Minivans have always been an excellent option for families. They provide the perfect mix of storage, safety, technology, and fuel-efficiency compared to similarly sized vehicles. The 2018 Chrysler Pacifica is leading the way when it comes to minivans, and here are four reasons why so many think the Pacifica is an exceptional choice.
- A Full Suite of Great Features
There are six available trim levels for the Pacifica, making them a viable option for all budgets. Some of the higher trims, like the Touring L, Touring L Plus, and Limited, feature luxurious interiors. Things like alloy wheels and heated mirrors are nice added touches to the overall package.
- Storage Space
A minivan without ample storage is like a rocket ship without any engines — the lack of space would be a big flaw. Thankfully, the 2018 Pacifica doesn’t have that problem, and you’ll find plenty of ways to bring home the twins’ sports gear and two weeks’ worth of groceries all at once. If you’re heading out on vacation, you can pack all the luggage and beach gear you could ever need without folding down the middle-row seats. If you’re driving the gear car for a larger traveling group, all rear seats can be folded down to accommodate 53 pieces of carry-on luggage.
- Safety Features
Minivans are usually synonymous with families, and that means safety is a top priority. The Pacifica received five-star ratings in crash tests and features side-curtain air bags for all passenger seats. The front seats have front and side air bags.
In addition to the outstanding crash test ratings and generous air bag placement, there is a wide array of driver-assist safety features available on the 2018 Pacifica. Standard features include blind spot monitors, parking sensors, and rear backup collision braking. Higher trim levels have even more great features, such as parking assist, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and front collision emergency braking.
- Interior Comfort and Infotainment
Chrysler knows that a 1,500-mile family road trip can go south in a hurry if everyone in the family isn’t happy. At the end of the day, legroom is king, and the 2018 Pacifica is near the top of the pack for all rows with 36.5 to 41 inches of space. There are ample power outlets and USB ports to keep everyone’s devices charged and at the ready.
The second-row seats have many of the same amenities as the front row, such as heated seats. There are also two 10-inch touch screens mounted on the back of the front seats for maximum entertainment opportunity. All three rows have heating and cooling vents, while the second row has single-zone climate control. The front row has dual-zone climate control.
No matter how far the road takes you, you can be sure the 2018 Pacifica will be there with you. The ample storage space, amazing safety features, and overall comfort of the interior make it the perfect car for families.
