Chrysler continues its 40-year legacy of minivan leadership with the unveiling of the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica and 2024 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid. As the originator of the minivan segment, Chrysler has consistently pushed the boundaries of innovation, and the 2024 models are no exception. The Pacifica remains the only minivan in its class to offer both traditional gasoline and plug-in hybrid powertrains, solidifying its position as a versatile and forward-thinking choice for modern families. Notably, the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid stands out as the sole minivan currently eligible for a significant $7,500 federal tax credit, making it an even more compelling option for eco-conscious buyers.
The 2024 Chrysler Pacifica lineup caters to a wide range of needs and preferences, from the luxurious Pinnacle model, boasting the most upscale interior in its segment, to the practical and family-friendly Touring trims. Key features that continue to set the Pacifica apart include available all-wheel-drive (AWD) paired with the class-exclusive Stow ‘n Go seating, offering unparalleled versatility in passenger and cargo configurations. The innovative Stow ‘n Vac system further enhances convenience, while the available FamCAM interior camera provides parents with a unique bird’s-eye view of rear-seat occupants, especially helpful for keeping an eye on children in rear-facing car seats. For entertainment on the go, the Pacifica was the first to integrate Amazon Fire TV into its Uconnect Theater System, providing a seamless entertainment experience for passengers. Adding to the sense of spaciousness and luxury, the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica offers the largest available sunroof in its class, alongside the most innovative seating and storage solutions, accommodating up to eight passengers and offering a remarkable 243 different seating configurations in gasoline models and 81 configurations in the Plug-In Hybrid.
The 2024 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid continues to lead the charge in electrified minivans, delivering impressive fuel efficiency with over 80 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe) in electric-only mode. It boasts an all-electric range exceeding 30 miles, perfect for daily commutes and errands, and a total driving range of over 500 miles, eliminating range anxiety on longer trips. This plug-in hybrid minivan offers a seamless driving experience, intelligently managing power between the electric motor and the specially modified 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 gasoline engine, thanks to Stellantis’ innovative dual-motor eFlite electrically variable transmission (EVT). The regenerative braking system further enhances efficiency by capturing energy during deceleration and using it to recharge the battery. A Max Regeneration cluster message keeps drivers informed of the system’s operation, promoting optimized energy usage. The Chrysler Pacifica has consistently been recognized as the most awarded minivan for seven years running, accumulating over 175 industry accolades, a testament to its enduring quality and innovation. With a history of 117 minivan firsts across six generations, including nearly 40 minivan-first features on the Pacifica, Chrysler continues to redefine the minivan segment.
What’s New for the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica?
The 2024 Chrysler Pacifica introduces several exciting updates, enhancing both its luxury appeal and technological features. The premium Pinnacle model receives an exclusive new sepia interior color scheme, featuring sophisticated sepia-quilted Nappa leather seats accented with Light Diesel stitching and elegant Sydney Gray piping. Exterior aesthetics are refreshed with two new available colors: the vibrant Red Hot and the refined Baltic Gray. Notably, the popular Pacifica Road Tripper Package will now be available in Baltic Gray, offering a cohesive and stylish look.
For the 2024 model year, the Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid lineup expands to include two distinct models: the Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid Select and the Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid Pinnacle. The Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid Select offers greater customization, with optional S Appearance, Premium S Appearance, and Road Tripper Packages, allowing buyers to tailor the vehicle to their personal style and preferences. Staying at the forefront of connected vehicle technology, the 2024 Pacifica incorporates the Emergency Vehicle Alert System (EVAS) as part of the Uconnect connected-vehicle platform. This safety-enhancing feature provides drivers with timely in-vehicle notifications on the cluster and touchscreen displays, alerting them to the presence of active fire trucks, ambulances, or other roadway hazards in the vicinity, further contributing to a safer driving experience.
2024 Chrysler Pacifica: Key Highlights and Features
The 2024 Chrysler Pacifica continues to build upon its strengths, offering a compelling blend of family-friendly features, advanced technology, and refined design. Here are some of the standout highlights:
Road Tripper Package: Elevating Family Adventures
Recognized as the best road trip minivan in its class, the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica amplifies its travel-ready credentials with the Road Tripper Package. This special edition boasts a unique exterior profile, distinguished by new Luster Gray Road Tripper graphics, outlined in eye-catching Brilliant Orange, adorning the driver and front passenger doors. The wheels, available in 20-inch size for gasoline models and 18-inch for the Plug-In Hybrid, are also finished in Luster Gray, complemented by center caps featuring a Brilliant Orange Chrysler wing badge logo. Semi-gloss Granite Crystal Chrysler wing badges on the front grille and rear liftgate are further enhanced with black center inserts, adding to the package’s distinctive aesthetic. The Road Tripper Package is available on the Touring L and Plug-In Hybrid Select models and can be configured in Baltic Gray, Brilliant Black, and Bright White exterior colors.
Amazon Fire TV Integration: Entertainment on Every Journey
The 2024 Chrysler Pacifica seamlessly integrates Amazon Fire TV, providing passengers with access to a vast library of entertainment options directly within the vehicle. This system, integrated into the Uconnect 5 and Uconnect Theater system, allows passengers to stream their favorite shows, movies, and apps. Parents will appreciate the content control features, allowing them to manage and select appropriate viewing material. Rear-seat passengers can enjoy Amazon Fire TV in high definition, and when the vehicle is parked, the driver can also access it on the main Uconnect 5 screen. An included Amazon Fire TV remote offers intuitive control and features push-to-talk access to Alexa, simplifying content search and playback. The remote also includes a dedicated button for Uconnect 5 system integration, enabling control of vehicle functions such as climate, maps, and more, all without leaving the entertainment interface.
Available All-Wheel Drive (AWD): Confident Handling in All Conditions
The 2024 Chrysler Pacifica offers available all-wheel drive (AWD) on Touring L, Limited, and Pinnacle gasoline-powered models, solidifying its position as America’s most capable minivan. It is also the only minivan in America to offer AWD in conjunction with Stow ‘n Go seating, maintaining its class-leading versatility. The system engages seamlessly at any speed, requiring no driver intervention. In situations where wheel slippage is detected, the AWD system automatically and proactively transfers engine torque to the wheels with the most traction, enhancing control in diverse road conditions, including dry pavement, snow, and unpaved surfaces. When AWD is not needed, the system intelligently disconnects the power-transfer unit and rear drive module, stopping the driveshaft from spinning. This class-exclusive feature minimizes driveline drag, improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions. The Pacifica’s AWD system engages automatically based on sensor inputs, ensuring optimal traction when it is most beneficial. Coupled with a best-in-class towing capacity of 3,600 pounds, the AWD-equipped 2024 Chrysler Pacifica is truly a capable and versatile minivan.
Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid: Efficiency Without Compromise
The 2024 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid remains the pioneering plug-in hybrid minivan, delivering exceptional fuel efficiency with over 80 MPGe, an all-electric range exceeding 30 miles, and a total range of over 500 miles. It holds the distinction of being the most spacious plug-in hybrid in the industry in terms of total interior passenger and cargo volume. Furthermore, it is the only minivan that qualifies for the $7,500 federal tax credit, making it a financially attractive option. Designed for a seamless driving experience, the Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid eliminates range anxiety and the need for drivers to manually switch between electric and hybrid modes. Its regenerative braking system captures kinetic energy during deceleration, replenishing the battery even after the initial charge is depleted. The Max Regeneration visual message on the cluster display provides feedback on energy recuperation. Owners of the Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid can realize significant fuel cost savings, estimated at around $3,250 over five years compared to the average new vehicle. With remarkably low tailpipe-only CO2 emissions of just 119 grams per mile and a top rating on the EPA’s greenhouse gas scale, the Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid is an environmentally responsible choice. The Uconnect 5 system in the Plug-In Hybrid allows for customized battery charging schedules, enabling owners to take advantage of lower off-peak electricity rates.
Unrivaled Safety and Security Features

