2024 Chrysler Pacifica Will Be Available as Hybrid Plug-In

Chrysler continues its minivan line with the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica and 2024 Chrysler Pacifica plug-In hybrid, the company said Sept. 1. The Pacifica plug-in Hybrid is also eligible for a $7,500 federal tax credit.

The lineup includes the premium Pinnacle model, and delivers available all-wheel-drive (AWD) capability. Pacifica plug-in hybrid delivers more than 80 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe) in electric-only mode, an all-electric range of more than 30 miles, and a total range of more than 500 miles.  

The available FamCAM interior camera offers a bird's-eye view of rear-facing child-seat occupants. Pacifica offers seating available for up to eight passengers, as well as 243 different seating configurations for the Pacifica and 81 seating configurations for the hybrid.

The hybrid offers a solution for consumers considering battery-electric technology, alleviating range anxiety through a Stellantis-designed dual-motor eFlite electrically variable transmission (EVT) paired with a specially modified version of the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 gasoline engine.

Model Lineup

The 2024 Chrysler Pacifica lineup features:

• Touring (gas)
• Touring L (gas)
