If you have a lot of people or cargo to take around the Chittenden County, South Burlington, and St. Albans areas, you'll need a vehicle that can handle the payload. While there are plenty of vehicles with generous interior space, nothing matches the experience of driving a brand-new minivan.
Thanks to recent advancements, minivans are better than ever before, offering sleek and stylish designs and some of the latest technology. You'll even find some hybrid models if you're looking to be more eco-friendly during your commute. While there are a few to choose from, the new 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is one of the most popular models available. Find out if it's right for you in our comprehensive review.
Hybrid Technology
The best part about the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is just how far it can drive on a single charge. It can seamlessly switch from electric to gas power when necessary, but the most impressive feature is arguably its 566-mile total driving range. Thirty-three of those miles are entirely electric, which is more than enough for you to run most errands without burning a drop of gas.
Hybrid vehicles are expected to have good fuel economy, but the Pacifica takes it to the next level. With this minivan, you can enjoy an EPA-estimated 84 MPGe when you use electricity and gas. With that kind of efficiency, you can spend more time on the road and less time at the pump.
Safety
Whether you have your whole crew with you or you're just driving by yourself, safety should always be your top priority. Chrysler agrees, and that's why they've implemented numerous advanced safety features with the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. LaneSense, for example, can not only alert you if you leave your lane without signaling properly, but it can also edge you back towards the center automatically.
Arguably the most exciting safety feature, however, is the Forward Collision Warning. Using constantly active sensors, your Pacifica will scan the road in front of you to search for potential threats. Should an imminent collision be detected, you will receive an emergency alert. Fail to hit the brakes, and your minivan can go so far as to hit the brakes for you.
Interior
No minivan would be complete without generous interior space, and the Pacifica Hybrid offers more than its fair share. Up front, you can enjoy 40.1 inches of headroom and 41.1 inches of legroom. Your second-row passengers will have plenty of space as well, with 39.6 inches of headroom and 39 inches of legroom. Third row passengers typically have to deal with a tight squeeze, but the Pacifica's third row offers up a surprising 36.5 inches of legroom.
If you're more interested in carrying cargo, the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid can provide in that regard as well. Even with all the seats up, you can still enjoy 32.3 cubic feet of space. Fold the third row down, and that expands to an incredible 87.5 cubic feet. That already puts you ahead of most SUVs, but putting the second row down will reveal the maximum 140.5 cubic feet of cargo space.
