Chrysler Unveils Pacifica FAV Edition

Benna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CDJR) is pleased to announce that the 2025 Chrysler Pacifica lineup will include a new Family Adventure Vehicle (FAV). The Pacifica FAV adds utility and style to the already robust Pacifica minivan package. The Chrysler Pacifica has already proven to be the best-selling minivan in the U.S. It boasts the best-in-class standard overall cargo volume and is the only plug-in hybrid minivan in the industry. The latter is also the fourth-best-selling plug-in hybrid in the country. Having debuted at the 2024 Los Angeles Auto Show, the Pacifica FAV Edition bolsters that class-leading cargo space with a Thule rooftop cargo carrier, adding 16 cubic feet of volume. This makes the model for large families traveling with all three rows of seats being used or smaller families not interested in traveling light. Of course, it is also ideal for camping and the perfect location for tents, sleeping bags, and other outdoor equipment. The Thule cargo carrier is mounted on a set of black Mopar roof rails, which are also included in the package. The roof rails are complemented by a blacked-out grille, black side mirrors, front and rear valance, and bespoke black 18-inch Foreshadow wheels. All-weather floor mats and a large cargo mat enhance interior utility by guarding against rain, mud, snow, spills, and more. A Uconnect 5 infotainment system with an onboard navigation system and a premium 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system enhance interior technology (Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid FAV features a 20-speaker system). The FAV is Built from the Select Pacifica trim, which already features: Standard second- and third-row Stow ‘n Go seating (Plug-in Hybrid has third-row Stow ‘n Go) Adaptive cruise control Lane Departure Warning, Blind-spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path detection Rear Park Assist Auto-dimming rearview mirror Second-row one-touch windows Universal garage door opener “No matter the adventure, whether it’s a cross-country vacation, a local outing for a picnic or road trip for a soccer or hockey tournament, the Chrysler Pacifica FAV Edition helps families load up for fun with best-in-class standard overall cargo volume combined with sporty appearance and additional unique content and road trip-ready accessories,” said Chris Feuell, Chrysler Brand CEO. “The Chrysler Pacifica FAV joins the recent return of the Chrysler Voyager in building up the Chrysler minivan lineup and really giving our families and customers the power to choose the vehicle that most closely fits their lifestyles.” The Pacifica FAV will be available with both conventional and plug-in hybrid drivetrains and exterior color choices of Diamond Black, Red Hot, and Bright White. The starting MSRP for the non-electrified model will be $45,345. The Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid FAV has a starting MSRP of $53,950. The Pacifica FAV models can be expected to arrive at the Benna CDJR inventory in the first quarter of 2025. They may already be available by the time you read this. If not, contact one of our Benna CDJR sales professionals and ask them to notify you when the first models arrive.

​​CDJR Models Win Vincentric Best CPO Value Awards, Recognized for Low Ownership Cost​

