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)

  • Limited (gas)

  • Select (plug-in hybrid)

  • Pinnacle (plug-in hybrid/gas)

The hybrid can help charge the battery when braking or stopping using the built-in regenerative braking feature. A max regeneration cluster messaging icon is standard for the hybrid to keep drivers aware of the increased system regeneration.
