Does Anyone Sell a Hybrid Minivan?
Whoever said minivans are dead clearly didn’t know what they were talking about, or at the very least, they clearly underestimate Chrysler. SUVs are great and all, but when the Chrysler Pacifica came on the scene, it changed what the world thought of as a family hauler.
As much as the U.S. loves its SUVs, and for good reason, nothing really compares to a well-equipped minivan when it comes to family-friendly driving. And believe it or not, the minivan just got even better, as the Chrysler Pacifica became the first minivan in history to be available with both a gasoline and hybrid powertrain.
2023 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid and Gasoline Powertrain Specs
The Pacifica model is great no matter which powertrain you select, so if you’d like to stick with the gasoline engine, you’ll still have a lot to look forward to. This particular model comes with a V6 engine under the hood and is capable of delivering up to 287 horsepower. If you want to go with the gasoline model, the MSRP starts at $37,020.
If you want to check out America’s first and only plug-in hybrid minivan, however, you’ll be in for one unique experience. This model contains that same V6 engine while adding an electric motor to make it hybrid. The big difference comes from that electric motor, which allows the hybrid model to achieve an estimated fuel economy of 82 MPGe. In addition, the Pacifica Hybrid boasts a driving range of more than 500 miles on a single tank of gas. The starting MSRP for the hybrid model is $50,495.
