In the 1980s, Chrysler was at the forefront of minivan culture—to this day, it prides itself on being one of the country’s best-sellers of these practical modes of transportation. The Chrysler Pacifica continues to lift the automaker’s storied reputation. Let’s take a look at the trim we think is the best bang for your buck, the Touring L.
Key Takeaways:
- The Chrysler Pacifica Touring L is the second to lowest trim and is priced at about $43,500.
- Outside of some new colors and one less hybrid trim, there were few changes to the Pacifica in 2024.
- The Touring L offers the best mix of features for the price.
What Changes Did We See in 2024 for the Chrysler Pacifica Touring?
The Chrysler Pacifica remained virtually unchanged in 2024, with the exception of a new interior color, Sepia, and Red Hot and Baltic Gray as new paint hues. The plug-in-hybrid Pacifica was reduced to two trims—the Hybrid Select and Hybrid Pinnacle.
Also, an Emergency Vehicle Alert System was added to the minivan’s Uconnect infotainment system.
Why the Touring L Is the Best Value?
The 2024 Chrysler Pacifica’s six trims are priced between $41,340 and $61,480. The Touring L is priced at an inexpensive $43,500 and adds perks like a heated steering wheel and front seats, supple leather upholstery, and 18-inch wheels.
Is the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica Touring Able to Tow?
Minivans aren’t exactly known for their get up and go, but the Pacifica is indeed perky. The gas only model Pacifica features a 287-hp 3.6-liter V-6 paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. The Pacifica Hybrid features a 3.6-liter V-6 and two electric motors and a 16.0-kWh lithium-ion battery pack—it generates less horsepower, with just 260 ponies. It, too, is front-wheel drive.
The Pacifica’s maximum towing capacity is 3,600 pounds; the automaker does not recommend towing with the hybrid model.
Is the Interior of the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica Touring Comfortable?
The Pacifica features Stow 'n Go seats; while these offer less padding, that’s by design, as they are easier to fold and store in the van’s floor. Chrysler engineers made up for it by adding more plush cushions to the standard captain's chairs.
The Pacifica is big on cargo space, as a minivan should be—you can expect it to carry over 50 (yes, you read that right) suitcases with the second- and third-row seats packed away. There’s even an optional built-in vacuum cleaner available, which with kids is an absolute must!
What Technology Does the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica Offer?
Chrysler's known for its Uconnect 5 infotainment system, which offers a reconfigurable home screen, Amazon Alexa integration, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on a large 10.1-inch touchscreen that's framed by climate-control vents on the Pacifica’s ample dash. A Wi-Fi hotspot is also available.
As an option, a rear-seat entertainment with dual touchscreens gives kids hours of entertainment on long journeys, as it comes with Amazon Fire TV. The cabin features 12 USB ports, with some that are USB-C.
