The world of minivans is an exciting place. While a minivan used to be notorious for its practicality and lack of style, nowadays, minivans have become so advanced and tech-savvy that they are highly desired. One of the most desirable minivans is the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica, and for a good reason. This van has taken an old relic and turned it into a family dream.
So what about the Chrysler Pacifica has got the world abuzz? Why has this minivan been sold to hundreds of thousands in the last few years alone? The answer is simple, but at the same time, not so much. The Pacifica combines a sleek and modern style with top of the line safety features, combining everything to bring us one of the best family vehicles of the decade.
Getting Your Family Where You Want To Go
With a starting MSRP of $35,045, the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica is an affordable family vehicle with all the bells and whistles. First, let’s take a look at performance and capability. Families these days are on a tighter budget than ever, and not every family can afford to own a different vehicle for every circumstance and destination. They’re looking for one vehicle that can do everything. That’s where the Pacifica excels.
The Chrysler Pacifica not only has the option of including all-wheel drive, but this minivan features the most advanced all-wheel drive technology in its class. In fact, the lovely beast is able to transfer every last bit of engine power to whichever wheels have the most traction. This means whether you are driving down a busy highway or trying to maneuver a snowy and icy backroad, the Pacifica will get you where you want to go without breaking a sweat. The weather can be a fickle thing, and it can be difficult to predict in the morning what that afternoon is going to be like, which makes it difficult to prepare for imperfect road conditions. Thankfully the Pacifica is the perfect solution to morning sunshine turned evening snowdrifts, and you’re sure to get home in one piece, no matter what conditions are like.
Speaking of getting your family where you want to go, the 2021 Pacifica can get you there affordably. With a fuel economy rating of up to 22 MPG combined (or 82 MPGe for the hybrid models), you won’t have to spend your entire week’s paycheck on gas. Of course, what all-in-one family vehicle would be complete without a capable towing capacity? The 2021 Pacifica can tow up to 3,600 lbs, so you can pack along any extra adventure items you think your family may need on your next road trip.
Making Sure You Safely Arrive
When you drive a minivan, the odds are good your back seats are filled with the most precious cargo, and so you’re going to want a vehicle that can get them safely home no matter what road hazards you may run into (no pun intended). The folks at Chrysler want this for you, too, so they have given us a family vehicle with some incredible safety features. In fact, the 2021 Pacifica comes with “more standard safety features than any other vehicle in the industry,” so you don’t need to worry about having to upgrade trim options in order to get the latest safety tech.
This includes basic safety features such as automatic emergency braking or lane departure warning, but also more advanced features, including a pedestrian detecting and braking system. The bad news is that in our day and age, no matter how good of a driver you may be, you cannot control the driving habits of those around you. Sometimes the unpredictable happens, and we’re just not able to prevent the worst. However, when you put your trust in the Pacifica’s safety features, you can rest easy knowing you’re not the only one watching out for your family’s safety.
Use the adaptive cruise control to stay a safe distance behind the car in front of you, even if it keeps traveling at a varying speed. Blind spot monitoring can help you see objects that are just out of your view, and LED headlights and taillights ensure you are seen by others no matter how dark and cloudy it is. The parking assist features, with parallel parking assistance, for example, can get you in and out of tight spots in a hurry without a second thought. These are the kinds of modern advances that have kept Chrysler owners so happy for so many years.
Giving Your Family Exactly What They Want
Speaking of modern advances, have you seen the new technologies Chrysler has added to their Pacifica? The 2021 model has some particularly exciting features that all work together to keep your family happy, entertained, and safely connected no matter where you are. Not only do you have convenience features, like an infotainment system, but you also have plenty of features to help you drive safer.
Any parent will appreciate one unique technology that the 2021 Pacifica offers, and that is the FamCAM. The FamCAM is an interior camera that allows the driver to see the kids in the backseat without having to turn around. How many parents have had to dangerously take their eyes off the road in order to check on a child? Chrysler has solved that problem by installing the FamCAM right into the dashboard navigation screen.
The dashboard navigation screen also gives easy access to music and other audio apps. Additionally, the Pacifica comes with access to the UConnect Market, which means you can hook your wallet up to your minivan and pay for things like gasoline, food, and more without ever leaving your vehicle or even getting out your credit card. If that doesn’t sound like a busy mom’s dream come true, then I don’t know what does. And of course, what family connectivity vehicle would be complete without its very own integrated 4G hotspot so everybody in the car can stay in touch with the outside world.
Speaking of family connectivity, the Chrysler Pacifica has the best family entertainment system in its class. Your back seat occupants can enjoy built-in screens that give them access to UConnect Movies, streaming shows, and even interactive games they can play with (or against) each other. This system includes wireless headphones so the driver doesn’t have to listen to the media going on in the backseat and can instead focus on the road. Or if your kids don’t like headphones, they can listen to their movies and games with a 19-speaker premium audio system from Harman Kardon, which basically gives them their own private movie theater experience.
