The 2027 Chrysler Pacifica is a refreshed, gas-only minivan sold in four trims — LX, Select, Limited, and Pinnacle — starting at $41,495 before the $1,995 destination charge. It uses a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 (287 hp / 262 lb-ft) with a 9-speed automatic. AWD is available on Select, Limited, and Pinnacle, but not LX. There is no 2027 Pacifica Hybrid — the plug-in hybrid was discontinued. Ordering is open now, with dealer arrivals in summer 2026.
If you want a hybrid minivan, look at the Toyota Sienna or Kia Carnival Hybrid instead. If you want Stow ‘n Go seating, available AWD, and V6 power, the Pacifica remains the strongest minivan in its class for that combination.

Refresh, Not Redesign
The 2027 Pacifica is a mid-cycle refresh, not a ground-up redesign. The platform, cabin layout, and minivan shape carry over. What’s new is the face: Select, Limited, and Pinnacle get vertical LED headlamps, an illuminated grille (Chrysler calls the lighting pattern “piano keys”), a new Chrysler wing badge, and updated wheel designs.
The LX is the exception. It was formerly the standalone Voyager and has been folded into the Pacifica lineup as the base trim — but it keeps the previous-generation front-end design. Shoppers who specifically want the new 2027 look should start at Select, not LX.
New colors include Olive Green (available now) and Ember, Glass Gray, and Steel Blue, all listed as late-availability for 2026.
Release Date and Availability
Chrysler has ordering open now for the 2027 Pacifica, with dealer arrivals scheduled for summer 2026. Availability will vary by region, trim, and drivetrain — AWD units tend to be prioritized for colder-climate states, and Limited/Pinnacle trims typically arrive in smaller numbers than LX and Select.
Before placing a deposit, ask your dealer:
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Which trim is this — LX, Select, Limited, or Pinnacle? | Trim determines exterior styling, not just features |
| Does this specific unit have AWD? | AWD isn’t offered on LX at all |
| Is the $1,995 destination charge included in the quoted price? | Chrysler’s advertised MSRP excludes it |
| Which optional packages are added? | Family Tech Group and Theater Group both affect final price |
| Is the color in stock or late-availability? | Steel Blue, Ember, and Glass Gray roll out later in the model year |
Pricing by Trim
| Trim | Drivetrain | MSRP (before destination) |
|---|---|---|
| LX | FWD | $41,495 |
| Select | FWD | $44,545 |
| Select | AWD | $47,890 |
| Limited | FWD | $49,705 |
| Limited | AWD | $53,050 |
| Pinnacle | FWD | $54,910 |
| Pinnacle | AWD | $58,255 |
AWD adds roughly $2,995–$3,345 depending on trim. It’s worth the premium for buyers in snow-belt states (Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Colorado, New York, Vermont); FWD with good tires is adequate for most warmer climates.
Engine, Power, and Fuel Economy
Every 2027 Pacifica trim uses the same 3.6-liter Pentastar V6: 287 horsepower, 262 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic. There’s no four-cylinder or hybrid alternative this year.
- FWD: up to 19 mpg city / 28 mpg highway
- AWD: up to 17 mpg city / 25 mpg highway
- Fuel tank: ~19 gallons, regular 87-octane gas
The trade-off is straightforward: the V6 gives smooth, predictable highway power with a full cabin and cargo load, but it won’t compete with a hybrid on fuel costs.
Is There a 2027 Pacifica Hybrid?
No. Chrysler discontinued the plug-in hybrid Pacifica as part of a broader Stellantis powertrain strategy shift, and the 2027 lineup is gas-only across all four trims. This is a change from prior model years, so it’s worth confirming directly if you’re cross-shopping — dealers sometimes still have leftover previous-generation hybrid inventory, which is a separate vehicle from the 2027 lineup described here.
If a hybrid minivan is a requirement, the Toyota Sienna (standard hybrid, up to ~36 mpg combined) and Kia Carnival Hybrid are the two direct alternatives. Chrysler’s compensating advantage is that the Pacifica is the only minivan offering both AWD and second/third-row Stow ‘n Go seating on Select and Limited trims.
