Other than these changes, the rest of the 2024 Pacifica matches its 2023 counterpart.

With exterior design, the 2024 Pacifica has kept its sleek, modern appearance with nice wheels that give the minivan quite a flare. With sliding doors, roof rails, and long body, you can customize your minivan with new colors like Sepia, Red Hot, or Baltic Gray. Overall, you get a great looking minivan that is fit for day-to-day family needs or long vacation trips.

As for the interior, the 2024 Pacifica has quite an impressive cabin. The Pacifica comes with features like multiple cubbies, slide-out bins, and plenty of cupholders. The cabin has a spacious and open vibe that most families love. The materials that make up the seating are good, but you can get quilted leather upholstery with lumbar pillows for second-row captain chairs if you go with the Pinnacle trim.

Furthermore, you get Stow ‘n Go seats that allow for easy folding of the second and third row seats to give you more storage. Normally, you get about 32 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row of seats, but with the Stow ‘n Go seats, you can get about 140 cubic feet of cargo space, which is great for a minivan. The seats are comfortable, and you can get optional features like a built-in vacuum to always be ready for any mess. The overall feel of the interior is functional, spacious, and comfortable.

A 2024 Pacifica comes with a Uconnect 5 infotainment system, and it comes with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Wi-Fi hotspot on a 10.1-inch touchscreen. You can also get rear touch screens that come with Amazon Fire TV to stream TV or content. You get 12 USB-C ports for faster charging to multiple devices.

As for safety, the 2024 Pacifica comes with adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, front automatic braking, and rear-cross traffic alert. Additional features that are available are trailer-sway control, 360-degree camera, automatic parking assistance, and front and rear parking sensors. These features are meant to give you a comfortable and safe experience.

The standard engine that comes with both 2024 and 2023 Chrysler Pacifica is a 3.6-liter V6 with 287 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. The engine has a nine-speed automatic transmission and comes in FWS; however, you can get an AWD configuration. In FWD, the fuel economy is about 19 city/28 highway MPG while the fuel economy in AWD is 17 city/25 highway MPG.

You can get a hybrid version of the engine that comes with two electric motors, but you only get 260 horsepower instead of the 287 horsepower of the gas engine. However, you get up to 33 miles of all-electric travel before the gas engine must take over, which is quite impressive for a minivan. The fuel economy is about 85 MPGe and is very conservative its gas consumption.

One important thing to note is that the standard engine can tow up to 3,600 pounds, but Chrysler recommends not towing anything with the hybrid version. Whichever engine you decide to go with, you will be impressed with its power and fuel economy.