All of the models carried by Benna Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep ®, and Ram are designed to provide value at purchase, throughout ownership, and when it is time for resale. Thus, we are happy to announce that the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep ®, and Ram brands all appear in the 12th annual Vincentric Best CPO Value in America Awards. The awards highlight vehicles that retain their value in the used vehicle market. Vincentric is a data analysis firm for the automotive industry.  Each year, they perform a cost of ownership analysis at the model level, from which comes the Vincentric Best CPO Value in America™ awards. Vincentric measures the cost of ownership using eight different cost factors: Depreciation Fees & taxes Financing Fuel Insurance Maintenance Opportunity cost Repairs Based on their proprietary statistical model, winners are determined by evaluating which vehicles had lower-than-expected ownership costs, given their market segment and price. Each vehicle was evaluated in all 50 states plus Washington, DC, using a range of annual mileage intervals and insurance profiles. Best CPO Value awards The Jeep Wagoneer was awarded for having the Best CPO Value in America in the  Luxury Large SUV category.  Contributing factors include: Outperformed 9 Competitor Models 6.1% below expected ownership costs For the second time, the Chrysler Voyager won the award for the Best CPO Value in America in the minivan category.  Its contributing factors include: 3.8% below expected ownership costs Lowest Total Cost of Ownership in its Class Outperformed 4 Competitor Models "We know consumers consider many factors when purchasing a vehicle, not just the initial cost, but also the overall cost to own, operate, and drive,” said Matt Thompson, Head of U.S. Retail Sales. “These awards are significant because they highlight a range of Stellantis vehicles that offer long-term value retention and peace of mind, from minivans to sedans, to commercial vans and full-size SUVs." Lowest Ownership Cost Recognition With their data on ownership costs, Vincentric also recognizes models that have the lowest in their respective categories. As a result, they recognized these five models for having the lowest total cost of ownership in their class: Chrysler 300 Sedan Ownership costs over $1,856 lower than the nearest competitor Outperformed two competitor models Chrysler Voyager minivan Ownership costs over $1,673 lower than the nearest competitor Outperformed four competitor models Dodge Durango SUV Ownership costs over $1,673 lower than the nearest competitor Outperformed four competitor models Ram ProMaster City Passenger Van Ownership costs over $1,186 lower than the nearest competitor Outperformed seven competitor models Ram ProMaster City Commercial Van Ownership costs over $2,083 lower than the nearest competitor Outperformed two competitor models While it is relatively easy to compare vehicle prices when shopping, comparing the overall cost of ownership is more challenging.  Consequently, Vincentric's work and its awards are valuable tools for anyone looking for a new or used vehicle. We invite you to check out all the Vincentric’s winners, at Benna CDJR.

Chrysler is welcoming back a member of the brand’s minivan family, adding the 2025 Chrysler Voyager to its retail lineup as a budget-friendly option under $40,000.

Voyager Returns as a Budget-friendly Addition to the Chrysler Family of Minivans

Chrysler invented the modern minivan over 40 years ago and remains committed to providing the industry's most compelling and comprehensive minivan model line.  As the Pacifica has stayed ahead of the game with all-wheel drive and is the only plug-in hybrid model in the segment, room has been made at the more affordable end of the category for more budget-minded families in need of a good new minivan. Thus, Benna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CDJR) is proud to inform you of the return of the Voyager minivan as a new entry-level to its minivan lineup. The full lineup now includes: Voyager LX Pacifica Select Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid Select Pacifica Limited Pacifica Pinnacle Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid Pinnacle The 2025 Voyager LX will have a starting MSRP of $39,995.  This decreases the entry price by $2,455 from the existing 2025 entry Pacifica model.  Nevertheless, the Voyager LX will still be well-equipped with its feature list, including: 10.1-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, delivering a range of connected services, including the ability to connect two phones simultaneously with Bluetooth, Amazon Alexa voice controls, and more 7-inch digital cluster display Stow ‘n Go seating configuration Power sliding doors and liftgate 8-way power-adjustable front seats Heated front seats and steering wheel Wireless Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay ® Super Console with covered and second-row accessible storage Black Caprice leatherette seats trimmed in Light Diesel stitching Blind-spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path detection Rear Park Assist Adaptive cruise control Driver seat memory Three-zone auto HVAC controls Passenger four-way manual seats Second-row sunshades Enabled lifetime connected services, including SOS calls, SiriusXM Guardian Assistance, theft alarm, and more, and trial connected services, including navigation and vehicle assistance Like the non-electrified Pacifica models, the Voyager will be powered by the award-winning 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6, which produces 287 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque.  It is paired with the segment-exclusive TorqueFlite 9-speed automatic transmission. “The 2025 Chrysler Voyager offers customers a well-equipped, budget-conscious minivan and reinforces our brand’s commitment to delivering choices in the segment Stellantis created more than 40 years ago and continues to lead," said Chris Feuell, Chrysler Brand CEO – Stellantis. “We’ve added many comfort, technology-focused and safety features as standard equipment on Chrysler Voyager, including standard Stow ‘n Go seating, making the Voyager an attractive, value-packed option within the Chrysler family of minivans.” The 2025 Chrysler Voyager LX will be offered in three exterior colors: Red Hot, Diamond Black, and Bright White. You can order one now at Benna CDJR, and models are expected to arrive in the final quarter of 2024.

The Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Is One Minivan To Love

When the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid first debuted in 2017, there were plenty of doubters. Could a plug-in hybrid work with families on the go? Years later, that answer is “yes.” After all, it is the first plug-in hybrid minivan sold in America. This was confirmed by Inside EV, where they claimed how much they love this combination of electric and gasoline power that is rechargeable. The Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid works on two types of energy sources: Gasoline and electricity. The Pacifica’s rechargeable battery pack can run an estimated 32 miles on a full charge. The V6 gasoline engine is not used at all. Just pure electric propulsion, including instant torque. Running on battery power makes sense when you’re commuting in the Twin Ports area, getting groceries, or doing some shopping around town. It even makes sense when you're taking the kids to sports practice or music lessons without using one drop of fuel. Inside EV also found that there is one way you can drive without using gasoline. On the e-shifter knob, turn it into the L position, and it will put the electric motor into a maximum regeneration mode. When your battery pack runs down to almost empty, the hybrid system switches to the V6 gasoline engine. You may have a few drops of electrons left, and some more could be recoverable through regenerative braking. There may be occasions when you start off using the electric motor and then switch to the gasoline engine without any interruption. The switch between the two power sources is very seamless. Recharging is easy. It can take up to a Level 2 charge either at home or at a public charging station. You can install a Level 2 charger for your home. A wall-mounted Free2Move is available through Benna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. You could also get a wall-mounted charger from another source. There are plenty of electricians in the Twin Ports area who can assist you in installing your own home charger. If you’re looking for a charging station, Jeep has you covered. You can find them in downtown Duluth and on the campus of the University of Minnesota-Duluth. Other apps can assist in finding a spot to charge the Pacifica Hybrid when you are away from home. If you want a minivan that can run on both gasoline and electricity, contact us at Benna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram to experience the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid today!

Chrysler Celebrates Pacifica As The Most Awarded Minivan

It was 40 years ago when the Chrysler Corporation invented the modern minivan. That was long enough ago that some models even sported wood grain paneling on the side. It sparked a whole new genre in the automotive industry with several models from domestic and import manufacturers, but the Mopar Minivans always led the way. Such was its dominance that the Chrysler Pacifica is now the only domestic brand on the market. There are import competitors, but the Pacifica still leads the pack, and Benna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram is proud to pass on the fact that the Pacifica is the most awarded minivan on the market. Innovation Large and Small Throughout its seven-year design, the Chrysler Pacifica has garnered over 175 awards and accolades from industry reviewers. These awards recognize Pacifica's constant innovation, from the practicality of its Stow-and-Go 2nd- and 3rd-row seats, which can transform from people carrier to full cargo carrier without the hassle of removing seats, to the reassurance of the FamCAM, which allows the driver to monitor an infant in a reverse-facing child seat. The Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) is a testament to Chrysler's commitment to innovation and sustainability. Designed with the typical minivan usage in mind, the Pacifica PHEV can be charged overnight on a regular household outlet and then run on electricity alone for 32 miles. This is often enough to cover a day’s driving needs. With a total range of 520 miles and 30 combined MPG, the Pacifica PHEV offers the perfect balance of efficiency and versatility. Any shopper near the Superior, Wisconsin, area will appreciate that the Pacifica is also available with all-wheel drive in its Touring L, Limited, and Pinnacle trim levels. This gives you the best of both worlds: extreme cabin space and flexibility with the all-weather traction optimization of an SUV or crossover. New Campaign Celebrates Inspiration from Families Chrysler credits its industry-leading awards and overall success with the Pacifica to its owners' constant intense consumer research, examining how they use their vehicles and what could make the experience better. Chrysler celebrates this research with its new “Thanking Our Parents” advertising campaign, which features three different spots focusing on three different kinds of families. “Boy Mom” highlights the challenges of a mother of four boys under ten. “Empty Nest” shows two parents dropping off their youngest at college and then enjoying the space and features of the Pacifica for themselves. Finally, “Dog Mom” expands the traditional family definition to include pet parents as it observes one young woman keeping her very large St. Bernard happy as they travel. All three spots focus on the theme that Pacifica is observing consumers like these and creating features to accommodate them, which has earned it unequaled industry recognition. Explore the Best Minivan on the Market Crossovers and SUVs may be the choice of many, but you still won’t find a better vehicle to accommodate family living and long road trips than a minivan, and the best one on the market is named “Pacifica.” Come to Benna CDJR and see what impresses the experts so much about the Pacifica. If you buy one, perhaps you can inspire Chrysler Pacifica’s next big idea.

