2026 Chrysler Pacifica

Chrysler assembles the Pacifica at its Windsor plant in Ontario, and the 2026 edition continues to stand alone in its segment with two powertrain paths and room for up to eight. Gas trims run a 3.6-litre Pentastar V-6 making 287 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque, routed through a nine-speed automatic transmission. The Plug-in Hybrid swaps that configuration for a 3.6-litre Atkinson cycle V-6 linked to a dual-motor electrically variable transmission that allows pure electric operation -- a capability no other minivan offers. Five trims fill the lineup: Select, Plug-in Hybrid Select, Limited, Pinnacle, and Plug-in Hybrid Pinnacle. Available all-wheel drive on gas models provides added stability for northern BC driving, where Highway 97 can shift from dry pavement to packed snow within minutes. Across the board, standard content covers LED headlamps, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Blind-spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path detection, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and the Uconnect 5 system delivering wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on a 10.1-inch touchscreen.

What's New on the 2026 Chrysler Pacifica?

Exterior

Every trim wears automatic LED headlamps with auto high-beam control, LED daytime running lamps, and LED fog lamps -- a layout that pays dividends during Prince George's long winter nights and frequent early-morning fog. Grille treatments differ across the lineup: Select and Limited display a black insert bordered by a bright surround, while Pinnacle trims present a Platinum Chrome surround for a more polished front-end appearance. Body-colour door handles trace both sides of the body. Select, Plug-in Hybrid Select, and Limited include standard power-sliding doors; Pinnacle and Plug-in Hybrid Pinnacle upgrade to hands-free units that respond to a foot motion below the door opening. Rain-sensing front wipers adapt to changing conditions on their own, and an acoustic windshield combined with sunscreen glass limits both road noise and solar glare.

The Pacifica stretches 5,189 mm from bumper to bumper on a 3,089 mm wheelbase. Width measures 2,022 mm, and height sits at 1,777 mm for FWD or 1,796 mm with AWD. Ground clearance is 131 mm on FWD models and 137 mm on AWD. Wheels start at 17-inch Tech Silver cast aluminum on Select FWD, shift to 18-inch Full Polish on AWD-equipped Select and Limited, and climb to 20-inch Polished with Baltic Gray Pockets on Pinnacle gas. Plug-in Hybrid Pinnacle carries dedicated 18-inch Polished wheels with Baltic Gray pockets. A dual-pane panoramic sunroof arrives standard on Limited and both Pinnacle trims, optional on Select, and packaged on Plug-in Hybrid Select. Pinnacle models cap the roofline with Stow 'n Place racks in Platinum Chrome; lower trims offer them in black when equipped.

Interior

Three-zone automatic climate control distributes warmth and cooling across all rows -- a feature that earns its keep through the central interior's temperature extremes. A Chrysler clean air filtration system and overhead ambient surround lighting are standard throughout. The driver's eight-way power seat provides four-way lumbar support and memory, set behind a 7-inch configurable digital instrument cluster and a techno leather-wrapped heated steering wheel with audio controls. Upholstery progresses from Caprice leatherette on Select to Premium Nappa leather on Limited, culminating in quilted sepia Nappa leather with second-row lumbar pillows on Pinnacle. Ventilated front seats are standard beginning at Limited and packaged on Plug-in Hybrid Select.

Chrysler's Stow 'n Go second-row bucket seats -- standard on gas Select and Limited -- sit above in-floor storage bins and fold entirely flat without removal, leaving a level cargo surface ready for lumber, furniture, or sporting equipment. Plug-in Hybrid Select and both Pinnacle trims seat second-row occupants in captain's chairs. A third-row Stow 'n Go bench folds into the floor on all configurations, and the Pinnacle gas model adds power-folding capability. Behind the third row, 914 litres of cargo space awaits. Stow the third row to open 2,477 litres, or fold both rear rows for 3,978 litres of usable volume. Grocery bag hooks on the third-row seatbacks, a locking glove box, floor tray, and lower instrument panel cubby keep everyday items organized.

