2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid: Choosing the Right Trim

Other than the availability of Amazon Fire TV, the 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid returns without any notable changes.

Still the only plug-in hybrid (PHEV) among today’s minivan offerings, the Pacifica Hybrid provides an estimated 30 miles or more of electric-only range.

Integrated through the Uconnect 5 and Uconnect Theater, Amazon Fire TV delivers passengers’ favorite shows, movies, and Alexa to Pacifica’s cabin.

We like the Pacifica hybrid for its electric-only capability, comfy and spacious cabin, quiet operation, and cutting-edge technology.

Sadly, picking the Pacifica PHEV over the gasoline model eliminates the Stow ‘n Go seating.

Chrysler offers the Pacifica Hybrid in Touring L, Limited, and Pinnacle grades.

Pacifica’s hybrid system consists of a 3.6-liter V6, two electric motors, and a battery pack. Its combined output is 260 horsepower.

An automatic transmission sends power to the front wheels. All-wheel drive (AWD) isn’t available.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) assesses vehicles that can run on battery power alone with a formula called miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe).

Estimating the Pacifica Hybrid’s electric-only mileage, the EPA puts it at 82 MPGe. Otherwise, it’s 30 miles per gallon city, 29 mpg on the highway, and 30 mpg in combined driving.

We detail the gasoline version of the Pacifica elsewhere.
