Innovative Storage and Interior Seating
One fan favorite feature that only Chrysler offers is the Stow ‘n Go seating. This allows second-row seats to be completely stowed within the cabin floor, or even easily removed for cargo storage. This gives ultimate accessibility for busy families, cross-country roadtrips or college student move-in days. . In fact, this vehicle has up to 140.5 cubic feet of cargo capacity.
In a single vehicle, the Chrysler Pacifica offers 243 different seating configurations for the gas powered model and 81 different configurations for the hybrid powertrain model. This goes to show that the Pacifica will have your back in times of travel, errands and storage.
Easy Tilt Seating allows the rear seat passenger to easily maneuver through the cabin with the simple lift of a lever. Using this mechanism allows the second row seats to easily tilt forward, even with a rear facing child’s seat set in place. This makes life easier for the family driver when dropping the carpool off at school or assisting your passengers out of the vehicle.
The 2023 Pacifica takes advantage of any available cargo capacity within the floors of the vehicle cabin. There are floor compartments with push buttons, giving you even more storage for equipment, toys and other necessary supplies for your daily travels.
Family Oriented Technology
The FamCAM is a new addition to the Chrysler Pacifica lineup. This feature allows parents to watch over their children in rear-facing seats. These cameras have an automatic day and night mode with a split view screen option. This way you can always keep a watchful eye on your little ones – especially infants.
In 2022, the Chrysler Pacifica gained an Amazon Fire TV to entertain little ones during family drives and give passengers access to their favorite streaming content and Alexa voice control. In 2023, Chrysler built off this momentum and incorporated Uconnect 5 and Uconnect Theater system, giving parents the control over what content is shown.
Additionally, a convenient and time-saving power liftgate and power sliding door can be activated with just the kick of your foot. Whether it is for caregiving, grocery shopping, road trips or carpooling, the 2023 Chrysler Pacifica is made to adapt to your needs.
Size, Trim Levels and Interior Colors

Every Pacifica is quite roomy with 40 inches of front and rear headroom as well as 40 inches of front and second-row legroom. Front shoulder room measures 64 inches.
Limited trims have luxury Nappa leather seats, a sunroof option, a super console and a hands free power liftgate.

Exterior Colors, Specifications and Features

Performance, Capability and Safety

Additionally, the Chrysler Pacifica has one of the most advanced available all-wheel drive systems in its class. While some think of AWD for winter driving, this electronic system is useful in many more circumstances.
The Chrysler Pacifica has the most standard safety features in the minivan industry, including 116 safety or security-related features. This includes ParkSense parallel and perpendicular park assist and an automatic emergency brake with pedestrian and forward collision warning as standards.
Hybrid Advantages
Chrysler’s Pacifica Hybrid model is the first plug-in hybrid minivan. Fuel efficiency is 82 miles per gallon equivalent, according to the federal Fuel Economy website. The strictly electric range is 32 miles. The hybrid model offers a seamless driving experience, where the driver does not need to manually select between the electric and hybrid modes.
This car hosts a family of seven and keeps the family driver happy with 260 horsepower and a four-wheel drivetrain. Furthermore, the Pacifica hybrid has the many safety features and intuitive family-friendly technology already discussed.
Its lengthy list of features is not the only thing to rave about. In fact, in 2022, the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid was a finalist for the Best Minivan for the Money at US News and World Report.
Compare and Contrast
While the variety of minivans may be dwindling from the market, the need for one is not. Big families need the spacious and versatility that only a minivan can offer. The 2023 Chrysler Pacifica is only one of four minivans available this year, so it is easy to pinpoint how its luxury, technology, increased cargo capacity, easy driveability and solid performance blows other minivan options out of the water.
The Chrysler Pacifica easily pulls ahead of the Toyota Sienna, Honda Odyssey and Kia Carnival. But that’s not all, the Pacifica is outperforming many SUVs such as the Chevrolet Traverse and Honda Pilot in terms of parking assistance, full-size cargo capacity and cabin amenities.
The 2023 Chrysler Pacifica is equipped with a vacuum cleaner for certain trim levels. Known as the Stow ‘n Vac, this vacuum system is perfect to help clean up the mess of little ones or traveling. Additionally, the Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey do not offer a motion-operated power-sliding door.
With Chrysler’s list of safety and security features, versatile trim levels, diverse entertainment system, borderline luxury amenities and great fuel economy, we are confident the Chrysler Pacifica is the perfect family friendly car.
