2023 Chrysler Pacifica New Safety Features and Design Changes

 

The Chrysler Pacifica has enjoyed over six years of success in the minivan’s first generation of production. In 2021, the Pacifica received a comprehensive refresh inside and out, and Chrysler updates the model yearly, adding new family-friendly features and the latest must-have tech.

As a result of this continuous improvement process, the Pacifica is the most technologically advanced minivan on the planet. The kids enjoy riding in the Pacifica, and moms and dads love driving it. With the 2023 model year, more new features were added. So we asked our Pacifica experts to review this popular vehicle to help you stay updated on the latest bells and whistles.

2023 Chrysler Pacifica: Trim Levels and Pricing

Chrysler makes the Pacifica minivan in three trims — Touring, Touring L, and Limited. You can also get the Pacifica with a plug-in hybrid. The three plug-in hybrid models are Touring L, Limited, and Pinnacle. Here’s a breakdown of pricing by trim:

2023 Chrysler Pacifica Trim	MSRP
2023 Chrysler Pacifica Touring	$37,270
2023 Chrysler Pacifica Touring L	$41,425

With six trims, there’s a choice to suit any need. In addition, you have options such as the Touring if you want to stay on budget. Of course, you get more features as you move up the range on either gas or plug-in hybrid models. The top-tier Limited and Pinnacle trims offer the finest comfort, convenience, and technology. However, even the midrange models come very nicely equipped.

2023 Chrysler Pacifica: Exterior Style

The 2023 Pacifica offers a sleek exterior style with LED headlights, fog lamps, and LED daytime running lights framing the grille, giving it an aggressive stare. Its chiseled hood, standard roof rack, and sharp body lines give it an athletic profile as it rolls on various styles of 17-, 18-, or 20-inch alloy wheels. And the rear fascia features LED taillights and a hands-free power liftgate. Your side doors also operate hands-free. Wave your foot beneath the side or rear doors with the key fob in your pocket to activate.

The top-tier Pinnacle offers distinctive styling cues, such as a trim-exclusive grille, platinum chrome accent trim, and designer alloy wheels. As a result, it strikes an elegant, sophisticated pose. And the panoramic sunroof lets the light and air in on every family adventure.

2023 Chrysler Pacifica: Interior Comfort and Convenience

The Pacifica base models offer premium cloth interiors. However, the Pinnacle delivers high-end luxury with Caramel Nappa leather upholstery, suede headliner, quilted leather trim, Berber carpet, second-row leather pillows, and satin chrome accents for a refined look and feel.

Chrysler’s Stow ‘n Go seating changes the seating configurations with ease. Fold the second- and third-row seats and store them under the floor when you need to haul cargo. You have seating for up to eight people when you haul the kids to soccer practice or take a weekend getaway. Passengers can tilt and slide the second-row seats with a simple lever lift.

The Chrysler Pacifica’s seating versatility includes 243 configurations, so you can create the cabin space you need as you need it. Also, the seat storage area under the floor doubles as storage for toys, games, and more.

Clean-up has never been easier than with the Pacifica’s Stow ‘n Vac. This integrated vacuum system powered by RIGID offers quick access to your vacuum stored in the wheel well.

Your front center console offers storage space, wireless charging, and multiple USB ports. All your in-vehicle tech runs on the 10.1-inch UConnect 5 touch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto preinstalled for your convenience. In addition, Chrysler installed its FamCam, which sends a live video of the back seats to your center screen.

An Amazon Alexa Skill offers remote connectivity from the comfort of your living room. Your Pacifica turns into a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot that connects multiple devices. Families love the optional rear entertainment system that adds two 10-inch touch screens with Amazon Fire TV for streaming and downloading to built-in storage. You can sync the touch screens or let them operate independently when the kids can’t agree on programming.

2023 Chrysler Pacifica: Performance

Every Pacifica model comes standard with a capable front-wheel-drive platform. All the gas-powered models except the base Touring have the option for all-wheel drive for more traction and control. Chrysler uses a 3.6-liter V-6 engine with a nine-speed automatic transmission to propel the Pacifica. This powertrain produces 287 horsepower and can tow up to 3,600 pounds when properly equipped.

The Pacifica hybrid models use a 3.6-liter V-6 engine optimized by an electric motor and a lithium-ion battery. As a result, you get more horsepower and torque. Plus, your economy improves with over 30 miles of driving range using only electricity. Combined with the gas engine, an electric motor provides over 500 miles of total driving range.

2023 Chrysler Pacifica: Driver Assist Technology

Chrysler installed a suite of cutting-edge tech to elevate your Broken Arrow commute and keep you safe. The suite includes a full-speed forward collision warning with active braking that uses radar to identify obstacles. If you react slowly to alerts, this system will activate emergency braking to help. Your emergency braking system also detects pedestrians.

The adaptive cruise control system helps reduce driver fatigue by keeping you at a preset distance in traffic. In addition, Chrysler’s LaneSense system tracks your Pacifica while you drive within marked lanes, alerting you when you drift. It can also provide gentle steering correction to return you to your lane.

Blind-spot monitoring uses similar technology to alert you when vehicles or objects are in your blind spots. And a rear cross-traffic alert lets you back up confidently as it warns you when vehicles cross behind you.
