Chrysler Pacifica
Minivans are a dying breed, but they’re still unmatched when it comes to hauling 7 or 8 people and their gear. The Pacifica houses a 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 that delivers 287 horsepower, either with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Meanwhile, the Pacifica Hybrid adds electric motors and a high-voltage battery for total output of 260 horsepower and zero-emission range of 51 km. Reliability issues remain, however, so an extended warranty is probably a wise idea.
