We're in our 70's, knee replacements and all, and our grandkids live 1000 miles away. A mini-van was the perfect choice for us to haul stuff across the country for our family. We love our mini-van! Our first mini-van was when our kids were little, now it's just the circle of life.

All jokes aside, a minivan is the Swiss Army knife of the auto industry.

I’d take this over any three row crossover any day. The amount of usable cargo room, leg space, and practicality that a minivan offers you is unmatched.

Minivans are the best vehicles you can buy when it comes to function. It’s just that none of us want to admit that we like them.

AGREED. I can only tell you what our experience has been, after completing our 3-year lease on a 2021 AWD Pacifica, ending in March 2024. We're trading our gas powered Pacifica (getting 21.5 mpg) tomorrow for a 2023 hybrid Touring L Pacifica. We're in our 70s, so of course we're going to complain about the steep price, as it costs almost as much as our house did years ago. My wife and I have since retired and like to take day-trips throughout the countryside, driving mostly back roads at posted speed limits. We get to see more that way and frequently pull aside to let people pass. The lease was for 15,000 miles/year, but we averaged 20,000 miles a year. Since we are trading in our Pacifica and re-leasing, there was no penalty for exceeding the mileage limit by 16,000 miles. Bottom line, we absolutely LOVE our existing Pacifica and really hate to see it go as a trade in. We considered buying the Pacifica for the (predetermined) payoff price of $24,578.86, as it would eliminate the monthly payment, but we find the hybrid option attractive. (BTW - the bank advised us the price is only for us. I don't know why, but any dealership taking it in trade would have to pay significantly more. Not sure if the dealer taking our Pacifica in trade actually has to pay extra amount, however the finance guy mentioned the dealership is no longer using this bank.) Ok, I WAS leery about the historical performance of Chrysler vehicles, but figured the 60,000 mile warrantee would cover any issues and we have come to trust this dealership and its maintenance department. We have the Pacifica routinely serviced there. Well, the only issue we had was a creaking front end, that started around 30,000 miles, and the creaking sound was only in cold weather, when fully turning the steering wheel to back out of our driveway. The dealership has since fixed the issue under warrantee. Other than this one issue, there have been NO OTHER PROBLEMS. Kudos to Chrysler for giving us an exceptional lease experience. After 61,000 miles we can honestly report: the ride has been very comfortable, plenty of leg room, sporty, heated steering and seats, adequate pickup power, excellent 4' x 8' cargo capacity, roomy seating for 7 people, numerous helpful safety features, and I personally find the Pacifica is a sexy vehicle to boot! As a result, we are looking forward to leasing another Pacifica tomorrow to continue exploring the wonders of CT, MA and RI, now with a gas saving Pacifica Touring L hybrid.

These are the best rental cars for family vacations.

Just ordered one yesterday (Touring-L with black S interior). Great video - I love how you hit the key points quickly (that a lot of the other 2021 Pacifica reviews seem to miss). Two small points - the hands-free doors doesn't mean hit the button on the remote like you show (all trims have that) - it means you can open by placing your foot underneath the sliding doors or rear door if your hands are full. You mention that the hybrid doesn't have 2nd row stow-n-go which is correct, but the Pinnacle trim also does not have 2nd row stow-n-go. The upgraded, bucket second row seats in the Pinnacle are too big - but the storage is still there under the floor for whatever else you want.

I LOVE THAT FACT THAT THIS IS A REVIEW FOR A MINIVAN AND THIS GUY IS DEFINITELY MAKING SURE THAT HE IS TALKING TO THE YONGER PARENTS. THE 30 to 40 your olds. THIS ACTUALLY MADE GAVE ME A NEW OUTLOOK ON MINI VANS. AND THIS IS ONE I DEFINITELY WANT NOW.

I agree 100%. Plus you don’t have to climb to get inside, less blind spots, fantastic(fits adults) 3rd row and the trunk load height is low.

I’d drive this around with the second row stowed 100% of the time. Makes for some amazing leg room :-)

Here me out: Fast & the Furious, but with soccer moms. Team mini-van vs team suv. 🤣

I own a 2019 blue dodge grand caravan GT and I love it.

I looked at the website and the options available are amazing, especially the "theatre dvd video system" in the back. The black wheels with pearl black exterior colour choice makes it look so ultra cool....and ominous.

As a regular rental car that’s one of the best rental I like to get. It drives well when you push it (no passenger].

This is the best review ever! Love the comedy 🥰

Wow , this minivans came along way I still remember the 1984 Chrysler/ Plymouth Voyager 😏 Good review Micha 👍

Hello. So we have a charger scatpack, a challenger and now a 2020 Pacifica. Same as the one here in color. Except the seats. But let me tell you guys. It’s a fun vehicle to drive. Maybe I’m getting old. But oh well. We drove from Arizona to Illinois down to Florida and back. Enjoyed the U S of A in style. If you’re looking for a van. This is it.

I'm currently renting this vehicle. It's so spacious. Also very smooth suspension compare to my Nissan Frontier. Everything is so modern , including the digital displays and excellent android blutooth capability for phone calls.

I used to hate vans, but the Chrysler Pacifica converted me its a beautiful van looks more SUV like & sporty. I love the how spacious ot is & the black rims, black details, red leather seats & that matte dark gray color. Everything is lovely & appealing to me,. I want one & am planning on getting it this summer.

how many miles are these good for?

Im 17 and i like this Car. Not because the exterior but the Interieur With this funktions Are Reallohn nice.

That red is crazy

Those Dual Screens would also be nice on the 3rd Row.

This is the top option in the minivan segment

I want one now and I don’t have kids but I do spend a lot of time with my family.

The exterior styling on the previous Pacifica was more flowing and elegant, the new one is rather generic. Also its best to order, drop the vacuum and get the spare tire kit. Get a flat in the middle of nowhere or late at night and you will understand the importance of an actual spare. The gunk they give you only works for a small puncture, if that. The Sienna is a quality vehicle but unfortunately the front end looks like somebody glued on a vacuum cleaner nozzle. But hands down mini vans make way more sense for a family than a crossover or SUV. It is a roomier, capable vehicle and it costs less that most crossovers or SUV's. I just don't understand the stigma attached to them and why people care so much what other think about them. Is not safety and comfort and capability more important?

The plug-in version with awd and stow n go seats would be perfect!

Micah, if you and Evie were going to have more kids, this would be a great vehicle for her, especially with the AWD.

Seems to have a lot more choices than the Sienna. As far as quality, we have a Sienna Limited and have had over $7000 worth of work done on it, fortunately most of it covered under the extended warranty.

So.... What trim is the model shown, and what packages does it came with? Also, how much as shown? I totally dig that minivan.

Never understood the "hate" of minivans. They do almost everything better than a CUV/SUV. And anyone who thinks most SUV's are sporty are fooling themselves. I'd take the new Sienna over any SUV.

Had the last version. It was a gremlin filled stressful mess. The only good things where the stereo and surround view camera. The ride was to bouncy. Mpg felt like I was driving a Army truck. Most of all the touchscreen failed numerous times in two years. The touchscreen controls everything from taking calls to ac and cameras. I was so frustrated I contacted the company and vowed to never own another Chrysler product. They lost a customer with me. Paid it off and got a Toyota Sienna.

Hi everyone I just got a 2021 Pacifica s and I absolutely love it and I don't have any children I do Uber and Lyft for a living so the more space for my passengers also I was wondering with the DVDs can you download other games to the games in the back just wondering thank you
