__Vehicle Type:__ A five-door, seven-seat plug-in hybrid minivan.

__Price Range:__ $49,095 to $57,645 MSRP, including the $1,595 destination charge but before electric vehicle incentives. Some features may also not be available at the time of production due to supply chain shortages, and a credit will be applied to the vehicle’s price.

__Powertrain:__  A 3.6-liter V6 and two electric motors with a 16-kWh battery with a combined output of 260 horsepower. 

Front-wheel-drive and an electric continuously variable automatic transmission (eCVT) are also standard.

__What’s New for 2022 and 2023?__

After a moderate exterior styling refresh, interior technology upgrade, and the addition of a top-grade Pinnacle trim level for 2021, the 2022 and 2023 Pacifica Hybrid models also gets a host of equipment upgrades. All versions get an upgraded air filtration system and a rear seat reminder to notify drivers to check if pets or young children are in the car before they exit.

Touring L and Limited trims now come with front parking sensors, a 360-degree, surround-view camera, and parallel and perpendicular automated park assist. 

The Limited model also includes a Harman Kardon audio system as standard this year. And every Pacifica with the rear entertainment system now gets Amazon Fire TV, which allows subscribers to watch Prime Video streaming shows with or without an internet connection, play games, and music, and connect to the Alexa voice assistant.

---

__What’s Good?__

- The impressive electric-only range for a plug-in hybrid
- Luxurious appointments in top-end trim levels
- Easy-to-use infotainment system

__What’s Bad?__

- Loses some versatility from gas-only Pacifica
- Some unrefined transitions between gasoline and electric-only operation
- No all-wheel-drive option

__Would we buy one?__ Yes. The blend of a usable electric-only range and strong V6 gas-only power makes the Pacifica Hybrid ideal for most minivan buyers who spend the weekdays commuting and waiting in traffic.

### Overview:

![2022-chrysler-pacifica-plug-in-hybrid-overview-image](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/4tns6CrwRomjg2ZKgjRRjn/c0fecdc0e798000842da0f8caa2208de/2022-chrysler-pacifica-plug-in-hybrid-overview-image.jpg)

The minivan field has thinned considerably over the years, but the creator of the segment as we know it is still pushing on. And the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid has an ace up its sleeve: it’s the only plug-in hybrid minivan on the market. That also makes it one of the most efficient ways to carry up to seven people.

Apart from the very compact 2023 [Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV](https://www.autolist.com/mitsubishi-outlander+phev) and the luxurious and pricey [Lincoln Aviator](https://www.autolist.com/lincoln-aviator) and [Volvo XC90 Recharge](https://www.autolist.com/volvo-xc90-recharge+eawd+r+design), there aren’t many choices for plug-in hybrid vehicles in the US that seat seven. And the Pacifica is vast inside, allowing for space for seven adults and their luggage, or two or four adults and the vast amount of space minivans are known for. Throw in up to 32 miles of electric-only range and little impact on interior space and the Pacifica Hybrid is a plug-in Swiss Army knife.

Rivals for the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid are the [Ford Transit Connect](https://www.autolist.com/ford-transit+connect),[ Honda Odyssey](https://www.autolist.com/honda-odyssey), [Kia Carnival](https://www.autolist.com/kia-carnival), and [Toyota Sienna](https://www.autolist.com/toyota-sienna). Buyers might also consider three-row crossover SUVs such as the [Ford Explorer Hybrid](https://www.autolist.com/ford-explorer+hybrid) and [Toyota Highlander Hybrid](https://www.autolist.com/toyota-highlander+hybrid).

### Overall Score: 3.7/5 stars

#### Driving Experience: 3/5 stars

![2022-chrysler-pacifica-plug-in-hybrid-driving-image](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/35UyaWm8KwNJKdCgATc2CS/6d5ecc2b20566d004e1e520b04c21a27/2022-chrysler-pacifica-plug-in-hybrid-driving-image.jpg)

Despite its almost 600-pound weight gain and 27 horsepower deficit, the Pacifica Hybrid behaves much like its gas-only counterpart. Handling is on par with other minivans, as is its comfortable ride and relatively quiet interior at highway speeds. An [Odyssey](https://www.autolist.com/honda-odyssey) is still slightly more responsive in turns, but the Chrysler should feel familiar to those who’ve driven minivans and large three-row SUVs in recent years.

