Getting To Know 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid

If you are an active reader of the Caledon Chrysler blog, you know that we recently took a quick look at the exciting new 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid and how you could utilize Ontario's EVIP rebate program to $14,000. While that is all great news, we thought that you, and the unique 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid, deserved a more exhaustive in-depth look at North America's first hybrid minivan.

Under the Hood and Beyond

Unlike the minivans of the past, the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid was created to offer both performance and fuel-efficiency. Available in both a Premium and Platinum trim, the front-wheel drive 2017 Chrysler Pacifica is equipped with a modified 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 gas engine that features a unique nine-speed dual-motor eFlite Electrically Variable Transmission. To create the hybrid power, you get a 16 kW lithium-ion battery pack that allows the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid to get an estimated electric driving range of up to 48 kilometres, 850 kilometres of total range, and 2.9 Le/100km (97 MPGe) in city driving.*  When it comes to charging the battery, owners get a standard 120-volt Level I charger that usually achieves a full charge in about 14 hours. However, if you add the available 240-volt Level II charger from Mopar, then instantly cut down the charging time to a quick two hours. On top of this, it also helps that the battery self-charges via regenerative braking and is covered under warranty up to 10-years/160,000 kilometres.

 

Safety, Comfort, and Connectivity

Because most of our customers buy or lease a minivan to transport their friends and family, the experts at Caledon Chrysler know that safety and security are as important as getting great fuel-efficiency. Therefore, we are happy to report that the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid not only seats up to seven comfortably, it is also built with a dual-phase frame that utilizes roughly 65% high-strength steel that maximizes stiffness and strength for vehicle dynamics and crash performance. Like the gas-only 2017 Chrysler Pacifica, you get four-wheel ABS brakes, supplemental front seat-mounted side airbags, driver and passenger knee airbags, and multistage front airbags. If you step up to the exclusive Platinum trim, you get the advanced SafetyTec Group standard, which includes LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist, Surround-View Camera, Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, and Adaptive Cruise Control.