2024 Chrysler Pacifica Front Side View

Chrysler Pacifica Named Best Minivan for Families by U.S. News & World Report

The 2024 Chrysler Pacifica is a minivan that is more than a people carrier. It is a safe, attractive, all-weather, and all-purpose vehicle that helps up to 8 passengers ride easily and comfortably. When Chrysler developed the minivan concept in the 1980s with the Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager, they never stopped reinventing the segment, which is what makes the Pacifica so beloved by journalists and customers. Who Is U.S. News & World Report? U.S. News & World Report is one of the leading publications that ranks everything from the best colleges in America, the best universities around the globe, to the best hospitals, states, cars, and much more. They have been a trusted source since 1948. Every year, they give out their best of awards, and this year, they chose the Chrysler Pacifica as the Best Minivan for their 2024 Best Cars for Families Awards. A Word From U.S. News “The 2024 Best Cars for Families winners offer a number of safety features and a comfortable ride for all passengers, making them ideal for daily commutes or family adventures,” said Liz Opsitnik, Executive Editor, U.S. News. In order to decide the 2024 Best Cars for Families award, U.S. News & World Report looks at their Best Car Rankings, which uses safety data, quality, estimated reliability, passenger and cargo space, plus the overall consensus of automotive journalists. Engine & Mileage The Pacifica is available as either a gas-only or hybrid vehicle. The gas model features a 3.6-liter V6 that produces 287 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. The Pacifica plug-in hybrid has the same 3.6-liter V6 but with 260 horsepower and two electric motors producing 84 horsepower and 114 horsepower. With 520 miles of range, the Pacific hybrid is fast becoming the segment’s favorite minivan. In pure electric mode, the vehicle can go 32 miles before the gas motor kicks in. The Pacifica is also available with all-wheel drive. According to the EPA, the front-wheel drive Pacifica models can get 19 mpg in the city and 28 on the highway. When AWD is equipped, that mileage drops slightly to 15 and 25. However, opting for the plug-in hybrid allows for 82 MPGe and 30 mpg combined between city and highway. For mothers and fathers who need to keep an eye on their children in the backseat, the Pacifica features a FamCam interior camera that gives a view of children in rear-facing child seats. With Stow ‘n Go seating, the Pacifica is never hurting for available space, and the seats won’t get in the way when stowed. Behind the third row of seats, you will find 32.3 cu.ft. of cargo space. Folding the third row opens that up to 87.5 cu.ft., and folding the second row of seats gives owners 140.5 cu.ft. of cargo capacity. The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety has given the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica their coveted Top Safety Pick award. This means that the Pacifica is not only one of the best offerings for families, according to U.S. News & World Report, but is verified as one of the safest family vehicles on the market by the IIHS. At Benna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we offer our customers some of the best prices and services. With dozens of new and used vehicles to choose from, our excellent sales team and finance department will work hard to make sure you drive away happy. And our fantastic service department will take care of your new-to-you vehicle as if it were their own.

