Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid Research Hub

The powertrain features a specially modified 3.6-liter V6 engine paired with two electric motors and an innovative eFlite electrically variable transmission (EVT). This advanced system produces 260 horsepower and delivers seamless acceleration. Front-wheel drive is standard, optimized for maximum efficiency. It can drive up to 32 miles on electric power alone-perfect for school runs and errands-and achieves a remarkable 82 MPGe combined. When the battery is depleted, the gas engine takes over to provide a total driving range of over 500 miles.

Inside, the Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid features a refined cabin with premium materials and an intuitive layout. Because the high-voltage battery is stored centrally in the floor, the second-row captain's chairs are removable rather than Stow 'n Go, but they provide superior comfort and easy access to the third row. The exclusive third-row Stow 'n Go seating system remains standard, allowing the rear seats to fold flat into the floor for expansive cargo space when needed.

Technology is a major highlight, with a 10.1-inch touchscreen powered by the Uconnect 5 system, offering wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Alexa compatibility. Drivers can also access special Hybrid Electric Pages to monitor power flow and charging schedules. Available options include a rear-seat entertainment system with Amazon Fire TV, a built-in cabin camera, wireless charging, and a 20-speaker Harman Kardon sound system.

Safety remains a top priority, with standard features like adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, and forward collision warning. With its spacious interior, advanced hybrid technology, and significant fuel savings, the Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid remains a top contender among modern family vehicles.
