Is the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica the Greatest Mini-Van Ever Made?

Is the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica the Greatest Mini-Van Ever Made?

It is quite a boast, but at Caledon Chrysler, we believe that the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica could just be the greatest minivan ever made. There have been some darn good ones made throughout the years including any number from the minivan originators at Chrysler. We feel confident in making such a claim thanks to a combination of what this innovative minivan offers and how our customers are responding to owning and driving all five trim levels of the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica. Let's take a closer look at how we came to our conclusion.

Power To Spare

Right out of the box, the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica is easily one of the most powerful minivans ever. Thanks to its standard 3.6L V6 24V this VVT DOHC engine delivers 287 horsepower at 6400 rpm and 262 lb.-ft. of torque at 4000 rpm. When paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission, you get full control, lots of performance, and even great fuel economy with 12.9 L/100km city and 8.4 L/100km highway.* To add even more efficiency to your powerful minivan there is an available hybrid Pentastar engine that makes the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid the industry's first electrified minivan. On top of all this performance, you can seat eight passengers comfortably and tow up to 1633 kg depending on the trim level.

Great Ride

A smooth ride is never guaranteed with a minivan, but the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica breaks the mold.  The front anti-roll bar, gas-pressurized shock absorbers, strut front and trailing arm rear suspension with coil springs works great with the standard Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and four-wheel ABS disc brakes to give you and up to nine passengers a reliable and safe ride.

Safe and Secure

Since most of our customers at Caledon Chrysler purchase a minivan for transport their family and friends, safety is a major concern. The outstanding 2017 Chrysler Pacifica is packed with many of the most advanced safety features. As far as airbags, you and your passengers are surrounded by multistage front airbags, supplemental front seat-mounted side airbags, driver and passenger knee airbags. Technology like the Parkview pear back-up camera, sliding door-alert warning, and an optional Blind Spot Monitoring System, help you and all those around you stay safe. If you add front crash protection, the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica becomes a 2016 IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award.

Beautiful Inside and Out

Performance and safety make for a good minivan, but it's the technology and comfort features that make the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica great. All trims come standard with Integrated Voice Command with Bluetooth, active noise cancellation, Uconnect 5.0 system, six speakers and wireless streaming. To take it to the next level, and so that your passengers never get bored, we suggest checking out the innovative Uconnect Theatre system that offers second-row passengers dual 10-inch front seatback-mounted touchscreens that display Blu-Ray, DVD, USB or HDMI sourced media.

We could spend all day listing the features on the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica, but the only way to prove that it is the greatest minivan ever made is by taking a test-drive. To schedule one, please call or email Caledon Chrysler today. While you're here, don't forget to ask about all our new and pre-owned cars, trucks, SUVs, and minivans.
