The change of name is Chrysler made to ensure that young doelgroepklanten no longer need to identify with the cars in which they are by their parents are conceived.
A’s image problem, that is where Chrysler was facing. The Voyager, in the USA for a year and a day “Town & Country” called, was the ultimate minivan. And a minivan you can buy in the US if you finally have decided that your adult life will lead. Road wild hair, hello mediocrity, that idea. And that meant Chrysler, not more, so therefore: Pacifica.
The Pacifica is also completely new. Although the exterior dimensions are virtually the same remained, the Pacifica, and completely new designed chassis. There was also about 150 pounds of the weight skived. For the lines is clear inspiration drawn from cars like the Chrysler 200, a lot more modern and tighter than the previous model Town & Country. Also important in the pursuit of the young customer: 20 inch can now, while previously 17 inch the max. The interior is a lot less woolly, with chairs available that are completely in the floor can be weggevouwen for a flat loading floor. A Pentastar V6 delivers 290 horsepower and 355 Nm.
Although we have a lot of segments to know with hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants, we can as soon as not on a brand that already has a MPV with hybrid or electric drive. Chrysler just do it, with the Pacifica, which is equipped with a 16 kWh batterypack. The car has an electric range of 30 miles (about 48 km) and has as a back-up light teruggetunede 3.6 Pentastar V6 which is also in the “normal” Pacifica will be found. This results in the Hybrid 251 hp and 312 Nm of torque. Incidentally, calls Chrysler a Hybrid because they do not want customers to be scared of the addition of “plug-in”, but it is a stekkerhybride. The batteries sit under the floor of the car, so you can no foldable chairs get in the hybrid variant. Charging the batteries takes two hours.
