2017 Chrysler Pacifica: First Look

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will attempt to return to those juice-box-holding salad days by unveiling the Chrysler Pacifica – the new nameplate for Chrysler’s minivan. Perhaps the Town & Country deserves a better send off than just having its role replaced by something younger, faster, and more creative. But so it goes in life and cars. Who has time to think about those old clunkers that just can’t keep up with the speed of life?

Better yet, the Pacifica is impressive in all the ways the modern Town & Country was not. In a preview of the Pacifica in December, Chrysler officials said the new Pacifica arrives with  more than 100 innovations, which in automotive parlance is not always so impressive. But when you break down some of the great features in the Pacifica – some original, others swiped from competitors – hey, the competition took the minivan idea from Chrysler – this family hauler is ready to roll into the future.