The modern front fascia is designed with a dominant upper grille and a slimmer lower grille that mirrors the 3D diamond style and Gloss Black appearance of the upper portion. The headlamps feature an aggressive, linear design, with standard LED headlamps and a distinctive DRL-lit appearance. Large, deeply sculpted LED fog lamp bezels add to the overall sporty design. The LED taillamps stretch across the entire width of the rear, providing a cohesive and contemporary visual signature.
Luxurious and Functional Interior
The 2024 Chrysler Pacifica offers two integrated front center console options: the Ultra console (Pinnacle model) and the Premium console (Limited gas/Plug-In Hybrid Select models). The Pinnacle model features the most luxurious interior in its class, with the Pinnacle Ultra console being the most functional front center console available in the segment. Its dual-level storage includes a deep pass-through area underneath, large enough for a purse or laptop. The spacious console area also provides a comfortable armrest. The Pinnacle model boasts best-in-class total storage of over eight cubic feet. The elite Pinnacle trim includes premium quilted sepia Nappa leather seats, with sepia being a new color for 2024. Unique movable lumbar pillows for the second-row captain’s chairs, embossed with the Chrysler logo and matching the quilted Nappa sepia seats, add an extra touch of luxury. Additional Pinnacle premium interior appointments include a Piano Black push-push storage bin, brushed Silver Metal hydro bezels, a suede headliner, high-end Berber construction floor mats, and Platinum Chrome exterior/Satin Chrome interior trim.

A total of 12 wheel designs and finishes are available across the Pacifica lineup.
Advanced Technology and Connectivity

The system can connect to two phones simultaneously with Bluetooth capability and offers a wide range of connected services and features that are easier to navigate. Alexa-enabled device users can remotely start the car, lock/unlock doors, and more. Processing speeds are five times faster than the previous generation, powered by the Android operating system. TomTom navigation is integrated, with over-the-air (OTA) map updates and Firmware OTA (FOTA) system software updates. SiriusXM with 360L is offered free for three months as standard, providing personalized listening experiences and downloadable content. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard. Enhanced Hybrid Electric Pages and Smartphone Control 2.0 support up to three customer-defined charging schedules for Plug-In Hybrid models.
