NEXT STAGE: Freshen in 2020
The minivan has been freshened for the 2021 model year and is due to arrive in the fourth quarter. The gasoline version is available with all-wheel drive, a feature that made its debut toward the end of the cycle for the 2020 model. The Pacifica is the first Chrysler minivan to offer awd since 2004. The freshened model receives a restyled grille to go along with a new all-LED taillight spanning the width of the vehicle — similar to that of the Dodge Durango and Charger. The latest Pacifica will serve as the launching pad for FCA’s fifth-generation Uconnect infotainment platform. The 2021 model gets a new top-end Pinnacle trim. A redesign isn’t expected until 2026.
