Chrysler equips the Pacifica with LED lighting systems to ensure clear visibility and a modern look.

Robust Powertrain and Performance Capabilities of the Pacifica

Fuel Economy

EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings

All trims share: City MPG: 19 mpg, Highway MPG: 28 mpg, Combined MPG: 24 mpg.

Feature	Select	Limited	Pinnacle
Fuel Type	Unleaded	Unleaded	Unleaded

The 2026 Chrysler Pacifica offers a well-balanced powertrain tailored to meet the varied demands of family transportation. Across the Select, Limited, and Pinnacle trims, the vehicle consistently employs a 3.6-liter V6 engine paired with a smooth automatic transmission, delivering a reliable 287 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. This gasoline engine is standard on all non-hybrid trims and is engineered to provide enough power for everyday driving necessities.

Fuel efficiency remains competitive for a vehicle in the minivan category. The Pacifica’s front-wheel-drive setup in the Select and Limited trims achieves an EPA-estimated 19 miles per gallon (mpg) in city driving, extending to 28 mpg on highways, with a combined rating of 24 mpg. These figures reflect a prudent balance between power and fuel economy, ideal for families managing both local errands and longer road trips. The Pinnacle trim maintains similar fuel ratings despite its slightly taller stance and premium features.

Performance versatility is enhanced by the availability of all-wheel drive (AWD) on gasoline-powered versions, including the Select, Limited, and Pinnacle trims. This feature benefits drivers requiring additional traction in varied weather or road conditions, though front-wheel drive remains standard. Notably, the hybrid Pinnacle variant sacrifices AWD capability for a more efficient hybrid system powered by a combination of the V6 engine and twin electric motors, but that model is beyond the scope of this overview.

With towing capacity rated at up to 3,600 pounds, typical among minivans, the Pacifica accommodates family trailers, boats, or small campers when properly equipped. This capability supports families with active lifestyles seeking utility beyond passenger transport.

The nine-speed automatic transmission found on these trims helps optimize performance and fuel efficiency by offering smooth and timely gear changes. Its refinement aids both commuter comfort and highway cruising, matching the Pacifica’s role as a multipurpose passenger vehicle designed in the USA.

In summary, the Pacifica’s powertrain structure across Select, Limited, and Pinnacle trims delivers a strong blend of steady horsepower, torque, respectable fuel economy, and flexible drivetrain choices—features that appeal to a broad range of family-driving requirements without sacrificing reliability or comfort.

Spacious Interior Comforts for Passengers and Cargo

Dimensions & Capacity

Interior and exterior dimensions

All trims share: Cargo Volume: 32.2 cu ft, Max Towing: 3,600 lbs.

Length	204.3"	203.6"	204.3"
Width	79.6"	79.6"	79.6"
Height	69.9"	69.9"	70.7"

Inside the 2026 Chrysler Pacifica, attention to passenger comfort and cargo versatility is evident across the Select, Limited, and Pinnacle trims. Each model offers thoughtfully designed seating arrangements to accommodate families and groups with ease, delivering seating for eight passengers in both Select and Limited trims, while the Pinnacle trim adjusts for seven due to its luxury-focused layout.

The Pacifica’s interior dimensions reflect a balance between spaciousness and practicality. The Select and Pinnacle trims share a length of 204.3 inches, with a width of 79.6 inches, while the Limited trim measures slightly shorter at 203.6 inches but matches the others in width and height, ensuring ample room inside for passengers. Specifically, the Pinnacle’s height reaches 70.7 inches, slightly higher than the Select and Limited trims at 69.9 inches, offering a sense of increased headroom and presence.

One of the Pacifica’s standout features for interior flexibility is the Chrysler patented Stow ‘n Go seating system, available on gasoline-powered versions, including Select and Limited trims. This innovation allows second- and third-row seats to fold flat into the floor, increasing functionality and cargo capacity without sacrificing passenger comfort. Passengers can easily configure the row seating to balance maximum cargo volume with passenger needs. However, on the Pinnacle trim, which emphasizes luxury, seating is reduced to seven passengers to incorporate quilted leather upholstery and enhanced comfort features without second-row Stow ‘n Go seating due to battery placement in hybrid options.

Cargo space behind the third row is 32.2 cubic feet, providing enough room for groceries, sports gear, or luggage during weekend getaways. Storage is enhanced within the cabin by numerous cubbies, cupholders, and underfloor bins, supporting family organization for smaller items and enhancing daily convenience.

Additional comfort features include heated front seats standard on higher trims and leatherette upholstery on front buckets with Pinnacle adding quilted leather for premium appeal. Second-row captain’s chairs benefit from optional lumbar support and, in the Pinnacle hybrid, offer greater cushioning and comfort for longer journeys. The heated steering wheel available on higher trims ensures driver comfort during colder seasons.

This combination of flexible seating, substantial passenger space, and thoughtful storage compartments highlights the Pacifica’s commitment to creating an accommodating and refined environment suitable for families and active lifestyles alike.

Rear cross-traffic alert is a standard aid that further supports backing out of driveways or parking spots with limited sightlines.

The 2026 Chrysler Pacifica distinguishes itself in the minivan category by blending powerful performance, versatile seating, and refined comfort across its Select, Limited, and Pinnacle trims.
