Founded 1925 by Walter P. Chrysler, who had previously rescued Maxwell Motor Company from bankruptcy. At its peak, Chrysler Corporation was America's third-largest automaker, producing the Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth, and later Jeep and RAM nameplates. Today, under Stellantis, the Chrysler brand has a dramatically narrowed focus on minivans.
Parent / Ownership: Stellantis (NYSE: STLA). HQ: Auburn Hills, Michigan. Founded: 1925. The Pacifica is built in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. It is the only plug-in hybrid minivan sold in the US — an important distinction for family buyers seeking electrification without the range anxiety of a full EV.
The Pacifica PHEV provides approximately 32 miles of electric-only range — sufficient for most school runs, grocery trips, and daily commutes — with the gasoline engine handling longer trips seamlessly. The Voyager serves the fleet and budget segment without the Pacifica's premium features or PHEV option.
3 years / 36,000 miles bumper-to-bumper. 5 years / 60,000 miles powertrain. Pacifica PHEV battery: 10 years / 150,000 miles. Verify at chrysler.com.
Reliability
The Pacifica has a mixed reliability history. The PHEV powertrain in early model years (2017–2020) had documented stalling, software, and electrical concerns. Later model years (2022+) have improved substantially. The Voyager, sharing the same platform, mirrors Pacifica reliability trends. Both benefit from the platform's long production history — mechanical issues are well-understood and dealer technicians are experienced with the platform.

| Pacifica PHEV (2022+) | Mixed | Mixed | Much improved vs. early builds | |

Consult Consumer Reports, J.D. Power, NHTSA safety ratings, and IIHS for the specific model year you are considering.

Buying Tips 2026
The Pacifica PHEV is the only PHEV minivan in the US — if electrification matters, it's the only choice. It qualifies for the $7,500 federal PHEV tax credit (verify at fueleconomy.gov — subject to income limits and sourcing rules). Only purchase 2022+ PHEV builds — early units had significant documented issues. The Voyager is best evaluated for fleets; consumer buyers should pay the premium for the Pacifica. Negotiate assertively — Pacifica has healthy dealer margins and Stellantis frequently offers incentives.
1. Verify current pricing at manufacturer website (prices change frequently). 2. Check all open NHTSA recalls at nhtsa.gov/recalls using the VIN. 3. Confirm any EV/PHEV tax credit eligibility at fueleconomy.gov/feg/taxcenter.do. 4. Get a pre-purchase inspection from an independent certified shop for used vehicles. 5. Compare Consumer Reports and J.D. Power data for your specific model year.
