What's New for 2021?

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.

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!