The Chrysler Halcyon Concept exemplifies a fully electrified fut

Chrysler Will Unveil Innovative Electric Concept Car

A significant part of the automotive future is the electric vehicle, and with more automakers producing EVs and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, the technology is advancing quickly, and customers are benefiting from all the new choices. Chrysler has wasted no time in creating a concept that is exciting to everyone with its unique styling, excellent features, and the promise of advanced technology. Welcome the Chrysler Halcyon Concept. All-Electric Future Chrysler will be bringing their first electric vehicle to market in 2025, with an all-electric brand of cars coming in 2028. The Halcyon Concept uses the brand’s STLA Large platform, which incorporates both 400-volt and 800-volt electric architecture and will have a range of 500 miles. The Concept has an interior that is made up of 95% sustainable materials with Chrysler logos made from crushed and recycled CDs. Interesting Features One interesting feature that the Halcyon borrows from the Dodge and Chrysler minivans is the future of Stow ‘n Go, allowing the rear seats to fold into the trunk area for maximum cargo capacity. It was a genius idea for the minivan world, and it can only be even more brilliant for an EV that already has more space than an internal combustion engine car. A Word From Chrysler “The Chrysler Halcyon Concept creates a level of serenity that fully represents the Halcyon name. The Halcyon showcases innovative and sustainable mobility solutions that embrace technology and offer value to customers while delivering Harmony in Motion,” said Chris Feuell, Chrysler Brand CEO – Stellantis. “The Chrysler Halcyon Concept brings to life a fully electric tomorrow through new technology suites from Stellantis that integrate with simple and pure aerodynamic design and a seamless, connected and immersive cockpit experience.” Special Design and Interior It has a wide-open cabin that allows for lots of natural light, and it also has supreme safety with nearly 360 degrees of visibility. The interior also features a beautiful 15.6-inch center console-mounted infotainment touchscreen that can be used in either portrait or landscape orientations. The Halcyon will also have a fullscreen head-up display that will share all the relevant driving information you need. Each Halcyon Concept EV will be powered by artificial intelligence, allowing you to talk to the car and ask or request pretty much anything, whether it be news, changing the temperature, or asking for directions. With all of this technology, there will be no need for an instrument cluster. All-New Battery Tech By far, the most impressive new technology will be the use of truly visionary Lyten 800-volt lithium-sulfur EV batteries that do away with nickel, cobalt, and manganese, meaning the Halcyon Concept and other future Chrysler EVs can be as much as 60% more environmentally friendly with their carbon footprint. The Future Is Bright Even though it may be a concept car, the Halcyon is showcasing the future that Chrysler is planning for their customers, and it looks to be a very bright one indeed. At Benna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we offer our customers some of the best prices and services. With dozens of new and used vehicles to choose from, our excellent sales team and finance department will work hard to make sure you drive away happy. And our fantastic service department will take care of your new-to-you vehicle as if it were their own.

IIHS Logo

Chrysler Pacifica Is An IIHS Award Winner

We all want the cars we drive to be safe, but the priority of safety rises as we add other people as passengers, and even more so when those passengers are family. Consequently, a high safety rating may resonate a bit stronger on a minivan designed for hauling families than, say, a Dodge Challenger Hellcat. Thus, Benna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram is pleased to inform you that the 2023 Chrysler Pacifica has earned a Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). To earn an IIHS Top Safety Pick rating, a vehicle must have the following qualifications: Good rating – the highest possible – in the driver- and passenger-side small overlap front tests and original moderate overlap front test Acceptable or good rating in the updated side test Acceptable or good headlights standard Advanced or Superior rating for daytime vehicle-to-pedestrian front crash prevention Pacifica was ranked “Good” in IIHS tests that simulate three of the most common types of real-world crashes: Driver-side small overlap frontal impact Passenger-side small overlap frontal impact Moderate overlap frontal impact In addition, the Pacifica’s standard Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) received an advanced rating in both daytime and nighttime testing. The 2024 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid Pinnacle remains the first and only plug-in hybrid in the segment, achieving more than 80 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe), an all-electric range of more than 30 miles and a total range of more than 500 miles. Chrysler points to the Pacifica’s robust body structure, which features multiple uses of advanced high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel, along with meticulous crumple zone design, contributing to these results. “The Chrysler Pacifica is America’s most awarded minivan for seven years running, and 2023 Chrysler Pacifica stands alone among minivans with its 97 standard-equipment safety and security features and its renowned versatility,” said Chrysler Brand CEO Chris Feuell. “The total package delivers the superior level of driving confidence consumers want and deserve.” In 2020, IIHS revised its rating system to place greater emphasis on AEB and headlight functionality. Because LED provides a balanced beam of light that also minimizes glare for oncoming traffic, the 2023 Pacifica features standard LED headlamps, daytime running lamps, fog lamps, and taillamps. The minivan remains the most versatile and comfortable automotive genre for daily family activities and taking the clan on a cross-country trip. Chrysler created the minivan segment 40 years ago and continues to innovate the category with the Pacifica, adding to that versatility by being the only Minivan to offer both a hybrid drivetrain and, most notably for our area, all-wheel drive in the mix. Inquire with Benna CDJR about test driving the safe, efficient, and versatile Chrysler Pacifica.

