From Your Chrysler Dealership: Meet the 2023 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid
Powertrain and Charging
The Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid offers dependable performance and prompt acceleration from its 260-horsepower hybrid system, which consists of a 3.6L V6 complemented by a pair of electric motors. A continuously variable transmission can be counted on for smooth delivery of power to the front drive wheels. Along with the minivan’s 16-kWh lithium-ion battery and regenerative braking, it helps achieve an EPA-rated 82 MPGe combined.
Another advantage that the powertrain provides is the ability to run on electric power only when the fuel runs out. With a Level 1 charger, the battery can be fully charged in about 12 hours, but an available Level 2 charger cuts that down to just two hours when it’s connected to a 240-volt outlet. Thanks to this handy feature and an all-electric range of up to 32 miles, there’s no need to stop at the gas station before taking the kids to school.
Interior
Generous passenger space, top-notch craftsmanship, and a wealth of premium creature comforts: the Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid’s cabin is where much of the vehicle’s value can be found. All models come in a 7-seat configuration with second-row captain’s chairs and a 60/40 split-bench for the third row. While the captain’s chairs are easily removable, the third row stows into the floor, so that the Pacifica can double as a cargo van.
Heated seats, plush leatherette trim, dual-zone automatic climate control, and an 8-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support and a memory system all come standard. A truly luxurious riding experience awaits you and your passengers when you opt for the Pinnacle trim, which sports ventilated and quilted Nappa leather upholstery and platinum chrome accenting.
Infotainment
Chevy’s user-friendly and highly customizable Uconnect 5 infotainment system is accessed through the Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid’s large, 10-inch touchscreen. In addition to standard wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration and support for a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, this system offers Amazon Alexa connectivity and navigation with TomTom connected traffic and travel services.
The available rear entertainment system features two 10.1-inch screens mounted to the front seatbacks, plus a video USB port, headphone ports, and Amazon Fire TV. Deep, rich sound comes from the available 20-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system.
From its fuel-saving hybrid system to its fully loaded infotainment system, the elegant Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid has all the makings of an ideal family vehicle. Contact Jackson Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram today, and we’ll set you up with a test drive!
