, if you find yourself without a need for the second row storage bins or don't have a need to have eight passenger capacity, this makes the hybrid model ideal for you.

On the other hand, if you primarily travel long distances, say 40 plus miles per day or longer, and are looking for best-in-class towing capacity, then the gas model may make more sense. It offers seating for up to eight, second row Stow 'n Go seats that easily store in the floor when more cargo room is needed, plus if you've got messy passengers it also has the available Stow 'n Vac integrated vacuum with convenient access to all corners of the vehicle.

If these sound like must-have features, then the Pacifica gas model is the right one for you. That being said, all Pacifica models feature an award-winning 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine, Uconnect touchscreen radios, and the Safety Tech package, with Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Path Detection, and ParkSense Rear Park Assist with Full Stop.

Whether the hybrid model or the gas model is more suited to your lifestyle, the Chrysler Pacifica provides many innovative features across the entire lineup for your convenience, comfort, and safety."