Interior and Cargo
Most 2027 Pacifica trims seat 7, with 8-passenger configurations available and up to 243 total seating arrangements possible across options. Cargo capacity:
- 32.3 cu ft behind the third row
- 87.5 cu ft behind the second row
- 140.5 cu ft with second and third rows stowed or removed
Stow ‘n Go, by trim
| Trim | Second row | Third row |
|---|---|---|
| LX | Stow ‘n Go | Stow ‘n Go |
| Select | Stow ‘n Go | Stow ‘n Go |
| Limited | Stow ‘n Go | Stow ‘n Go |
| Pinnacle | Removable / tumble-forward | Stow ‘n Go |
Pinnacle trades second-row Stow ‘n Go for premium removable/tumble-forward seats and an Ultra Console — a reasonable trade for buyers prioritizing front-row luxury over maximum floor-fold flexibility.
Interior by trim
| Trim | Interior focus | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| LX | Core family functionality | Budget-first buyers |
| Select | Refreshed styling at a modest premium | Most shoppers |
| Limited | Upgraded materials and comfort | Long-term ownership |
| Pinnacle | Blue Agave Nappa leather, Copper Alloy accents, Parquet perforation | Buyers who want the top cabin |
Safety: What’s New
The available Safety Sphere Package adds two features for 2027:
- Turn Signal-Activated Blind Spot View — activating a turn signal displays the corresponding mirror camera on the 10.1-inch touchscreen
- ParkSense-Based Camera Activation — rear park-assist alerts automatically trigger a camera view while reversing
Standard safety equipment across the lineup includes forward collision warning with active braking, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning with lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear park assist, and rear cross-path detection.
Family Tech Group vs. Theater Group
Chrysler split rear-seat tech into two distinct, separately priced packages for 2027:
- Family Tech Group — Uconnect 5 (10.1-inch display), FamCAM, Stow ‘n Vac, second/third-row window shades, a 115-volt outlet, third-row USB charging, upgraded audio depending on trim
- Theater Group — 10-inch rear HD touchscreens with built-in Amazon Fire TV
If your kids already use tablets, Family Tech Group alone likely covers your needs. Theater Group is for families who specifically want built-in rear screens.
Which Trim Should You Buy?
- Buy LX if minimum price is the only priority and the older exterior styling doesn’t bother you.
- Buy Select for the best value — it gets the new face, offers AWD, and stays close to LX pricing. This is the right default for most shoppers.
- Buy Limited if you plan to keep the van long-term and want nicer materials and a more settled ride feel.
- Buy Pinnacle if you want the Blue Agave leather interior and don’t mind paying for it.
How It Compares
| Model | Buy it for | Skip it if |
|---|---|---|
| 2027 Chrysler Pacifica | Stow ‘n Go, available AWD, V6 power, max cargo flexibility | You want a hybrid |
| Toyota Sienna | Standard hybrid fuel economy, available AWD | You want Stow ‘n Go or a V6 feel |
| Honda Odyssey | Strong reliability reputation, roomy cabin | You need AWD or hybrid |
| Kia Carnival | SUV-like styling, hybrid trim offered | You need AWD |
Common Buyer Concerns
| Concern | Pacifica’s answer | Verify before buying |
|---|---|---|
| “I need more room than an SUV” | Up to 140.5 cu ft cargo | Cargo config varies by trim |
| “My kids hit doors in parking lots” | Standard power sliding doors | Test with your kids present |
| “I drive in snow” | AWD on Select/Limited/Pinnacle | Not offered on LX |
| “I want lower fuel costs” | V6 is smooth but not hybrid-efficient | Compare Sienna/Carnival Hybrid mpg directly |
| “I need space for car seats” | Wide cabin, sliding doors | Bring your actual car seats to test-fit |
| “I want the new look” | Select and above get the refresh | LX keeps the old face |
| “I want rear entertainment” | Theater Group available | Confirm it’s on the build you’re quoting |
| “I park in a low garage” | Height-adjustable power liftgate is standard | Set your preferred height at delivery |
Bottom Line
The 2027 Pacifica doesn’t reinvent the minivan — it sharpens the face, adds two useful camera-based safety features, reorganizes the tech packages, and holds onto the things that made it competitive: Stow ‘n Go, available AWD, and best-in-class cargo flexibility. Its clearest weakness is the absence of a hybrid option in a segment where the Sienna and Carnival Hybrid are pulling fuel-conscious buyers.
For families prioritizing cargo flexibility, AWD availability, and V6 driving feel over fuel economy, the 2027 Pacifica is worth a close look — just confirm your trim, get the out-the-door price with destination included, and don’t assume LX photos match what you’ll see on a Select, Limited, or Pinnacle.
