2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
As a stylish 7-seater with sliding doors and a modern exterior, the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica quickly earned a reputation as a go-to family hauler. Now, a plug-in hybrid version, the Pacifica Hybrid, is hitting dealer lots as the first-ever hybrid minivan sold in the U.S.
The 2017 Pacifica Hybrid is not just a trim level of the standard Pacifica but its own standalone model, powered by an upgraded 3.6-liter Pentastar engine paired with a 16-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery. The eFlite transmission consists of 2 electric motors: one turns the front wheels, while the other charges the batteries and assists with heavy acceleration. The Pacifica Hybrid boasts a 33-mile electric-only range, a fuel-economy rating of 84 MPGe, and a 566-mile total range between fill-ups.
While the non-hybrid Pacifica starts at $28,595, the cheapest Pacifica Hybrid costs $41,995. While that might seem expensive, it’s not a bad value—after a $7,500 federal tax credit, the price drops to $35,590 (including the destination charge).
The Pacifica Hybrid comes exclusively in the top-level Premium and Platinum trims, where upscale touches like leather upholstery come standard. If you’re considering the Pacifica Touring L Plus, it’s worth checking out the Hybrid. In fact, the only options from the non-hybrid Pacifica that aren’t available are a built-in Stow ’N’ Vac vacuum cleaner (available only on the Limited trim), 8-passenger seating, a trailer/tow group, and second-row Stow ’N’ Go seats. The popular Stow ’N’ Go storage system—in which the seats fold flat into the floor—is still available for the third row. The second-row seats, however, sit directly above the hybrid battery and must be manually removed, although they do tilt forward for easy exit.
With a starting price of $41,995, the Pacifica Hybrid Premium is immediately identifiable as a high-level trim. The exterior features standard fog lights, halogen quad headlights, chrome brightwork, power heated mirrors, and 5-spoke 17-inch wheels. Opening the power-sliding doors or liftgate reveals perforated-leather seats, 3-zone automatic climate control, and Chrysler’s upgraded Uconnect infotainment system with a 8.4-inch touchscreen and available navigation.
The Pacifica Hybrid Platinum is priced at $44,995 before destination charges and tax credits. In addition to all features from the Premium trim, the Platinum comes with hands-free power-sliding doors and liftgate, extra chrome trim, and upgraded 18-inch wheels. The interior gets heated and cooled seats with front-passenger lumbar support, more soft-touch materials, a 115-volt power outlet, and a 13-speaker Alpine sound system. Rear passengers receive seatback video screens and an additional USB charging port.
Neither of the Pacifica Hybrid’s well-equipped trims offers many customization add-ons. The Premium trim has no options or packages other than a few dealer-installed items like splash guards, while the Platinum offers an available triple-pane sunroof.
Active-safety technology for the Pacifica Hybrid includes blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear park assist with an automatic-stop function. The Platinum trim adds adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go technology, advanced brake assist, a 360-degree camera, and front park assist. All Pacifica Hybrids are covered by a 3-year/36,000-mile unlimited warranty. The powertrain is warrantied for 5 years or 60,000 miles, while the battery gets a 10-year/150,000-mile warranty.

Beautiful smooth quiet vehicle.
However, it totally missed basic features that I have used for the last 20 years on other minivans. 1. No seat memory. With two drivers of different body types, we are changing seat and mirrors all the time. 2. No homelink app to program to open garage door. 3. Cannot turn OFF the radio. It is always on even with volume turned to zero. 4. No cap fuel filler does not allow some gas pump nozzles to function-clicks off immediately. Gas tank filler access door fails, have to go into trunk and use green release (engineers knew this would fail so they designed in a bypass!!!)
So Sad for these missing normal every car has them features. This is our 5th minivan so we came to expect a certain level of functionality.Jul 22, 2023

This car met most of my expectations. A hands-free rear hatch would have fulfilled my expectations. For a used car, I am very satisfied. CarGurus helped me find the car of my dreams. Feb 13, 2021

Get the limited trim. The car can drive itself to an extent, touchscreen is what you would expect on a high end tablet. Ride is smooth and having the extra room in this vehicle is predominantly why Im buying one. Mar 17, 2020
