What it is

The 2024 Chrysler Pacifica is a gasoline minivan. It uses front-wheel drive, a 3.6 L six-cylinder engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission.

Its defining EPA figure is 22 combined MPG. That blends the 19 MPG city rating with the 28 MPG highway rating.

The numbers

Expect the Pacifica's fuel economy to vary with your route. Stop-and-go city driving is rated at 19 MPG, while highway driving is rated at 28 MPG.

The vehicle is classified as a minivan, 2WD, and its tailpipe output is 401 grams of CO2 per mile.

What it costs to run

The EPA annual fuel-cost estimate is $3,050. That figure is tied to the Pacifica's 22 MPG combined rating and gasoline powertrain.

How it compares

Use 22 combined MPG as the line to place beside other Chrysler cars. Its city and highway figures show how the Pacifica's result changes with the type of driving.

Who it suits

This Pacifica fits a buyer who wants a minivan with front-wheel drive and a gasoline engine. It makes the most sense for driving that includes both city streets and highways, where the separate EPA figures matter.

Trade-offs

The 28 MPG highway rating is 9 MPG higher than the 19 MPG city rating, so frequent urban trips will use more fuel than steady highway travel. The vehicle also produces 401 grams of CO2 per mile.

Safety ratings are five stars overall, frontal and side, with four stars for rollover. NHTSA lists 10 recalls and 43 complaints for this vehicle.

Verdict

Choose the Pacifica when a minivan body and front-wheel drive match your plans, and you can budget $3,050 a year for gasoline. Its 22 MPG combined result is the useful starting point, while the 19 MPG city number deserves attention if most trips are in town. Highway commuters get the stronger 28 MPG rating. The five-star overall, frontal and side ratings are notable, but the four-star rollover result, listed recalls and complaints belong in your ownership decision.
