Reviews Summary | |
Reviews SummaryThe Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid remains a great option for families who want the benefits of electrification without adopting a fully electric-vehicle lifestyle. Introduced for the 2017 model year and essentially unchanged for 2024, the Pacifica Hybrid is the only minivan available in Canada with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. That gives it an emissions advantage over the rival Honda Odyssey, Kia Carnival, and Toyota Sienna. Verdict: A plug-in hybrid powertrain enhances a well-executed minivan. The Pacifica Hybrid is a niche choice, but we like it. | |
