5 Reasons You'll Love the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica
Chrysler turns the traditionally boring box into the king of cool
The minivan was once cruelly labeled the “fanny pack” of the automotive world; terribly unhip but worn out of necessity all the same. With the 2017 Pacifica, Chrysler set out to change that negative perception with a more modern take.
That’s why Heritage CDJR Harrisburg, Owings Mills & Parkville loves the all-new Chrysler Pacifica so much. It takes everything people have disliked about minivans (unflattering design, sluggish performance, and uninspired handling) and improves upon each one of those aspects in a major way.
In honor of what we believe to be the best minivan money can buy, here are five reasons why we think you’ll love the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica, and why it’s time to reset your expectations of what a minivan can do.
Stylish exterior
The 2017 Chrysler Pacifica goes a long way toward wiping away the stigma around minivans with its stylish exterior. The front fascia has a sleek look borrowed from the 200 sedan, which gives this minivan unrivaled aerodynamic performance. Sculpted sides and hood give the Pacifica a more dynamic appearance, as does the kicked-back rear pillar. The silhouette is also less van-like, with a hood distinctly separated from the rest of the body.
The power of Pentastar®
The Pacifica is powered by Chrysler’s trusty 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6, an engine that utilizes a number of efficiency-focused technologies, such as exhaust-gas recirculation, engine start-stop (late availability), and upgraded variable-valve lift and variable-valve timing systems. The result is a responsive engine that delivers 287 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, all of which makes the Pacifica the most powerful minivan in its class.
Stow ‘N Go®
Minivans are designed to make your life easier, and the Pacifica’s handy Stow ‘N Go® Feature does just that. The Pacifica’s second-row captain’s chairs individually fold and stow into the floor, letting you easily switch from carrying people to carrying cargo or vice versa.
Let the good times roll with Uconnect®Theater
The available Uconnect® Theater is a must-have for families and takes rear-seat entertainment to the next level. It’s especially handy for families that take frequent road trips. It features two 10-inch touchscreens mounted in the back of the front seats and supports Blu-Ray disc playback so your kids can watch their favorite movies. It even has RCA and HDMI ports so you can plug in a game system. You can also download apps and play built-in games.
Stellar safety for your family with SafetyTec™
Keeping you and your family safe is another area where the 2017 Pacifica truly shines. In addition to a long list of standard safety features (anti-lock brakes, stability and traction controls, rearview camera, a full array of airbags) the Pacifica is also available with the latest advanced safety technologies, including ParkSense® rear park assist, blind-spot monitoring lane-departure warning, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, Surround View camera system, and ParkSense® with parallel and perpendicular parking assists.