Powertrain

Gas models rely on the 3.6-litre Pentastar V-6 -- a 60-degree dual overhead cam engine carrying 24 valves, variable-valve timing across intake and exhaust cams, and sequential multiport fuel injection compatible with regular 87-octane fuel. The engine delivers 287 hp at 6,400 rpm and 262 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm through the nine-speed TorqueFlite automatic, which shifts electronically and includes engine stop-start to reduce idle fuel consumption. EnerGuide fuel ratings measure 12.4/8.4/10.6 L/100 km (city/highway/combined) for FWD and 14.1/9.4/12.0 L/100 km for AWD. Gas models carry 71.9 litres of fuel capacity; Plug-in Hybrid trims hold 62.4 litres paired with the electric drive system.

Front-wheel drive is standard on Select, Plug-in Hybrid Select, Limited, and Plug-in Hybrid Pinnacle. AWD is available on Select and Limited and included on Pinnacle gas. AWD-equipped models gain a rear stabilizer bar, larger 350 x 28 mm front brake rotors, and a 3.73 final drive ratio versus FWD's 3.25 -- tangible advantages on snow-covered and gravel-surfaced roads in the Prince George region. The Trailer-tow Group, optional on Limited and Pinnacle gas, enables a towing capacity of 1,633 kg (3,600 lbs) through a Class II hitch receiver, trailer-sway damping, heavy-duty radiator, and 220-amp alternator. An available engine block heater on gas trims assists cold starts when northern BC temperatures drop well below freezing.

Technology

The Uconnect 5 system on Select's 10.1-inch touchscreen includes AM/FM radio, AUX/USB inputs, voice text reply, wireless Android Auto, wireless Apple CarPlay, HD radio, Amazon Alexa compatibility, SiriusXM 360L with Pandora, firmware over-the-air updates, and dual phone connectivity, with six speakers handling audio. Limited and higher trims gain Uconnect 5 NAV, adding TomTom navigation, Chrysler Connect, SiriusXM Traffic, and SiriusXM Travel Link. The audio path moves from an Alpine 13-speaker system on Limited to Harman Kardon 19 speakers with a 10-inch subwoofer on Pinnacle gas, and Harman Kardon 20 speakers on Plug-in Hybrid Pinnacle.

Safety equipment is thorough at every level. Standard features include Blind-spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path detection, Lane Departure Warning-Plus, ParkSense rear park assist with stop, Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking, electronic stability control, electric parking brake with Safe Hold, and tire-pressure monitoring. Airbag protection encompasses advanced multistage front units, inflatable knee blockers for driver and front passenger, front seat-mounted side airbags, and side-curtain coverage for outboard occupants across all three rows. The Uconnect Theater with wireless streaming -- standard on Pinnacle, available elsewhere -- places 10.1-inch seatback touchscreens behind the front seats with Amazon Fire TV for Auto, wireless headphones, HDMI inputs, and a Blu-ray/DVD player on Limited and Pinnacle, keeping rear passengers entertained on drives toward Jasper, Smithers, or the coast. The Safety Sphere Group, standard on both Pinnacle trims and optional on others, adds ParkSense front park assist with stop and a 360-degree surround view camera system.

Versions

Select opens the lineup carrying standard power-sliding doors, a power liftgate, LED lighting throughout, heated front seats, Caprice leatherette upholstery, the Uconnect 5 system, and a Super Console. The S Appearance package is offered on Select and Limited, featuring Anodized Ink exterior badging, Foreshadow wheels, black "S" logo seats, and a black Stow 'n Place roof rack. Limited expands content with laminated first-row glass, Premium Nappa leather, an integrated Premium console, a hands-free power liftgate, power-folding heated mirrors with auto-dimming and auto-adjust-in-reverse, footwell courtesy lamps, illuminated map pockets, rear ambient lighting, and ventilated front seats. Pinnacle completes the range with 20-inch wheels (gas), quilted sepia Nappa leather, second-row captain's chairs, the integrated Ultra console, Harman Kardon audio, standard Uconnect Theater with wireless streaming, hands-free power-sliding doors and liftgate, the complete Safety Sphere Group, chrome-capped power-folding mirrors, and a power-folding third-row bench.