That said, the Pacifica Hybrid’s drivetrain isn’t the smoothest. While the vehicle is quiet when running on electric-only power, it stumbles more as a hybrid when transitioning between the V6 and the electric motor. It also lacks the ability to set it to an electric-only mode or preserve that range for in-town use rather than energy-heavy highway driving, unlike the [XC90](https://www.autolist.com/volvo-xc90-recharge+eawd+r+design).

However, the Pacifica Hybrid’s powertrain is stronger than the Sienna Hybrid’s four-cylinder and electric motor hybrid system, which performs adequately enough in city driving but can strain up hills with a full load of passengers or cargo. And Chrysler’s V6 is better able to keep the CVT from straining and becoming noisy, which can be a problem in the Toyota.

#### Safety Features: 4/5 stars

![2022-chrysler-pacifica-plug-in-hybrid-safety-image](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/CM5Wob9f44xsu1rZ1eEys/f95899aa3e60f97224b532a6462a8d11/2022-chrysler-pacifica-plug-in-hybrid-safety-image.jpg)

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rated the 2022 [Pacifica](https://www.autolist.com/chrysler-pacifica) (and related [Chrysler Voyager](https://www.autolist.com/chrysler-voyager)) models as a Top Safety Pick+ in its evaluations, the highest score. All 2022 minivans but the Voyager and Kia Carnival earned a Top Safety Pick+ score from IIHS. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gave the 2022 Pacifica Hybrid the highest five-star rating in overall testing.

Every Pacifica Hybrid comes standard with automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, and adaptive cruise control with a stop-and-go assist. The vehicle-to-vehicle crash prevention systems earned the highest Superior rating, while the vehicle-to-pedestrian avoidance was evaluated as the second-highest Advanced.

A 360-degree camera and front parking sensors are also standard, while a rear-seat reminder alert is new for 2022.

#### Value: 3/5 stars

![2022-chrysler-pacifica-plug-in-hybrid-value-image](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/5btXkMyvaWK8LGM0ndNrdx/3a1f51573238bb7752db1d0448b5a468/2022-chrysler-pacifica-plug-in-hybrid-value-image.jpg)

The Pacifica Hybrid starts at a lofty $49,000 and rises to nearly $58,000 for the loaded Pinnacle model. That’s significantly more expensive than a $34,000 [Kia Carnival](https://www.autolist.com/kia-carnival), $35,000 7-passenger [Ford Transit Connect](https://www.autolist.com/ford-transit+connect), $37,000 [Toyota Sienna hybrid](https://www.autolist.com/toyota-sienna), and $39,000 [Honda Odyssey](https://www.autolist.com/honda-odyssey). It’s also about $7,000 more expensive than the corresponding gas-only Pacifica Touring L.

However, the Pacifica Hybrid qualifies for the current federal tax credit for plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles, which might make it less expensive than certain versions of its rivals, including the gas-only Pacifica. Because of its battery size and electric-only range, it’s eligible for the full $7,500 credit, unlike most PHEVs that only qualify for a portion of that. State, local, and utility company rebates may also apply depending on your residence.

Every Pacifica Hybrid is also more generously equipped than base versions of other minivans, with standard leather upholstery, power sliding doors with a power liftgate, rain-sensing wipers, three-zone automatic climate control, driver’s seat memory settings, and the aforementioned driver assistance and safety features. Limited models add built-in navigation, hands-free operation for the sliding doors and liftgate, and a panoramic moonroof, while the Pinnacle gets higher-grade leather upholstery, and rear-seat entertainment with a Blu-ray DVD player, and window shades for the second and third rows.

#### Tech Features: 4/5 stars

![2022-chrysler-pacifica-plug-in-hybrid-tech-image](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/6CoNHxzrnP4vilZzDwgvJN/83000cbad2cfe2c71875c21d1102e355/2022-chrysler-pacifica-plug-in-hybrid-tech-image.jpg)

Typical of minivans, the Pacifica Hybrid offers lots of tech features to satisfy drivers and passengers on long road trips. Standard on the Pinnacle and available on other trims, the UConnect Theater includes two flip-up monitors mounted in the front seatbacks for second-row passengers, HDMI and USB ports, and a 115-volt household-style power outlet for video games. Amazon Fire TV is also included.

Chrysler’s UConnect 5 infotainment system is relatively intuitive and was upgraded for 2021 with a 10.1-inch touchscreen display, one of the largest around. It’s relatively intuitive and includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, although Kia’s system works a little more smoothly. Built-in navigation and SiriusXM connected services come standard on Limited and Pinnacle, while they’re options on the Touring L.

