Chrysler makes just one car for the 2024 model year and appropriately, it’s a minivan. The Pacifica descends from a long line of successful Chryslers and is available in a wide range of trims. Over the next week we’ll test it out to learn more about its strengths and weaknesses. Along the way we want to answer whatever questions you might have about it.
Pricing for the Pacifica starts at $39,645 (excluding a $795 delivery fee) for the standard model—more than the Toyota Sienna (MSRP $37,685) but still under the Honda Odyssey, which starts at $41,920. That said, we’ve recently seen several rebates and incentives that bring the Pacifica’s price down, making it a more competitive option.
