Morgan Hill Chrysler - What to Know About the 2026 Chrysler Pacifica

The 2026 Chrysler Pacifica brings family-first design together with advanced safety and everyday versatility, making school runs, road trips and everything in between feel easier. With refined ride quality, thoughtful storage and a rich slate of technology, this minivan is built to simplify busy lives without sacrificing comfort or style. At Morgan Hill Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we help local families match Pacifica trims and packages to real-world needs so you drive home confident you chose the right configuration.

Three well-equipped trims — Select, Limited and Pinnacle — let you tailor the experience from practical to plush. Outside, clean lines, available 20-inch wheel designs and LED lighting create a modern, upscale look. Inside, the cabin focuses on flexible space and smart touches: wide-opening sliding doors, low step-in height and thoughtful materials that stand up to daily use. Whether you need to load a bulky stroller, a cello or a suite of camping gear, the Pacifica adapts with room to spare.

  • Powertrain: The proven 3.6L Pentastar V6 pairs with a smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic for confident merging, quiet cruising and family-friendly efficiency.
  • All-Wheel Drive: Available AWD smartly routes torque to the wheels that can use it, helping you stay composed on rain-slick streets and weekend getaways.
  • Safety Suite: Standard driver-assist features include Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection; a 360-degree Surround View Camera is available.
  • Seating and Storage: Class-Exclusive Stow ‘n Go seating lets the second- and third-row seats fold into the floor, opening up to 140.5 cu. ft. of cargo space for projects, sports gear or luggage.
  • Cabin Tech: Uconnect 5 with a 10.1-inch touchscreen supports user profiles, Alexa Built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; available rear-seat Amazon Fire TV and a premium audio system keep every row entertained.
  • Family Conveniences: Handy touches such as the FamCAM interior camera, hands-free sliding doors and liftgate, an available built-in vacuum and an adjustable-height liftgate reduce daily friction.

If your week includes commuting on 101, multiple school pickups and a weekend escape to the coast or the mountains, the Pacifica hits the sweet spot. The quiet cabin eases long-haul fatigue, driver-assistance features add confidence in heavy traffic and available AWD helps when the weather turns. For those occasional big jobs, properly equipped models can tow small trailers or a pair of ATVs, expanding what your family can do together.

  1. Set your priorities — passenger capacity, cargo needs, commute time and weekend plans.
  2. Pick your trim — Select, Limited or Pinnacle — and choose appearance and comfort packages that match your style.
  3. Decide on drivetrain and capability — front-wheel drive for efficiency or available AWD and tow-prep for versatility.
  4. Visit our showroom for a hands-on test drive, bring car seats or gear and review trade-in and finance options with our team.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How does the 2026 Chrysler Pacifica compare to a three-row SUV?

Minivans deliver easier access, a lower step-in height and a wider door opening. Pacifica adds flexible Stow ‘n Go seating for true flat-floor cargo space, available AWD for all-season traction and advanced safety — a combination many SUVs struggle to match.

What is Stow ‘n Go seating and when is it most useful?

Stow ‘n Go lets you fold second- and third-row seats directly into the floor. There is no need to remove and store heavy seats at home, so you can switch from seven-passenger school duty to big-box runs or DIY projects in minutes.

Is the Pacifica a good choice for long commutes or family road trips?

Yes. Supportive seating, a quiet, well-insulated cabin and driver-assist features help reduce fatigue. Add Uconnect 5, wireless smartphone integration, available rear-seat entertainment and multiple charging points, and every row stays informed and entertained mile after mile.

Which safety features come standard and which are available?

Standard features include Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection. Available upgrades include a 360-degree Surround View Camera and additional parking assistance.
