Is the Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In the Best Minivan for Road Trips?

There’s nothing like a summer road trip, and the vehicle you take can make all the difference. You want it to be comfortable, roomy, and fuel-efficient.

That’s where the 2025 Chrysler Pacifica plug-in hybrid comes in. This versatile vehicle combines the practicality of a minivan with the efficiency of plug-in hybrid technology, making it perfect for everything from road trips to your daily commute.

Let’s take a look at the things that make this van your new road trip companion!

Fuel Efficiency Meets Flexibility: Perfect for Long-Distance Travel

Powered by a 3.6L V6 hybrid engine delivering approximately 260 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, the Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid offers exceptional efficiency, achieving up to 82 MPGe combined. 

You won’t have to worry about stopping to charge on your road trip, thanks to its impressive range capabilities with approximately 520 miles of total hybrid range, including up to 32 miles of all-electric driving. The regenerative braking system extends the Pacifica’s electric range and allows you to choose between electric or gasoline power based on your driving needs.

When you do have to stop for charging, you’ll have two primary options: Level 1 charging with a standard household outlet (roughly 14 hours to charge fully) or Level 2 charging with a Free2move Charge station (approximately 2 hours for a full charge). You can even get a professionally installed Level 2 home charger for faster charging at home.

Comfort and Convenience Features Built for Family Adventures

The Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid offers premium interior options, including the Pinnacle Trim with quilted Nappa leather, satin chrome accents, and lumbar support. For a sportier look, opt for the S Appearance Package, which features black Nappa leather with gloss black exterior details.

The Pacifica Hybrid minivan with third-row seating is the most spacious plug-in hybrid on the market. It offers seating for seven passengers with 81 possible seating configurations. There is 32.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, but the Stow ‘n Go® third-row seating folds flat for a whopping 140.5 cubic feet of cargo room. Easy Tilt Seating provides convenient third-row access even when you have child seats installed.

Convenience is front and center with features like hands-free power sliding doors and a liftgate that operates with a foot swipe, plus a dual-pane panoramic sunroof standard on Pinnacle and S trims.

The Uconnect® 5 infotainment system features a 10.1-inch touchscreen with Alexa Built-In, TomTom navigation, and voice command access. The Mobile Chrysler App allows you to remotely manage charging schedules, range monitoring, alerts, and charging station location.

Boredom isn’t welcome on your road trips or in the Pacifica Hybrid. Entertainment options include dual seatback screens for second-row passengers with built-in Amazon Fire TV and the Uconnect Theater app that syncs with the front screen. The innovative FanCAM provides a split-screen interior camera view, perfect for monitoring children in rear-facing car seats.
