2017 Chrysler Pacifica: Minivan Meets Plug-In Hybrid

After more than 30 years of producing the Chrysler Town and Country FCA has decided to shift gears in the minivan segment, introducing the all-new 2017 Chrysler Pacifica at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The nameplate may sound familiar, as it represented Chrysler’s mid-size crossover from 2003-2007. There will be two powertrain options available, including a V6 gasoline engine with a 9-speed automatic transmission and a class-exclusive hybrid option. At Kelley Blue Book we watched hybrid consideration drop in 2015, but automakers have to invest in this technology for regulatory reasons and Chrysler needs to up its alternative fuel effort.
