Chrysler Updates Their 2022 Lineup With New Tech Including Amazon Fire TV

Chrysler is rolling into the 2022 model year with an assortment of updates across their lineup.

Starting with the 300, the model now comes equipped with a new air filtration system that promises to filter out 95% of particulates. This should significantly reduce the amount of dust, smoke and aerosols in the cabin.

Additional changes are limited, but the mid-level 300 Touring L gains a newly standard Sport Appearance package with a sportier front fascia, LED fog lights and Black Noise accents. The model also rides on 20-inch wheels with a Black Noise finish.

Likewise, the 300S gains additional standard equipment including GPS navigation, a panoramic sunroof, and a nine-speaker premium audio system with a trunk-mounted subwoofer.

While the 300 retains its old-school Uconnect 4C infotainment system, the 2022 Voyager gains an all-new Uconnect 5 infotainment system with a 7-inch display. It boasts enhanced processing power, more customization and an improved interface. Other highlights include voice recognition technology, over-the-air updates, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Besides the new infotainment system, the Voyager drops the entry-level L trim and now comes standard with power sliding doors, a power liftgate and second-row Stow ‘n Go seats. There’s also a new air filtration system, a revised color palette, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel.

Customers can also order a new Safety and Premium Group, which combines driver assistance systems with a larger 10.1-inch infotainment system featuring GPS navigation and Sirius XM 360L. The package also includes blind-spot monitoring, rear park assist, rear cross path detection, and full-speed forward collision warning-plus with pedestrian automatic emergency braking.

That brings us to the 2022 Pacifica, which features more extensive updates. One of the biggest is the availability of a rear seat entertainment system with Amazon Fire TV. The system features Alexa voice remotes and two 10.1-inch displays, which enable passengers to watch streaming video via a 4G Wi-Fi hotspot. 16 GB of built-in storage also means there will be plenty to watch even without a cellular connection.

The Pacifica also gains additional standard equipment in the form of a rear seat reminder and the aforementioned air filtration system. There’s also a new Silver Mist exterior color and updated messaging in the Pacifica Hybrid.

Furthermore, the Pacifica Touring now comes standard with heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. One step up, the Pacifica Touring L gains additional safety features such as front park assist, parallel / perpendicular park assist and a 360° surround view monitor. The Pacifica Limited receives the aforementioned safety equipment as well as a Harmon Kardon premium audio system. Lastly, the range-topping Pacifica Pinnacle now comes equipped with the Trailer Tow Group on non-hybrid models.
