Upscale look of the interior design and materials, many available convenience, safety and luxury features, all-around visibility is excellent.
The Chrysler Pacifica meets all minivan expectations and exceeds them in some key areas. Overall performance is strong, thanks to a powerful V6 engine and confident handling. On paper it doesn't match the cargo capacity of some rivals, but only by a few cubic feet, which means there's still plenty of space.
Among minivans, the Pacifica is second only to the top-ranked Honda Odyssey, which edges out the Chrysler when it comes to cargo space, clever storage solutions and comfort. It's a close battle between the Honda and the Pacifica Hybrid, which gets a slightly better overall score than this non-hybrid model.
