2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid in Las Cruces NM: A Greener Family Vehicle

 Even though the minivan may be overlooked by today's SUV and crossover-minded consumers, the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid in Las Cruces NM is truly worth a second look if you're searching for a newer, "greener" family vehicle.

For the 2021 model year, Chrysler has updated the Pacifica across the board, including the Hybrid version, with exterior styling that offers a more SUV-like appearance than the departing model. It now boasts a sportier, more aggressive look thanks to a flatter front end with a bigger grille, and slimmer, sharper looking headlights with LED accents. The new LED rear lights extend from side to side with a light bar joining the two, and the liftgate and wheel designs have been modified.

The 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid in Las Cruces NM seats seven, and is available in four trim levels. It begins with the base level, called Touring, at an MSRP of $41,490 and moves up through Touring L, Limited, and the top-of-the-line Pinnacle, with an MSRP of $52,340. The Pacifica Hybrid's powertrain combines 9-speed automatic transmission paired with a 3.6-liter V-6, two electric motors, and a 16-kWh lithium-ion battery, which puts out 260 hp and reaches 60 mph in 7.8 seconds.  It can travel up to 33 miles on fully electric power and delivers a combined 84 miles per gallon equivalent and a projected total combined driving range of around 520 miles.

The perceptive hybrid arrangement automatically switches between gas and electric power depending on battery-charge level and driving conditions. And for your convenience, Chrysler has teamed up with Amazon Home Services to make installing an available Mopar Level 2 Charger at your home easier, thus enabling the Hybrid batter to charge fully in two hours.

2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid in Las Cruces NM: Cargo Space

Because the standard Stow 'n Go seats must fold up tightly enough to fit inside the floor bins, they have a bit less padding than seats in rival minivans. As a trade-out for no second row Stow 'n Go seats in the Hybrid model (the battery pack takes up the under-floor space in this area) the standard captain's chairs offer extra cushioning. There's 32.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row of seats. Fold down the third row, and you'll have 87.5 cubic feet of storage space. Passenger volume of the Pacifica Hybrid is the highest among the competition, with 165 cubic feet. Getting in and out of the rear seats is easy thanks to standard power-sliding rear doors and a low step-in height. The third row seats are easy to access and tall adults can ride comfortably. There are four sets of LATCH connectors for child car seats.
