Minivans aren’t as common as they used to be, but for larger families, they’re still essential. The 2025 Chrysler Pacifica is one of the last great options out there. For this model year, Chrysler has trimmed the lineup, improved the mini's features, and made the plug-in hybrid option more accessible than ever. Find out what you need to know in this 2025 Chrysler Pacifica family minivan review.
Key Takeaways
The Pacifica's Smarter Standard Features for 2025
Chrysler simplified the lineup this year, trimming it from five trims to three core models: Select, Limited, and Pinnacle. The Limited is gas-only, while the Select and Pinnacle give you the choice of gas or hybrid.
Even the base Select model is better equipped than ever. You now get a universal garage door opener, premium carpets, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and second-row one-touch windows right out of the gate.
The S Appearance Package features black exterior trim, dark wheels, and black interior with gray stitching. It is now standard on the Limited and available with the hybrid Select via the Premium Group. It also bundles in parking sensors, a 360-degree camera system, rear-seat entertainment, wireless charging, and a dual-pane sunroof.
The Pacifica starts just a bit higher than the competition, but offers more variety. Its trims are:
- Select: $44,445
- Limited: $51,565
- Hybrid Select: $53,050
- Hybrid FAV Edition: $54,975
- Pinnacle: $56,230
- Hybrid Premium S Appearance Pkg: $58,800
- Hybrid Pinnacle: $61,780
Gas or Hybrid Power? You’ve Got Options
The standard Pacifica comes with a 3.6-liter V6 delivering 287 horsepower, which is plenty for everyday driving. But the plug-in hybrid is where things really get interesting. It combines that V6 with dual electric motors for about 260 total horsepower and offers up to 33 miles of all-electric range.
When the battery runs out, it switches to hybrid mode and earns an EPA-estimated 84 MPGe combined.
Family Tech and Creature Comforts That Keep Everyone Happy
Tech is a huge part of what makes the Pacifica feel premium. Every model comes with a 10-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, and built-in Wi-Fi. Want to go all out? The top trims pile on features like a 20-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, built-in Amazon Fire TV, wireless charging, and even an in-cabin camera system so you can check on the kids without turning around.
The Pacifica interior has tons of space, great visibility, and enough cubbies, cupholders, and clever storage spots to keep everyone’s stuff in check. The materials and fit are solid overall.
Higher trims like the Limited and Pinnacle step it up with taller center consoles that flow more naturally into the dash, giving the cabin more of an SUV vibe from the driver’s seat. The Pinnacle even goes full luxury with quilted leather and—get this—matching lumbar pillows for the second-row captain’s chairs.
One tradeoff to know: the standard Stow ’n Go seats fold flat into the floor, so they’re a little thinner than what you’ll find in some competitors. But in the hybrid model, where the battery takes up the floor space, you’ll get cushier second-row seats instead, since there’s no fold-flat mechanism underneath.
Why the Pacifica Might Just Be Your Best Bet!
The Pacifica offers fuel-saving hybrid capability, family-first tech, and a lineup that makes it easier to get the features you actually want. Come in for a test drive and see if the 2025 Pacifica is the match your crew’s been waiting for!
