Chrysler has the market locked-up for anyone needing a seven passenger vehicle that can go a very long way on a tank of fuel. If this is appealing, then the 2022 Pacifica plug-in hybrid (PHEV) is what you are looking for. This is excellent fuel economy for a 5,010-pound nicely styled shoe box. The only minivan with a plug.

It was more than a hybrid—it was a plug-in hybrid. The plug means the 2021 Pacifica has a 32-mile all-electric driving range, which for most people is far more than they will drive in their daily routine. Keep in mind this is a 5,010-pound aerodynamic shoe box getting this stellar fuel economy. How It Works.

An opposed piston engine with hydrogen combustion could well provide the best-known thermal efficiency from a reciprocating engine, with the potential to match the in-vehicle efficiency of a hydrogen fuel cell. A spark plug, or other ignition source, is generally required. The addition of a spark plug is a new design element.
