There used to be a time when the minivan was little more than a mockable characteristic of the "soccer mom" stereotype. The minivan had clunky, heavy sliding doors, it reeked of sports equipment, and for some reason it always had crumbs on the floor. Thankfully, those days are long gone. And long, long gone when you take a look at the 2019 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid.
Let's break it down.
What it Means to Be Efficient
As America's first and only hybrid minivan, the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is the most fuel efficient seven-passenger hybrid vehicle on the road. It touts an incredible 82 MPGe rating1 and is capable of delivering a total driving range of up to 520 miles. It's this type of fuel efficiency that has made the Pacifica the fastest growing plug-in hybrid in America2.
The Pacifica Hybrid can be charged in just two hours when paired with the available 240-volt Level II charger, making it faster to charge than many plug-in vehicles.
But, you don't have to worry about your charge level. Because when your battery is running low, the Pacifica Hybrid will seamlessly switch from its electric motor to its gasoline engine all on its own. Plus, the Pacifica Hybrid features regenerative braking, which means it'll charge its battery on the go by capturing energy when the brakes are applied.
Cutting-Edge Safety & Entertainment Technology
The Pacifica Hybrid is the most technologically advanced seven-passenger hybrid in its class3. It offers a comprehensive suite of driver assistive safety and security features, plus a nice long list of entertainment features that passengers of all ages can enjoy. In fact the Pacifica Hybrid offers the most advanced entertainment system available in a seven-passenger hybrid3.

Convenience Aplenty
Say goodbye to hard to open, hard to shut doors. The Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid offers an available hands-free power liftgate and hands-free power sliding side doors. You'll never have to say, "You really have to slam it!" again.
Plus, with the simple lift of a lever, the Pacifica's class-exclusive second-row Easy Tilt Seating feature allows your third-row passengers to enter and exit the vehicle with their dignity in tact. Gone are the days of crawling over the second row and climbing out of the trunk.
No More Crumbs
The Pacifica's available Stow 'n Vac is an integrated vacuum that extends throughout the entire cabin so you can quickly and easily suck up those cracker crumbs and clumps of dirt.
Don't Forget that Tax Credit
One big perk of purchasing an alternative fuel vehicle are the available tax credits. The 2019 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid qualifies for a $7,500 federal tax credit4. Pretty good chunk of change if we don't say so ourselves.
The Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid may still be the preferred mode of travel for the "soccer mom" persona, but it's capable of doing a lot more than haul kids around. With its available theater, built-in vacuum, a really nice tax credit, and 82 miles of clean, guilt-free driving, what's not to like?
