The 2006 Chrysler Pacifica is in its third year of production, and exterior styling has been freshened for this model year.  This front-wheel Limited model is a new addition for 2006.

The Pacifica is Chrysler's first SUV, but Chrysler has not borrowed any design elements from its sister company's popular Durango.  Instead, the Pacifica is built atop the Town & Country minivan's long wheelbase platform, creating a unique new category of crossover.

All upper level trims house a 3.5 liter DOHC V-6, churning out 250 horsepower and 250 pound-feet of torque.  A four-speed automatic transmission routes power to the front wheels, and fuel economy is estimated at a generous 17/23 mpg.

The Pacifica is aimed at a more discriminating crowd than most crossover utes, and the luxurious Limited trim provides the finest finish.  Standard features include keyless entry, cruise control, full power accessories, heated leather seats, a power rear lift gate, automatic climate control, and 19 inch wheels.  Sirius satellite and a DVD navigation system are optional.
