Feeling sad about needing to trade in your sporty coupe for a “Mom Van”? Well, get ready to turn that frown upside-down! Introducing the 2020 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid; where the term “Mom Van” is a thing of the past! Chrysler has really stepped up its game when it comes to combining luxury, functionality, fuel efficiency, and convenience.
One of the hardest parts about going from a fuel-efficient sporty coupe to a van has always been downgrading in fuel efficiency because you’re upgrading size. This time, that is FAR from reality! The Pacifica Hybrid gets up to an astounding 82 mpg.
Some people may feel a bit weary of investing in a full electric vehicle because of the unknown factors of when you will need a charge and how far you can get on one charge. Chrysler has done a fabulous job at designing the Pacifica Hybrid so that you will be able to travel up to 32 miles completely on the electric motor. Then the vehicle seamlessly switches from electric to gas, so you won’t ever be worried about how much longer before you need to find a charging station, or worry about having to stop halfway to your destination to charge. With a jaw dropping 520 mile total range between the electric motor and gas engine, this vehicle will take you where you want, when you want, no questions asked, and it will even save you a good chunk of change on the way there.
The Battery has a 10-year/150,000-Mile Limited Warranty or a 10-Year/100,000-Mile Limited Warranty depending on the vehicle. Enabling you to drive till your heart's content and never have to worry about running into problems with the battery.
With the available 240-volt Mopar® charger, you can fully charge your Pacifica Hybrid in as little as two hours! An additional benefit to this battery is that it charges on-the-go without a charger, simply by driving your car. Using what’s called regenerative braking, the battery captures the energy from the brakes each time the brakes are applied.
The Pacifica Hybrid truly put its best foot forward when it comes to entertainment for the passengers. The available Uconnect® Theater Package includes dual 10-inch HD touchscreens with a Blu-ray™ player, dual HDMI inputs, wireless headphones, wireless streaming (not currently compatible with Apple® devices), Bluetooth® remotes, games and apps.
Obviously keeping the passengers happy is only half the battle. Chrysler knew just how to upgrade the driver’s experience also. The available Uconnect® 4C Nav with 8.4-inch touchscreen comes packed full of included features. Feel connected everywhere you go with the 4G Wi-Fi Hotspot and Hands-Free Calling. Also never feel bored in the car again with the many options for music entertainment such as AM/FM Radio, HD Radio™, Auxiliary Input Jack, USB Port for Media Devices, Bluetooth® Streaming Audio, Apple CarPlay® Support and Android Auto Integration.
Having the ability to enjoy your every-day driving experiences is important. However, staying in command of the car while doing so, is also a very essential part. The integrated Uconnect® Voice Command, Navigation, and Do Not Disturb feature will help keep you and your precious cargo safe.
Safety
Speaking of safety, the Pacifica Hybrid has an array of available features to upgrade your confidence in safe driving. Here is a sampling of the available safety features that are offered; Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning and Active Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, and Blind Spot Monitoring System.
Chrysler also has some awesome available options for when the car isn’t in motion. The available 360° Surround View Camera, standard Rear Cross Path Detection, available Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist, and the available ParkSense® Font and standard Rear Park Assist, will open a whole new world of ease to your driving and parking experience.
With two bold design packages for the interior as well as the available Tri-Pane Panoramic Sunroof, Active Noise Cancelation, Heated and Ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, and class-exclusive available easy tilt seating, you will feel right at home during any amount of time you spend in the car.
Lastly, let’s touch on functionality and convenience, Chrysler has stocked this van full of so many useful things that you couldn’t have dreamed up a few years ago. They have an amazing feature called the Stow ‘N Vac integrated vacuum system, which is powered by Ridged, making cleanup a breeze no matter how many messy kids you have been toting around. They have also equipped the vehicle with numerous convenient storage bins, sliding drawers, a tablet holder, and even a special place designed just for your umbrella, so there truly is a place to everything.
