You know you're a dad when these kinds of reviews get you excited.

The pacifica is such a beautiful vehicle inside and out

Alex does always the best reviews.

This is the best review of any car I have ever seen. Great job!

Great review Alex, very neatly put together the comparisons on the side of the video, kudos for the great review, spot on, thanks!

Outstanding review Alex, heads and shoulders above any others. The words per minute with perfect clarity, no stumbling is again, outstanding ! The quality and vastness, completeness of information given has no equal. Thank you !

Good thing Alex drank his coffee this morning! Somebody needs to make a minivan selection tool, you'd only need about 400 parameters

My grandma has a 2010 Chrysler Town and Country, the top of the line trim and I thought it was really nice. It had ambient lighting all around the interior and a nice infotainment system. It’s super comfy but this van looks like a Bentley or a Genesis! It’s beautiful on the inside.

Baby Got Back Sir Mix A Lot lol, Alex has good taste in music!

A on A, best in the review business!

7:47 "gentle undulation" LOL 😂 that's a good way of putting it!

True and the interior of this model looks sweet and luxurious.

Great review Alex, as always. You were literally 5miles from my home in Charlotte at the Olympic white water center.

My dream minivan!! Amazing review Alex.

Alex -- well done here - great review mate :)

We had a 99 chrysler town and county LXI Champagne and tan interior and gold lettering it was great when we need a minivan

Pacifica all the way.....though I do like the long second row seat travel on the Sienna. Still, Stow-n-Go makes the Pacifica great for hauling home improvement items. I've put a full size washer and dryer in my Caravan, and still had room to spare!

💙really enjoy the comprehensive reviews. my only suggestion is to include the trim info in the titles of review videos 💜

That interior is stunning, looks like it could belong in a premium brand like Acura or even a lower end Lexus.

Almost the interior reminds me of the X7 especially the second moonroof for the third row. Nice

Just bought the 2020 AWD Pacifica launch edition, if you wanna see the awd system work I made a small video on youtube, its poor but shows me climbing a steep snowy hill, it's called "testing out the awd system on a 2020 Chrysler Pacifica. Thanks for the review as always!!!

I'm a proud owner of a 2018 Pacifica eHybrid. I live in the snow belt and have snow tires and do better than my old Audi and Subaru did with AWD and all season tires. Skip AWD & get the Hybrid. Side note: I hit 71.5 MPG/MPGe as an all time high this summer.

We have a plug in hybrid 2019 version and love it. A 50 mile electric range would have been nicer but we are registering ~50 mpg/mpge combined with our mix of commute and occasional longer trip.

Id get a trim that still offers stow n go but except for that quibble it looks great.

Fart at 1:08 - you can't convince me otherwise lol. In all seriousness, I love the Pacifica, but hoping they sort out the reliability with this refresh

The vacuum option is dumb. I’d rather have the storage space, and save $500. You can get a $50 battery powered handheld vac from Amazon, and not have to fight a hose.

AWD is nice.

Alex your reviews are so much better than anyone else's.Thanks! A couple of questions: it looks like there is almost no front bumper. If I have a front end collision won't I incur significant damage? Secondly when you do your next review can you fold the second row seats up if your have an EV so we can see how much room is left? For me I live in a city where nothing is further then 8 miles (one way) so the the EV is the perfect solution.

The luggage storage comparison to the large SUVs is funny. Those giant vehicles and they have to have a luggage rack for the hitch or roof for a full family. My dad had a Ford aerostar. It was a family vehicle. The seats were up off the floor and luggage or fishing poles would slide under them. It didn't have much for features but it did have the rear air conditioning. Back when manual transmissions where available.

Great job. We have a black 2109 Limited S Package Hybrid just like you tested a while back. How long did you keep that vehicle? Did you use it beyond the testing period? One other favor, as you test newer vehicle, could you please talk a little about the operation of the adaptive cruise? I’m specifically interested in how the low speed “cutoff” works. Does the adaptive cruise take the vehicle to a complete stop, or does the system disengage at low speed? You live over the hill (looks like you made it through the fires) and we live in the valley. Adaptive cruise that takes the vehicle to a complete stop is an amazing feature in Bay Area stop and go traffic (when it returns). Very relaxing to let the Pacific manage throttle and brake in 10MPH traffic on 280. Combined with lane keeping assist, it is a poor mans semi-autonomous driving machine. I would hate to have an adaptive cruise that constantly requires manual intervention at low speeds. It would prevent any practical use in stop and go traffic. But it would be useful if you could tell us how these systems are implemented in your test vehicles, since details are often lacking on manufacturers web sites.

Its really nice 👍👍

Hope the fixed the electrical issues many were having...

