You thought about getting an SUV for your growing family, but you couldn’t find one that quite fit the bill. The interiors weren’t very comfortable, and there wasn’t enough storage space. If you’re looking for a large, comfortable vehicle, you need to be looking at the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica. Here are five of our favorite features of this beautiful minivan. 
Fuel Economy
Our favorite feature of the 2021 Pacifica is its fuel economy. The EPA estimates the 2021 Pacifica can go up to 33 miles on electric power. Additionally, it is rated at 84 MPGe combined for rear-wheel-drive models. Furthermore, AWD models can get up to 82 MPGe for a total range of 520 miles.
Comfort
The comfort of the 2021 Pacifica is another incredible feature. This Pacifica’s cavernous cabin is packed with plenty of cupholders, cubbies, and slide-out bins for even more space. There is more than enough room for personal items, regardless of how many passengers you’re transporting.
Additionally, the captain’s chairs are so comfortable, you’ll be volunteering to run the errands for the family. You can also opt for second-row captain’s chairs. However, you’ll have to consider how much storage space you’re looking for from this vehicle. The captain’s chairs are more cushioned and don’t stow as compactly as the standard second-row chairs.
Storage Capacity
Behind the third row of seats, you can enjoy 32.3 cubic feet of storage capacity. If you stow the second and third rows of seats, you can enjoy an astonishing 140.5 cubic feet of cargo volume. If you’re taking three or four other people on a road trip, you can stow the third row of seats and benefit from 87.5 cubic feet of storage space.
Tech
Regardless of the trim level you choose, you’ll enjoy impressive tech, including the largest touchscreen in its class driven by the state-of-the-art Uconnect 5 system. What’s great about this 10.1” touchscreen is it blends almost seamlessly into the dashboard, and it is incredibly intuitive. Additionally, the Uconnect 5 system provides such benefits as:
- Integrated Alexa connectivity
- Two simultaneous Bluetooth phone connections
- Tens of thousands of voice commands
- SiriusXM with 360L
- Apple CarPlay compatibility
- Android Auto compatibility
- Six user profiles, including music and climate control preferences
- 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot
- Monthly vehicle health reports
Safety
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the 2021 Pacifica a five-star safety rating thanks to its crashworthiness testing scores. However, this Pacifica isn’t just ideal because it keeps passengers safe in the event of a collision. It is also a great choice thanks to a number of standard driver-assistance features, including:
- Lane Departure Warning
- Blind-Spot Monitoring
- Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Emergency Braking
- Pedestrian Detection
At the end of the day, a minivan is a much better family vehicle than an SUV. Minivans are more comfortable and have far more storage capacity. To find out if this is the minivan for you, contact us today at Ed Martin Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram and ask us about taking a test drive.
