The 2023 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid can save you money at the pump, but it will dictate exactly how you do it.

Minivans have gotten a bad rap. Many folks think of them as boring, nondescript family vehicles that signal the end of one’s carefree youth. In truth, they are often a better choice than a hulking SUV for moving gear and people. Case in point is the 2023 Chrysler Pacifica, particularly the plug-in hybrid version. This minivan is extra efficient and has plenty of tech and comforts. However, our tester compromises a bit on some key features and is priced way above its competitors.
8/10

For 2023, the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivan is available in Touring L, Limited and Pinnacle trims. For this review we’ve got the mid-trim Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Limited with the S Appearance Package. This adds body-coloured door handles and exterior mirrors, gloss black surround on the grille and black badging and accents scattered about. The exterior is topped off with 18-inch wheels. Chrysler says they have a “Foreshadow” finish, but we’ll just call them black.

Up front, the split grille is surrounded by standard LED headlamps, and we like the LED tail lamps that span the entire width of rear. Although minivans don't have the cool cachet of an SUV, they're a more practical choice. As we noted in our review of the Chrylser Pacifica Hybrid last year, this minivan is essentially the same vehicle as an SUV, but it's equipped with helpful sliding doors and more cargo space.

If you want anything but a black interior, you’ll need to upgrade to the top trim. That’s not to say the Limited’s interior is bad, it’s just dark. The Nappa leather seats are handsome and the dash features a few sweeping lines, giving the interior a sophisticated notion. We like the chunky HVAC and audio knobs, but it’s possible to confuse them with the transmission selector dial, as the two controls are situated pretty close to one another.

You can also find her in the dirt in her 2001 lifted Mazda Miata or racing air-cooled Volkswagens in races like the Baja 1000. She was the first driver to take an electric vehicle to the Rebelle Rally when she campaigned the Rivian R1T, earning a top-five finish.

We rented one of these from Avis for our road trip to Tucson, Az. and we loved it. got phenomenal fuel mileage and was comfortable all the 5 days we were in it. Some of the tech features we could do without. Overall we loved it. Looking for one to buy at this point.Mar 24, 2024

We rented a Pacifica Hybrid in Seattle and drove it back to Arkansas over 10 days, stopping to visit old friends, and see sights. We drove in all sorts of traffic, landscape and weather, down the west coast, through southern UT, NM, TX. 3800 miles and got close to 40 mpg. It performed as good as any of the Caravans and Town & Country vehicles we have had over 35 years. Love the versatility and the Hybrid is much quieter than the others. Wish they would come out with a hydrogen fuel cell model!Jan 14, 2024
