Marino Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram
No matter where around Chicago, Elmwood Park, and Park Ridge, IL you travel, you're likely to see a minivan along your commute. While modern design and intuitive amenities have helped boost their popularity, it's the practical, family-focused features of models like the Chrysler Pacifica that truly set them apart from the competition.
Chrysler, the inventor of the modern minivan in the 1980s, continues to be the leading manufacturer of minivans in the U.S. Whether you're a full-time parent, a part-time soccer coach, or a band parent, you'll love what you read in Marino CDJR's review of the Chrysler Pacifica. With its spacious, configurable cabin, the Pacifica has something that everyone will love.
The Chrysler Pacifica and the Honda Odyssey share many similarities beyond their size: same engine, similar horsepower, and exact same fuel economy. Basics aside, you'll want to know how well each model keeps you and your crew engaged and entertained. Either model would function well as your next people mover, although the Pacifica brings far more family fun to its function. *

When shoppers come in looking for a family vehicle that can handle carpool lines, road trips, and everything in between, the Chrysler Pacifica consistently makes their list for how easily it adapts to real life. It's a minivan where space, comfort, and practicality come together in a way families notice the moment they step inside.
The Chrysler Pacifica is offered in four trim levels: LX, Select, Limited, and Pinnacle. Each trim builds on the last, adding comfort, convenience, and technology features to suit a range of family needs. From the well-equipped LX to the premium Pinnacle, the Pacifica blends practicality with upscale design and modern versatility, remaining one of the most versatile minivans in its class.
Tackling school drop-offs, heading to away games, and packing up for the annual family vacation is as effortless as it is enjoyable. The Chrysler Pacifica makes every drive, whether it's a smooth ride through city streets, a quiet stretch on the highway, or a packed cabin full of gear, comfortable and convenient, and it all starts with these standard features:
Third-row access is made simple with Easy Tilt seating, which slides the second-row seat forward to provide ample walkaround room. Speaking of that rear row, the Pacifica's class-exclusive available Stow 'n Go® Seating and Storage System folds into the floor to offer more cargo room or accommodate larger items. Plus, you can easily sweep up dropped snacks and other daily dirt with the available Stow 'n Vac® Integrated Vacuum.
When part of your daily to-do list involves people moving, you'll love that the Chrysler Pacifica eliminates uncertainty with its spacious cabin. This minivan can transport up to eight riders. With 165 cubic feet of passenger space split between three rows, you'll hear fewer grumbles since there's plenty of room for everyone.
| 1st Row | 2nd Row | 3rd Row | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Headroom | 40.1 inches | 39.6 inches | 38.7 inches |
| Legroom | 41.1 inches | 39 inches | 36.5 inches |
No two days are the same. Depending on who, and what, you're transporting, the Pacifica adapts to every situation. It offers up to 243 seating configurations and a range of 32.3 to 140.5 cubic feet of cargo space to accommodate your ever-changing passenger-to-cargo ratio.
All-wheel drive is available on the Select, Limited, and Pinnacle trim levels for added traction in changing road and weather conditions. The LX trim level comes standard with front-wheel drive, supporting efficiency-focused performance. This gives buyers a clear choice between added capability and standard setup depending on trim, with AWD reserved for the upper three trims in the lineup.
The Chrysler Pacifica is an economical on-road companion, ensuring you can go the extra mile—and then some. Its powertrain yields a standard EPA-estimated 19 city/28 highway MPG rating. With its 19-gallon tank, you'll be able to travel over 530 miles before pulling up to the pump to refuel.
The built-in start-stop engine function can help preserve fuel when navigating traffic. When the Pacifica comes to a complete stop, the engine will automatically disengage, minimizing the fuel used when idling. When the light changes or traffic starts moving, transfer your foot to the gas pedal, and the engine will restart without additional prompting.
Speaking of the engine, the Pacifica is ready to impress. While performance may not be a top priority, you'll love the extra pep found in the 3.6L V6 engine's capabilities. Its 287 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque enhance each ride with a dose of excitement. Plus, the 9-speed automatic transmission helps with highway travel. The seamless gear changes offer a more dynamic throttle response, making lane changes and merges a breeze.
The Chrysler Pacifica's efficiency helps you make light work out of your daily duties. The enhanced capability of this minivan helps make every adventure one for the books. The Pacifica can go beyond the asphalt with available all-wheel drive. We're talking gravel, dirt, grass, sandy shore, and more—the Chrysler Pacifica is ready to get its wheels dirty.
When properly equipped, this minivan shows its might with its 3,600-pound maximum towing capacity. What can you pull with that weight? Here are a few examples:
No matter where your day may take you, the Pacifica has the power and stability needed to go anywhere with the extra gear your schedule may call for.
The Chrysler Pacifica comes with a limited manufacturer's warranty that includes a 36-month/36,000-mile Basic warranty, a 60-month/60,000-mile Powertrain warranty, and a 60-month/unlimited-mile Corrosion Perforation warranty. Roadside Assistance is also included for 60 months or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, helping support drivers with added peace of mind through everyday ownership and longer journeys alike.
Your friends refer to you as a superhero parent and marvel at your ability to always be a phone call away. Your secret? The Chrysler Pacifica. Even when you're out running errands or commuting to an out-of-town business meeting, you're always connected, and it's all thanks to the Pacifica's advanced standard and available tech features, including:
When your family joins you on your drive, the available Theater Group and the Harman Kardon® Premium Audio System enhance every ride. The former is crucial on long trips, as the dual 10-inch HD displays let back-row passengers play games, stream videos, and more via built-in Amazon Fire TV. The best part is that, up front, the 19 speakers provide crisp, immersive audio of your favorite songs.
Of course, the most important technologies are those features that help keep you safe. With built-in sensors, the Chrysler Pacifica acts as a second set of eyes, alerting you to potential hazards you may have missed and assisting with steering and braking when conditions are met. Some of the several confidence-inducing safety systems include:
For the latest model year, the Pacific further adds available Turn Signal-Activated Blind Spot View, which shows a live camera feed of your blind spot on the central 10.1-inch Uconnect touchscreen when a turn signal is used. ParkSense® Based Camera Activation can also trigger the rear camera through Rear Park Assist alerts, helping you see obstacles behind the vehicle when reversing.
Now that you've learned a bit more about the Chrysler Pacifica, you know it's not your grandparents' minivan. It's more than merely a people mover—it's a people pleaser, and that applies to everyone on board.
