2026 Model Year Overview
The 2026 Chrysler Pacifica — What the Full Lineup Delivers
The 2026 Chrysler Pacifica arrives with a full trim ladder, two distinct powertrains, and the kind of interior flexibility that no three-row SUV in its price range can match. Stow 'N Go seating folds all three rows into floor compartments. A plug-in hybrid powertrain delivers up to 32 miles of electric range. AWD is available on the gas lineup. And the Pinnacle trim competes with near-luxury vans at a fraction of the price.
This page is a full model overview. Each topic below links to a dedicated guide covering it in detail. For available Ram 1500 inventory — new and used — visit the Chrysler Pacifica lineup page at Beadle's Chrysler Center.