Alex thank you for taking the time to share the vid. When you do your second review on your home turf, could you consider focus on safety side features: Lane keep assist, Lane centering, Forward collision/Autonomous braking, Drowsiness alert, Blind spot alert - does it have it like the Telluride/Palisade? Does it automatically bring the car back into the centering of the lane if it veers to another lane? Backup alert - does it automatically brake? Tire pressure monitoring system - does it show the separate number for each corner or just one generic warning? Does it have auto resume cruise control? Does it have Head-up Display? Does it have Rear occupant alert? I am very interested in learning more about the safety features since it will be a people and cargo carrier and road trips...etc. Thanks and looking forward to your next review.

Great video as always. Is the seating position as high as it’s in a mid-size SUV like a Pilot? Thanks.

This is by far the best minivan out there

Since Toyota and Chrysler recently restyled there mini vans... ive oddly been seeing older ones everywhere i go. lol.

I'd probably get the AWD Pacifica. If I was going to go the hybrid route I'd go with the sienna though. I'm not to intrested in plugging my vehicle up to charge it. With a regular or traditional hybrid the battery would be charged as you drive.

Alex farted at 1:09. He tried to play it off lol.

After months of waiting and looking, I'll likely bite the bullet and buy the 2020 Pacifica Hybrid Limited next week. Lower prices (thanks to rebate) and immediate availability make its appeal. Otherwise I would have waited for the 2021 Pacifica Hybrid, but by the looks of things it won't be available until Jan-Feb. The 2021 Sienna Hybrid lacks the rebate and is also limited in availability due to the pandemic.

I would so greatly appreciate a review on the hybrid pinnacle. I can’t seem to find anyone reviewing the hybrid.

The previous generation pacifica came with all wheel drive and it's been like that for years!

Could you please review the sort of new or refreshed 2021 Land Rover Discovery HSE Lux As soon as u get it?

Can you please bring back the camera angle of the wheels spinning while you're driving the way you had it back in 2017, for instance? I really miss that. Thank you.

Alex, do you know if the 2021 hybrid has a trim that includes a second row bench plus 360 cam?

is this using the ZF 9 Speed that caused Honda and others so many problems that many gave up on it?

So did you get any whitewater rafting in while you were in Charlotte? 😁

Me too, Sienna AWD

I would want the AWD but with the plug in ability. I think I would use the plug in system as much as possible and I feel like it would be the majority of the time. Its a shame that they didn't build one with both.

The 2020 Pacifica 35th anniversary edition had AWD.

I just ordered a Pacifica Limited AWD. I am coming out of a Dodge Charger with the V6 because the Limited AWD felt and sounded like my charger except with much more practicality.

How things change! The 2019 Review had the Pacifica as one of the largest minivans, but by 2021 it's smaller than Odyssey and Sienna?? Anyway, got my Hybrid Limited this weekend. Incentives and Rebates were too good to pass up and put the pricing below the competition!

How reliable are these? Hearing electrical/uconnect and engine stalling issues are common

I am waiting for the redesign Sedona. It looks way better. Hope it has hybrid when come to North America.

Is no one going to mention how he has Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-A-Lot in the radio at 10:00?

Maybe I didn't hear it right but did u say this pacifica doesn't have stow n go? 🤔 if not why? Is this the hybrid one or did I miss something?

Minivans are now officially crossing the $50k threshold! The Sedona still looks the best.

where the market has shifted mini van aren't competing amongst each other as such as against larger SUV and having the 2nd row seats a fitted to the vehicle doesn't make a difference to a SUV buyer on the fence between it or a Van besides the 3rd row down in a Van gives more space than in a SUV with 2nd and 3rd down

This minivan and the Sedona are my 2 most favorite minivans.

Why the 2019-2021 Pacifica Hybrids are rated EPA 30 MPG when battery is depleted while the older models 2017,2018 are rated EPA 32 MPG when battery is depleted as well?

Hopefully these take over the Motor City 😅🙌🏾

The back seat head rests look so flat in today’s mini vans lol. I remember they use to be so big

I believe the hybrid does not have stow-n-go seats.

I LOVE THESE MINI VANS , i live in the UK and these type of vans are just not available , for a while we had people carrier cars which were like these but nowhere near as innovative ,now all we have are small to medium size crossovers, so dull and nowhere near as practical for large families .

As long as you take care of your Chrysler, they are reliable. If you treat every car like Toyota, you'll definitely only love Toyotas. Remember, there are not only AK-47 on the market, but more fragile M-16, M-4 all over the grounds

1. 2021 Sienna AWD (mpg with awd) 2. Pacifica Hybrid (PHEV electric range) 3. 2022 Kia Sedona (best looking)

*This and the Sienna look good*

I want the hybrid. I don’t need AWD, which adds weight, mpg, and cost. It only snows a couple times a year here. Good tires are more important. I have a truck for hauling stuff, so the middle seats isn’t a problem. I want the seats as comfy as possible.

Pacifica is the best minivan so far. Be it performance, fit and finish or the attention to the detail. Definitely people like me are confused between plug-in hybrid or awd 😄

no lane keep assist?