#### Practicality: 4/5 stars

![2022-chrysler-pacifica-plug-in-hybrid-practicality-image](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/7w7Ff4OqDEoZkc5T3CGEkZ/48bd29fb721dc99e38e075795f8b1a4c/2022-chrysler-pacifica-plug-in-hybrid-practicality-image.jpg)

With 32 cubic feet of cargo space with the third-row seat up and 140.5 behind the front seats, the Pacifica Hybrid has more space than the [Sienna](https://www.autolist.com/toyota-sienna) and [Transit Connect](https://www.autolist.com/ford-transit+connect) and about the same as a [Carnival](https://www.autolist.com/kia-carnival) or [Odyssey](https://www.autolist.com/honda-odyssey). It doesn’t lose any space to the gas-only Pacifica, either, even with the addition of the battery pack and hybrid mechanicals.

That said, the Pacifica Hybrid’s sacrifice over the standard Pacifica is the Stow ‘n Go system that allows both the second and third-row seats to fold into the floor and is replaced by a split third-row seat that folds away, but the second-row captain’s chairs that must be removed. The bins on the floor for more cargo with the seats in place are also gone, and the chairs themselves are heavy. But they’re easier to remove and install than the chairs in the [Carnival](https://www.autolist.com/kia-carnival) and [Odyssey](https://www.autolist.com/honda-odyssey), and they’re not supposed to be removed at all in the [Sienna](https://www.autolist.com/toyota-sienna).

Another sacrifice is that the Pacifica Hybrid is front-wheel-drive only, whereas both the gas-only Pacifica and the Sienna offer all-wheel-drive (AWD) as an option, and it’s standard on the PHEV SUVs. The Pacifica Hybrid is also not recommended for towing, unlike the standard Pacifica and its maximum of 3,600 pounds, Sienna’s 3,500-pound max, and the 5,000 pound maximum on the Volvo and 5,600 for the Lincoln. And the Chrysler is a strict seven-seater whereas the [Sienna](https://www.autolist.com/toyota-sienna), [Odyssey](https://www.autolist.com/honda-odyssey), and [Carnival](https://www.autolist.com/kia-carnival) can seat up to eight.

Compared to an [Aviator](https://www.autolist.com/lincoln-aviator) or [XC90 PHEV](https://www.autolist.com/volvo-xc90-recharge+eawd+r+design), the Pacifica Hybrid has roughly double the space behind the third row and with all the seats folded. That means it’s going to be tricky for six or seven passengers to also bring all of their luggage.

---

#### Styling & Design: 4/5 stars

![2022-chrysler-pacifica-plug-in-hybrid-styling-image](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/Y8HcpX8L1xwv1koYHI1KS/af3684101d1d835661a9fb67626da065/2022-chrysler-pacifica-plug-in-hybrid-styling-image.jpg)

Since its introduction six years ago and after a 2021 update, the Pacifica has strived and mostly succeeded to be one of the more stylish minivans. It’s still unmistakable as one, but at least Chrysler admits to what it really is (unlike Kia’s “multi-purpose vehicle” claims for the [Carnival](https://www.autolist.com/kia-carnival)). And for those who aren’t interested in their plug-in hybrid looking different from a standard vehicle, the only significant change for the hybrid models is the charge door in front of the driver’s door.

Material quality is generally pretty good inside as the Chrysler comes standard with leather upholstery that gets more high-quality with each trim level, topping out with the Pinnacle’s diamond-stitched brown Nappa leather with second-row throw pillows. While certain plastics don’t feel like they belong in a nearly $60,000 vehicle, the Pacifica Hybrid generally feels more upscale than the Sienna and Odyssey and certainly more than the utilitarian [Transit Connect](https://www.autolist.com/ford-transit+connect).

The Pacifica Hybrid does well with storage, however, as there are cupholders seemingly everywhere and excellent storage for small items. While the second-row seats don’t fold into the floor, they’re more comfortable than on the gas-only Pacifica. The third row has an odd angle that might feel odd for taller adults, but it’s still worlds better than the rearmost seats in an [Aviator](https://www.autolist.com/lincoln-aviator) or [XC90](https://www.autolist.com/volvo-xc90-recharge+eawd+r+design) or any other three-row crossover.

