Front-wheel drive vs. all-wheel drive
All-wheel drive costs about 2 mpg combined: the 2027 Pacifica is rated 22 mpg combined with front-wheel drive and 20 mpg with AWD. For 2027, Chrysler offers AWD on the Select, Limited and Pinnacle trims.
Chrysler says the AWD system can completely disconnect the power-transfer unit and rear drive module when AWD is not needed, reducing drag and improving fuel efficiency. AWD models also sit a little higher: Chrysler lists ground clearance of 5.4 inches with AWD vs. 5.1 inches with FWD.

What affects your real-world MPG
EPA ratings are lab-based and meant for comparing vehicles; your mileage will vary with how and where you drive. A few things specific to the Pacifica:
- Drive system: AWD versions are rated about 2 mpg lower combined than FWD.
- Load and towing: with the available Trailer Tow Group the Pacifica can tow up to 3,600 lbs., and a full van or a trailer uses more fuel than the rating.
- Charging habits on the Plug-in Hybrid: the 82 MPGe figure reflects driving on electricity and gasoline, while the gasoline-only rating is 30 mpg combined.
- Maintenance: keep up with the Pacifica maintenance schedule and use the correct oil.