1:24 Pacifica actually have the largest dimensions for exterior man. It’s larger than the odyssey and sienna

headlights and grille remind me of ford taurus

43000 bucks for a top of the line Pinnacle hybrid... That is a good deal really

The new Pacifica has a really nice interior. I also like the AWD option. What is the towing capacity?

They should shove a hellcat motor in this next!

I actually liked the older pre-facelift front design...

So how, exactly, does the Pacifica hybrid get 82 mpg?

Does the rear hatch door window open?

I have the current version of Kia Sedona and front wheel slip happens all the time even when I upgraded the tires. The new Sedona is also FWD only which is disappointing.

I have a 2020 all wheel drive.

I wonder if Chrysler did anything to improve the small overlap crash test performance.

Question?! We have the 2021 Hybrid Pacifica! When we drove it off the lot, it had

I have a 2004 Sienna AWD Limited and its amazing in the snow and long trips, sad is the new Sienna is blaaa slow and no more V6, so I'm going to check out the the C. Pacifica AWD P. model but wonder about FCA quality vs my reliable Toyota

For the hybrid version: Any idea if they addressed the 12v battery issued that caused the recall on the prior model years? I was surprised to see that Chrysler still has not come up with a permanent fix for the recall on the 2020 and still recommend “do not park these vehicles inside of buildings or structures, or near other vehicles”. I would worry they would come out with a similar recall for this MY a few months after release.

I feel like you should be the next host for MotorWeek.

I'm still waiting for a new version of the Chevy Astro...V6 minivan with 5k+ towing capacity and AWD. Please, for the love of...someone make one!

Can pacifica come with stow and go, awd and 8 seat configuration together?

this is at the pinnacle of all trims - the Pinnacle trim.

While I think minivan's are a better buy then a SUV, comfort and other amenities, I don't think I would buy a Pacifica. I think if I were to buy a new minivan, I would go for the Sienna. In all trim levels for them being a hybrid, it's a no brainier. However, I hate the idea of waving your foot under the car to open the door. Who wants to do the hokey pokey holding your kids or groceries to open the door? The Sedona has a better way of opening up the trunk, just stand there and it opens within 3 seconds.

I've been puzzled for years as to why more automakers don't offer AWD in their minivans. In the early nineties I owned an '89 AWD Mazda MPV. On an isolated logging road in early spring in the Washington Cascades, it slid off the icy surface into a deep snow filled ditch beside the road. Without the AWD I doubt I would have been able to get it out of the ditch and that would have meant a very risky hike of about 10 miles in a snowstorm. The Mazda wasn't the greatest vehicle I've ever owned but it likely saved my wife's and my lives. That's something I can't say about other automobile I've ever owned.

Alex, you said the floor is wavy (undulating). Since one of the attractions of the minivan is an improvised sleeping bed on shorter hiking or fishing trips (or even long road trips), how bad is this floor for that purpose?

Isn't it finally again? Didn't it have AWD for a short time?

best looking of all the minivans is the 17-20 pacifica "s" package with the original 20" black noise wheels. AWD is over-rated too. winter tires way more significant.

I’d like a review of the limited. Everyone is skipping over the fact that some genius at Chrysler decided if you were willing to pay for the Pinnacle, you did not need or want a second row stow and go. That’s right, they eliminated the second row stow and go in the gas versions as well. If you want a second row stow and go seat, then the Limited is the highest model that it is available in. As far as I can tell, the only selling points for the Pinnacle at the highest price is that all the packages are added (even if you don’t want them), caramel leather seats, and a full arm rest. However, you lose the second row stow and go. I don’t know about anyone else, but that is not a worthwhile trade off. I was planning on the Pinnacle. Now, this model does not hold any appeal. Oh well, that saves me around $4000. Still, I would like to see a review of a limited. Are the seats actually less comfortable in the front or is it just the color that is different? Are there really any other substantial differences other than the lost stow and go?

That interior makes the new 2021 Sienna look cheap 👀

The interior's great...FCA does great interiors

I ordered a 2021 Pacifica Hybrid when ordering first opened in Sept to replace a Sonata PHEV. Hoping to get it very soon. Decided to go with it over the new Sienna because I work from home so 99% of all of my driving is within that 30 miles of EV range. Plus, the new Uconnect5 system seemed light years ahead of what even the new Sienna will have. Look forward to that deep dive on Uconnect 5.

With the plug-in subsidy I think this is the no brainier pick in the segment unless you drive extremely long trips or tow (a camper van or something) in which case the Sienna. Toyota probably should probably offer a Sienna Prime. If you want AWD, I think the Sienna, but do you really need that in a minivan? If you can't get going in the snow without AWD *even with snow tires,* I wouldn't go driving with my kids anyway...AWD won't help you stop! (I understand some people live on hills or for similar reasons do actually need the AWD in snow that's safe to drive in.)

The second-row seat cushion is really thin, and the 3rd-row seat backrest is way too low.

The hybrid makes loads of sense though, 30 miles pure electric that's like 2 or 3 days for me and for everything else just run on petrol.

Why Chrysler won't bring back the Aspen?
