2022 Chrysler Pacifica
Overview
The Chrysler Pacifica was redesigned last year with a high level of style and sophistication for families that crave both form and function. The minivan segment has shrunk in the last decade, due to the rise of the crossover and SUV categories. However, there’s a reason two of Chrysler’s three models are minivans. It has a unique take on the minivan, as more than just a people-mover. With the latest in driver assistance features, unexpected luxury, an advanced infotainment system, and a charming exterior design, the 2022 Chrysler Pacifica has it all.
The Perfect Ride For...
Families who want both practicality and comfort. People rarely associate minivans with luxury, but the Chrysler Pacifica might just change that. Options like quilted Nappa leather-trimmed seats, satin chrome accents, and a suede headliner give the interior of the Pacifica a luxe refinement. Available technology like wireless charging, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay®, and Android Auto™, Alexa, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and the outstanding FamCAM® offer innovative ways to stay connected on the road.
Drive and Handling
The 2022 Chrysler Pacifica offers better driving and handling characteristics than you’ve come to expect from a minivan. All models come with a standard 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 engine putting out 287 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission that offers quick, responsive shifts. The standard front-wheel drive system provides capable handling and excellent stability. The all-new available all-wheel drive system provides increased grip in all conditions, leading to enhancements in both safety and performance. Take your next family vacation wherever you want thanks to the improved capability offered by this advanced system.
Key Features
Safety
If you’re going out on the road with the people who mean the most to you, safety is a top priority and Chrysler couldn’t agree more. The Pacifica is engineered to meet your needs with a long list of technologically advanced safety features. A standard rearview camera makes parking and backing out much easier and safer. Forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking can predict an impending accident and help mitigate or prevent it. The Pacifica even has blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert systems. Lane-keeping assist and lane departure warning will make sure you don’t stray from your intended lane of travel. The 2022 Chrysler Pacifica also has automatic high-beam headlights and rain-sensing windshield wipers, giving you a clear view of the road ahead, regardless of the conditions.
Technology
The 2022 Pacifica is packed with high-tech infotainment features. It has a standard 10.1-inch high-resolution touch screen that makes controlling the infotainment system easy. Speaking of the infotainment system, the Pacifica's updated Uconnect® 4 system is one of the most straightforward on the market. It includes Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, which lets occupants quickly and easily connect smartphones and other devices. It even includes Amazon Alexa functionality. Occupants can choose between wired and wireless connectivity, as the 2022 Pacifica includes both Bluetooth and USB ports.
Radio lovers will be happy to hear that the Pacifica has standard HD radio and standard satellite radio. The standard six-speaker stereo system offers good performance, though music lovers may want to go with the optional 13-speaker or 19-speaker models for a more immersive experience.

For parents, the FamCAM™ interior camera offers a high-definition view of your passengers, even children in rear-facing car seats.