#### Fuel Efficiency: 4/5 stars

![2022-chrysler-pacifica-plug-in-hybrid-fuel-image](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/1LR5TmUhyhU65Qry49sKQ6/c65f8eddc26b8b62e0a19bb897e731e3/2022-chrysler-pacifica-plug-in-hybrid-fuel-image.jpg)

The Pacifica Hybrid is rated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at 30 mpg combined city/highway when using only gasoline, 82 MPGe (the electric equivalent of MPG) when only on the battery, and up to 32 miles of electric-only range when on a full charge. It’s also estimated to have a total fuel range of 520 miles. That compares to 22 mpg combined and 418 miles for a front-wheel-drive, gas-only Pacifica.

However, the hybrid-only [Toyota Sienna](https://www.autolist.com/toyota-sienna) is rated at up to 36 mpg combined and 648 miles on a full tank of gas. The [Carnival](https://www.autolist.com/kia-carnival) and [Odyssey](https://www.autolist.com/honda-odyssey) are both at 22 mpg and the Transit Connect does 26 mpg with its four-cylinder engine. Meanwhile, the [Volvo XC90 Recharge PHEV](https://www.autolist.com/volvo-xc90-recharge+eawd+r+design) gets a combined 26 mpg and up to 36 miles on a full battery, and the [Lincoln Aviator PHEV](https://www.autolist.com/lincoln-aviator) has 23 mpg and 21-mile electric range.

#### What’s it Going to Cost Me?

![2022-chrysler-pacifica-plug-in-hybrid-cost-image](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/6wG6n55eBPDFZ3TmSFQtp4/58f968e63d40fe6ae6a71d8a3e09db8f/2022-chrysler-pacifica-plug-in-hybrid-cost-image.jpg)

The 2022 Pacifica Hybrid comes in three trim levels: Touring L, Limited, and Pinnacle. Prices start from $49,095 MSRP and rise to $57,645 including destination charge but before any EV incentives. Every Pacifica Hybrid is powered by a 3.6-liter V6 and two electric motors for a combined output of 260 horsepower, with front-wheel-drive and an eCVT.

The __Pacifica Hybrid Touring L__ starts from $49,095. Standard features include 17-inch alloy wheels, privacy glass, LED headlights and taillights, automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers, fog lights, leather upholstery, 8-way power driver’s seat with memory settings, 4-way adjustable driver’s lumbar support, three-zone automatic climate control, auto-dimming rearview mirror, keyless entry, and push-button start, a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, and an observation mirror. Technology features include a 7-inch TFT vehicle information screen in the instrument panel, a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, SiriusXM satellite radio, Bluetooth hands-free phone and streaming audio, first and second-row USB ports, 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, and a six-speaker audio system.

Driver assistance and safety features include automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, a 360-degree surround-view camera, front and rear parking sensors with reverse automatic braking, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and lane-departure warning, parking assist, remote engine start, and a rear-seat occupant reminder.

The optional UConnect Theater Family Group includes two 10.1-inch monitors for the second row, Amazon Fire TV compatibility, USB and HDMI ports, a 115-volt power outlet, 13-speaker Alpine audio system, hands-free operation for the sliding doors and liftgate, built-in navigation, SiriusXM connected services, an 8-way power front passenger’s seat with lumbar adjustment, and the FamCam interior camera to monitor rear-seat passengers.

And the S Appearance Package includes darkened 18-inch alloy wheels, anodized matte finishes for the exterior, piano black interior trim, and perforated leather upholstery.

The __Pacifica Hybrid Limited__ starts from $54,095. It adds power-folding exterior mirrors with reverse tilt-down, auto-dimming driver’s side exterior mirror, chrome exterior trim, hands-free power sliding doors, a power liftgate, 8-way power front passenger’s seat with power-adjustable lumbar support, ventilated front seats, panoramic moonroof with a power-operated shade, wireless smartphone charging pad, built-in navigation system with SiriusXM connected services, and a 20-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.

The S Appearance Package and UConnect Theater Family Group are also available on the Limited.

Finally, the top __Pacifica Hybrid Pinnacle__ starts from $57,645. It includes polished 18-inch wheels, matte chrome exterior trim, diamond-stitched Nappa leather upholstery, an expanded front center console, second and third-row window shades, luxury floor mats, and suede headliner, and the UConnect Theater Family Group. There are no options other than metallic paint.

If it were our money, we’d stick with the Limited. It includes many desirable features and EV incentives can drop the price to a competitive level with other minivans and mainstream three-row SUVs. As nice as the Pinnacle is, it probably won’t sway customers coming from luxury PHEV SUVs.
