Overview
The 2025 Chrysler Pacifica is America's best-selling minivan — a title it has held for multiple consecutive years. Its combination of Stow 'N Go seating, available PHEV, and strong tech content keeps it ahead of the Toyota Sienna.
Minivans have lower center of gravity than 3-row SUVs, sliding doors (safer for parking lots), lower step-in height, and more efficient use of space. The Pacifica's 32-mi PHEV is the most efficient 7-passenger family vehicle available in the US.

Stow N Go Seating
EPA highway rating measured at 55 mph. Real-world highway at 70 mph is typically 26–28 mpg. Towing near max capacity reduces highway fuel economy 20–30% — budget accordingly for trailer trips.
No other minivan — not the Toyota Sienna, not the Kia Carnival — offers second-row seats that fold into the floor without removal. This is Chrysler's most valuable minivan innovation and available on all gas Pacifica trims.
Stow 'N Go is Chrysler's exclusive feature: second-row seats that fold completely flat into the floor — no removal required. This transforms the Pacifica from 7-seat minivan to flat cargo floor in under 60 seconds.
Note: Stow 'N Go is NOT available on the Hybrid PHEV (battery occupies the under-floor space) — important for buyers choosing between gas and PHEV.
Pacifica Hybrid PHEV
The Hybrid's battery pack occupies the under-floor space used by Stow N Go. PHEV buyers get electric range and efficiency; gas buyers get Stow N Go. Choose your priority — you cannot have both.
The Pacifica Hybrid delivers 32 miles of all-electric range — enough to run errands and school runs without burning gasoline. At 82 MPGe combined, PHEV buyers who charge daily report averaging 50–70 mpg effective in mixed real-world use.
Family Features
At $39,990 with Stow N Go and Uconnect 5 standard, the Pacifica offers more standard features than the Toyota Sienna at comparable pricing. Sienna wins on standard AWD; Pacifica wins on Stow N Go and tech.
Available dual rear-seat entertainment (10.1-inch screens), available rear USB ports throughout, wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, and a standard 10.1-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen make the Pacifica the most tech-equipped minivan in America.
Reliability
Pacifica reliability is above average. The 3.6L Pentastar is extremely proven. Hybrid system has been solid since 2017 launch. Some door hardware issues reported.
| Area | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 3.6L Pentastar V6 | Excellent | Proven over millions of FCA vehicles; excellent longevity |
| Hybrid PHEV System | Good | Stable since 2017; battery degradation minimal |
| Stow N Go Mechanism | Good | Well-engineered; occasional seat latch wear on high-use |
| Sliding Doors | Average | Some door motor failures reported; OTA or dealer fix |
| Electronics/Uconnect | Good | Uconnect 5 reliable; OTAs delivered regularly |
| Overall | Good | One of the most reliable minivans on the market |
Consult Consumer Reports, J.D. Power, and NHTSA for the specific model year you are considering. Build year matters significantly.
