Chrysler Pacifica
The Pacifica is Chrysler's more refined and more versatile minivan. The standard 3.6-litre V6 (287 horsepower) can be specified with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Optionally, a plug-in hybrid system (260 net horsepower) significantly improves fuel economy thanks to 51 km of pure electric range. However, because of the high-voltage battery, the Pacifica Hybrid cannot be fitted with all-wheel drive or second-row seats that fold into the floor.
