The 2026 Chrysler Pacifica is a midsize minivan with versatile seating configurations, cargo space, and handling suitable for daily driving. It competes with the Toyota Sienna, Honda Odyssey, and Kia Carnival, which offer comparable interior volume and features. The 2026 model is a refresh of the current generation, with exterior changes including a revised front fascia and new wheel designs, along with minor interior updates. The standard powertrain consists of a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine producing 287 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is available on most trims.

The Uconnect 5 infotainment system is standard, featuring a 10.1-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Alexa Built-in, and customizable driver profiles. The FamCAM interior camera allows monitoring of rear passengers, and optional Amazon Fire TV is available for rear screens. The plug-in hybrid powertrain carries over with approximately 32 miles of electric range. Safety features include adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitoring as standard, with 360-degree cameras on higher trims. The Chrysler app supports remote start, lock/unlock, and vehicle status checks. Connect ONE services are included for 10 years with health reports, while optional subscriptions provide in-car Wi-Fi and over-the-air map updates.
