2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Pinnacle Design

For the 2021 model year, Chrysler is bringing some changes to its Pacifica minivan. These include some body styling updates, especially to the front and rear, a new top-line luxury trim level called the Pinnacle, and the option of all-wheel drive. Also new for the 2021 Pacifica is all-wheel drive, which is still available with Chrysler’s Stow ‘n Go seating. It’s capable of sending all the power to the rear wheels – or the wheel(s) with the most traction – and can completely disengage when not needed. Standard are 235/60-R18 Michelin Premier All-season tires for 18-inch wheels for AWD-equipped models while the 20-inch wheels are offered with optional Pirelli self-sealing tires, though these larger wheels will have late availability. Non-self-sealing Falken tires are also available for the 20-inch wheels.Power still comes from Chrylser's Pentastar 3.6-liter V6 making 287 horsepower (214 kilowatts) and 262 pound-feet (355 newton-meters) of torque. The Pacifica hybrid – now a powertrain option instead of a trim – offers more than 30 miles of all-electric range and a total range of more than 400 miles.
