Is There a 2027 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid? What Ontario Families Should Know
No. There is no 2027 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. Chrysler lists the Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid among its discontinued vehicles, and every 2027 Pacifica uses the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission.
If you have been shopping for a plug-in minivan, that answer probably comes as a surprise. Parent company Stellantis cancelled all of its North American plug-in hybrid programs beginning with the 2026 model year. That made the 2025 Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid the last one built. It was the only plug-in hybrid minivan ever sold in the United States. There is no direct replacement for it in the current lineup.
That leaves two realistic paths: the refreshed 2027 Pacifica, or a pre-owned Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid. Here is what each one actually offers.
What Did the Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid Offer?
The Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid paired the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with two electric motors and a lithium-ion battery pack. For routine suburban driving in Ontario, its electric-only range covered most days without using gasoline. School runs, errands, short local trips. When the battery depleted, the system moved to hybrid operation on the V6 automatically, with no driver input required.
Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid Specifications
| Specification | Figure |
|---|---|
| Battery pack | 16 kWh lithium-ion |
| All-electric range | Up to 32 miles (EPA-estimated) |
| Combined efficiency | 82 MPGe (EPA-estimated) |
| Total range | Up to 520 miles on a full tank and full charge (EPA-estimated) |
These figures come from Chrysler’s own Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid page. They describe the discontinued model, so they apply to pre-owned examples only. If you are weighing a used plug-in, it is worth understanding how California’s EV and PHEV incentives changed in 2026 before you shop.
EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
How Long Did It Take to Charge a Pacifica Hybrid at Home?
The Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid came with a Level 1 charging cord that plugged into a standard grounded 120-volt household outlet. Chrysler rated a full charge at about 14 hours that way. A 240-volt Level 2 home charging station cut it to roughly two hours.
A dedicated Level 2 charger was never required. Overnight Level 1 charging restored the electric range for typical daily use. Level 2 suited households running multiple mid-day trips. The vehicle also used regenerative braking. It captured kinetic energy during deceleration and sent it back to the battery pack.
Level 1 Charging
Standard grounded 120-volt household outlet. Full charge in about 14 hours. Charging cord included with the vehicle, no installation needed.
Level 2 Charging
240-volt home charging station. Full charge in roughly two hours. Requires a separately purchased and installed charging station.
The trade-offs between the two charging levels apply to any plug-in vehicle, not just this one. Our guide to Level 1 vs. Level 2 home charging in California covers the utility-rate side in more detail.
What Is the Seating Capacity and Cabin Layout of the 2027 Chrysler Pacifica?
Seating Configurations
The 2027 Pacifica seats seven passengers in standard configurations. Eight-passenger seating with a three-across second-row bench is available on the Select trim.
Stow ‘n Go Seating
Second-row Stow ‘n Go seating is standard on the LX, Select, and Limited. These seats fold flat into underfloor bins without being removed. When the seats are upright, those bins hold sports gear, luggage, or emergency supplies out of sight. Chrysler states the Pacifica is the only minivan with second-row Stow ‘n Go. The Pinnacle uses second-row captain’s chairs and the Ultra Console instead, and its second-row seats are removable or tumble forward.
Third-row Stow ‘n Go is standard on every trim, folding the 60/40 split bench into the rear cargo floor. Third-row seats stow rather than remove.
Cargo Space
32.3 Cubic Feet
Behind the third row, with all three rows in use.
87.5 Cubic Feet
Behind the second row, with the third row stowed.
140.5 Cubic Feet
Behind the first row, with both rear rows stowed.
On the discontinued Plug-In Hybrid, the battery pack sat beneath the floor where the second-row storage wells would otherwise be. Those models seated seven with captain’s chairs only, with no second-row bench and no second-row in-floor storage.
What Infotainment Technology Comes in the 2027 Chrysler Pacifica?
Standard Technology
Every 2027 Pacifica includes Uconnect 5 with a 10.1-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay, and wireless Android Auto.
Available Packages
For 2027, Chrysler separated two packages that were previously bundled together. Per Chrysler’s 2027 Pacifica technology page, the Family Tech Group is available on the Select and Limited and standard on the Pinnacle. It adds the FamCAM interior camera, which shows a split-screen view of the back rows on the center touchscreen and lets you see into rear-facing car seats. The group also brings Uconnect 5 NAV, an audio upgrade, window shades, and a 115-volt power outlet.
The Theater Group is available on the Pinnacle only. It adds two 10-inch HD touchscreens for the second row with independent streaming, Amazon Fire TV built in, three-channel video remote controls, and a Blu-ray player.
Audio Systems
Audio scales with trim. The 13-speaker Alpine system is available on the Select and standard on the Limited. The 19-speaker Harman Kardon system with a 10-inch subwoofer is available on the Limited and standard on the Pinnacle.
| Trim | 2nd-Row Stow ‘n Go | Available AWD | 13-Speaker Alpine | 19-Speaker Harman Kardon | Safety Sphere Package |

| Limited | Standard | Yes | Standard | Available | Available |
| Pinnacle | Captain’s chairs and Ultra Console instead | Yes | Not offered | Standard | Standard |
What Safety and Driver-Assist Features Protect Your Family?
Standard Safety Features
Chrysler says the 2027 Pacifica offers the most standard safety and security features in its class, a claim the brand bases on its premium minivan segment. Per Chrysler’s 2027 Pacifica safety page, every trim includes the following as standard equipment:
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go
- Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking
- Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking
- LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist
- Blind Spot Monitoring
- Rear Cross Path Detection

Eight airbags are positioned around all three rows of the cabin.
Available Safety Sphere Package
The Safety Sphere Package is standard on the Pinnacle and available on the Select and Limited. It adds a 360-degree surround-view camera, ParkSense front and rear park assist with stop, and ParkSense-based camera activation. It also adds Turn Signal-Activated Blind Spot View, which uses a camera on the exterior mirror to show your blind spot on the 10.1-inch Uconnect touchscreen when you signal.

Common Questions About the Chrysler Pacifica
What happened when the hybrid battery ran out of charge while driving?
The Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid switched to hybrid operation automatically once the battery was depleted, continuing on the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with no loss of power, acceleration, or cabin climate control. The system then behaved like a conventional gas-electric hybrid, using regenerative braking to help assist the gas engine.
Did the Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid require a Level 2 charger at home?
No. It included a Level 1 charging cord that plugged into any grounded 120-volt household outlet and delivered a full charge in about 14 hours. A 240-volt Level 2 charger was optional and reduced that to roughly two hours.
How does fuel economy differ between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive 2027 Pacifica models?
Front-wheel-drive models are EPA-estimated at 19 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined. All-wheel drive, available on the Select, Limited, and Pinnacle, is EPA-estimated at 17 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 20 mpg combined. The LX is front-wheel drive only.
Front-Wheel Drive
EPA-estimated 19 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, 22 mpg combined. Standard on every trim, and the only drivetrain offered on the LX.

How much cargo space is behind the third row?
With all three rows in use, the 2027 Pacifica offers 32.3 cubic feet behind the third row. Folding the 60/40 split third row flat into the floor expands that to 87.5 cubic feet behind the second row.
What changed on the 2027 Chrysler Pacifica?
The Select, Limited, and Pinnacle received a new front fascia with vertical LED headlamps and an illuminated grille. The LX, which replaces the Voyager as the entry trim, keeps the previous exterior design. An adjustable-height power liftgate became standard across the lineup, and the Family Tech and Theater packages were separated. Details are in Chrysler’s 2027 Pacifica announcement.
