(September 6, 2020) AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Ordering is now open for the refreshed 2021 Chrysler Pacifica, giving families the chance to bring home the most advanced all-wheel-drive (AWD) system in its class, up to 80 MPGe with the first hybrid powertrain in the segment, more standard safety features, a refreshed exterior and interior and upgraded technology, such as the new Uconnect 5 system, at a starting U.S. manufacturer’s suggested retail price of  $36,540 including destination charge. AWD is available at a starting U.S. price is $39,535.

“For more than 35 years, Chrysler has led innovation, and the new 2021 Chrysler Pacifica and Pacifica AWD, with more standard safety features than any vehicle in the industry, are designed to build on that position,” said Tim Kuniskis, global head of Chrysler. “Add in all-wheel-drive capability paired with Stow ‘n Go seating, the only plug-in hybrid minivan and the new premium Pinnacle model, and the new 2021 Pacifica is America’s most capable and most technologically advanced minivan.”

The 2021 Chrysler Pacifica and Chrysler Voyager will be built at the Windsor Assembly Plant in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Vehicles are scheduled to start arriving in dealerships in the fourth quarter of 2020.

The 2021 Pacifica’s standard new exterior design expression is much more deeply sculpted, athletic and modern in character, with utility-vehicle-inspired design cues. A new top-of-the-line Pinnacle model sets a new standard in the segment with a sophisticated, luxurious interior that incorporates a new integrated Ultra console — the most functional center console in its class — and elite appointments, such as quilted Nappa Caramel leather seats with new matching lumbar comfort pillows.
 
The all-new Uconnect 5 system, standard across the 2021 Pacifica lineup, includes a largest-in-class 10.1-inch standard touchscreen, which is nearly 20 percent larger than the screen it replaces. The system is five times faster than Uconnect 4 and includes Amazon Alexa capabilities.
 
The new 2021 Chrysler Pacifica also gives parents a bird’s-eye view of their most precious cargo, thanks to the available new FamCAM interior camera, which delivers a best-in-class, high-definition image and allows the driver a view of rear-facing child seat occupants in the second row and even allows them to zoom in on passengers. Another first for the segment, new USB Type C ports allow devices to charge up to four times faster than standard USB outlets.

Pacifica is the only minivan to offer class-exclusive Stow ‘n Go seating, paired with the most advanced AWD system in its class. The Pacifica’s AWD system engages seamlessly without need of driver activation and with the capability of transferring 100 percent of the available engine torque to the rear wheels. The AWD system — the first available in a Chrysler minivan since 2004 — delivers enhanced traction in a wide range of driving and road conditions, from dry pavement to snow-covered roads to non-paved surfaces.

The Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid, still America’s only plug-in hybrid minivan, is offered on all four Pacifica trim levels and maintains the same starting price as the 2020 model year for Touring, Touring L and Limited Hybrid models. The Pacifica Hybrid continues to be eligible for a $7,500 federal tax credit, as well as any state and local credits. The minivan segment’s first-ever hybrid vehicle delivers more than 80 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe) in electric-only mode, an all-electric range of more than 30 miles and a total range of more than 500 miles.

Chrysler brand remains committed to the minivan segment that it invented more than 35 years ago with a full 2021 lineup that provides families a range of options, from an entry-level minivan to a premium people-mover. The redesigned 2021 Chrysler Pacifica four-model lineup — Touring, Touring L, Limited and the new top-of-line Pinnacle — delivers a menu of choices to fit any family, while Chrysler Voyager is the budget-friendly family option.

The new-for-2021 Pacifica packs more value than ever in its price tag, with more standard features than ever. The 2021 Pacifica offers more standard safety features than any vehicle in the industry, including:

    •    New LED lights
    •    Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
    •    Blind-spot Monitoring
    •    Rear Cross Path detection
    •    ParkSense rear park assist
    •    Adaptive Cruise Control with Full Stop
    •    Electronic stability control (ESC)
    •    Forward Collision Warning
    •    Lane Departure Warning

All told, the 2021 Pacifica lineup delivers 116 standard and available safety and security features.
