Review

There is a revolution underway, and it has little to do with nationwide politics. After years of ceding market share to midsize crossovers, the minivan is making a comeback, and for the entire proper causes.

First Minivans

Chrysler modified the automotive panorama in 1984 when it rolled out the primary Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager. These “mini” vans redefined household transportation, wooing people with good, space-efficient cabins, respectable gasoline financial system, and affordable costs—and 42 years later, it’s occurring once more.

Minivan Segment

Through the years, greater than 30 separate minivan fashions had been bought within the U.S., lots of which you seemingly don’t recall. You can verify all of them out right here. Today, simply 4 fashions are supplied on the market. They are:

Minivan Sales Peak

Minivan gross sales peaked in 2000, when practically 1.3 million examples discovered houses within the U.S. Sales dropped as little as 306,000 models in 2023, and had been even decrease in pandemic skewed 2022.

But, blame rising new-vehicle costs—and extra just lately growing fuel costs—shopper curiosity within the tried-and-true minivan has been piqued, suggesting that new-car consumers are doing their homework.

The Minivan Strikes Back

Of curiosity to savvy shoppers: minivans as a class return considerably higher gasoline financial system than do midsize crossovers. While the crossovers are good for a median 19.6 mpg, minivans return 26.5. That quantity is bolstered, to a big diploma, by the hybrid vans supplied by Kia and Toyota.

Minivan Prices

Minivan transaction costs are additionally decrease than these of midsize crossovers. Per Cox Automotive, the typical new minivan was bought for simply over $49,000 in August, about $1300 lower than the typical crossover.

Minivans Advantages

And, minivans serve up extra passenger and cargo house than do midsize crossovers. While this has all the time been the case, we suspect that inflation and rising new-car costs have shocked many automobile consumers again right into a state of practicality that hasn’t been seen shortly.

Strong 2026 Sales

Through the primary half of 2026, minivan gross sales clocked in at 208,000, up about 6 % from the primary half of 2025.

Leading the gross sales cost is the up to date 2027 Chrysler (on sale since May), which has seen gross sales enhance 16 % within the first half of 2026 versus the identical interval in 2025. Seems prospects have responded favorably to the freshened van.

Pacifica Updates for 2027

The 2027 Pacifica refresh targeted primarily on exterior styling, some new options, bundle flexibility, and worth pricing. It isn’t a full redesign—the underlying platform, powertrain, and core options (together with Stow ’n Go seating) carry over.

Updates for 2027 embody:

Exterior

Interior

• New out there premium Blue Agave Nappa leather-based on topline Pinnacle trim
• Increased availability of Uconnect Family Tech Package

Powertrain

Safety

• Upgraded “Safety Sphere,” which now contains turn-signal activated blind-spot view

Availability

• 

  Separate Voyager mannequin, in style with fleet patrons, discontinued for 2027, changed by new entry-level Pacifica LX trim stage

Prices and Trim Levels

And as for affordability, most Pacifica trim ranges lower in worth barely for 2027. Here’s a trying on the ’27 Pacifica lineup:

• LX: $43,590 (up $200 as substitute for discontinued Voyager)
• Select: $46,440 (down $200)
• Limited: $50,090 (down $510)
• Pinnacle $56,905 (down $1185)

At every worth level, excluding the bottom LX, AWD could be had for an extra $2995. The LX is obtainable solely with front-wheel drive. Note additionally, that the brand new LX has not been up to date for 2027, and carries over from the 2026 Voyager with previous-generation styling.

Engines

As famous earlier, Chrysler has dropped the Pacifica Hybrid for 2027, providing solely a 3.6-liter V6 engine and 9-speed automated as the one drivetrain.

Goodbye Hybrid

Though we lament the departure of the hybrid, the plug-in system added significantly to the price of the Pacifica, and required common charging to defray the acquisition worth. We suspect most house owners weren’t particularly diligent about charging—making the usual V6 the higher selection usually.

So, is the up to date 2027 Pacifica a greater minivan? Let’s take a look…

Test Car

Consumer Guide just lately spent per week behind the wheel of an AWD 2027 Chrysler Pacifica Limited in Bright White. Including the vacation spot cost, our take a look at automobile got here to $55,175.

Room and Comfort

As is the case with different minivans, the Pacifica’s entrance doorways open large for simple front-row cabin entry. The step in is straightforward for most people, although the peak challenged might need to make use of the pillar-mounted deal with thoughtfully mounted on the passenger-side A-pillar.

Connectivity

Front-row house is beneficiant, and even the most important drivers will discover a snug seating passenger. Though up to date, the Pacifica’s management format is unchanged, which is ok as Chrysler’s Uconnect 5 infotainment system is straightforward to make use of and customarily hassle free. We discovered the touchscreen simple to learn—even in vibrant gentle—and the display fast to answer contact inputs.

Stow ‘n Go

Access to 2^nd-row seating is by way of sliding aspect doorways, which make loading and unloading cargo or teen a typically painless affair. Chrysler’s now ubiquitous Stow ‘n Go seating, which creates a completely flat load floor, is still the benchmark for minivan stuff-hauling convenience, though this author’s spouse discovered collapsing the two^nd-row seats into the ground required appreciable upper-body energy. Nonetheless, she prevailed.

The 3^rd-row is medium-adult pleasant and affordable simple to entry. And, per Chrysler, there’s greater than 30 cubic toes of house behind the rear seats.

Cabin Updates

Chrysler’s cabin updates for 2027, admittedly minimal, do go a long way to cementing the Pacifica’s place as probably the most luxurious car within the class. Indeed, the van’s huge inside is lined with commendably upscale supplies, and seems properly assembled.

The van’s beneficiant glass space alleviates among the fatigue that comes with long-drives, as do seats—not less than within the ahead two rows—which are each snug and supportive.

Power and Performance

Though the Pacifica’s V6 appears a bit old-school in comparison with the hybrids out there within the Kia and Toyota vans, it’s practically excellent on this software. The largish six delivers ample clean energy, and is quiet going about its enterprise, whereas the 9-speed automated shifts with refined precision.

Fuel Economy

In routine driving with an city bias, we averaged simply over 19 mpg. Expect higher outcomes with extra freeway operation.

Value

Chryslers admits to no tweaks to the Pacifica which may have an effect on quietness or trip high quality. Yet, we discovered our 2027 version of the maker’s minivan to be among the many best-isolated, smoothest-riding automobiles—not simply minivans—we now have ever evaluated. Not that we weren’t equally impressed by the earlier technology Pacifica, solely that the newest instance comes off as much more refined.

In a category of simply 4 automobiles, every of which boasts compelling aggressive options, the Pacifica nonetheless leads the category in passenger/cargo utility, and premium really feel. Funny {that a} redesigned front-end can entice a lot buyer consideration, as Pacifica has the fundamentals coated, and has for years. It’s all a part of the revolution.
