Chrysler Pacifica
The Pacifica is the best minivan on the market in the eyes of many journalists and consumers. For 2020, most trim levels get some extra standard features. Meanwhile, styling is enhanced with the addition of a Red S Appearance Package, plus a new honeycomb grille on the plug-in hybrid variant. The latter has quite a competitive edge with an electric range of just over 50 kilometres. Will we finally see an all-wheel-drive option to challenge the Toyota Sienna?