TAWA Auto Roundup Logo

Stellantis Vehicles, Collect Multiple Awards at 2023 TAWA Auto Roundup

Stellantis brought back several awards from the 2023 annual Texas Automotive Writers Association (TAWA) Auto Roundup. Held in late March at Eagles Canyon Raceway in Decatur, Texas, Benna CDJR is proud to say that the Lone Star scribes showed some love for Dodge, Chrysler, and Alfa Romeo, bringing home a combined seven awards from the event. Ram and Jeep will likely get their turn when trucks are reviewed at the organization’s Texas Truck Rodeo in the fall. Dodge Hornet: Crossover Utility Vehicle of Texas The Dodge Hornet is the newest vehicle introduced across the Stellantis family and takes aim at the very popular compact crossover segment. TAWA took an instant liking to it, giving it the Utility Vehicle (CUV) of Texas title award but also bestowing honors such as Best Value, Best New Interior, and Best New Feature, for a total of four awards. The Best Feature award is for the class-exclusive PowerShot feature, which supplies a burst of 30 horsepower for the electrified Dodge Hornet R/T plug-in hybrid. The R/T has a rear-mounted motor that provides an estimated 30 miles of EV range and a combined 288 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque. Dodge Challenger SRT Black Ghost: Performance Vehicle of Texas One of the seven “Last Call” special-edition Challenger and Charger models in their final year of muscle car production, The 807-horsepower Dodge Challenger Black Ghost channels the spirit of a legendary street racer that prowled Detroit’s famed Woodward Avenue in the 1970s. Only 300 of the Black Ghost “Last Call” models will be produced, all in Pitch Black and in Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody form. Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid: Family Vehicle of Texas Probably the least surprising of the awards, the Pacifica took the Family Vehicle of Texas award for the 6th consecutive year. Minivans are known for carrying out commuting and domestic chores during the week and then being the designated vehicle for road trips, which is a perfect scenario for a plug-in hybrid drivetrain. Yet the Pacific remains the only available plug-in hybrid minivan in the country. The Pacifica PHEV provides an estimated 30 EV miles, 80 MPGe, and more than 500 miles total range. For this and other reasons, the Pacifica is also the most awarded minivan over the last six years, with more than 170 honors and industry accolades since its introduction. Alfa Romeo Stelvio: Best Mid-Size CUV For this award, it probably didn’t hurt that votes were decided after the cars were run on the Eagles Canyon Raceway. Because while the Stelvio is a beautiful piece of machinery full of Italian design and elegant detailing, it's the performance that makes it unforgettable. It isn’t just the 280 hp and 306 lb-ft of torque, it is the character of the engine as you put it through its paces, the sublime feel of the steering as it shows its sure-footedness on the curves, and the confidence one feels from the brakes. The Stelvio is a performance thoroughbred, and TAWA recognized just that. We thank TAWA for recognizing the special nature of these Stellantis models. Of course, Benna CDJR is where you can see the all-new Dodge Hornet and Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid up close and experience them on the road. With production limited to just 300, we may not have a Challenger SRT Black Ghost in stock, but you can experience other Challengers, learn more about the Black Ghost, and put yourself in for a pre-order until they are all spoken for.
