Marvel at the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica AWD with Cochrane Dodge Jeep RAM in Cochrane, Alberta

If the new Chrysler Pacifica proves anything, it's that a minivan can offer just as riveting a drive as an SUV. Thanks to its available all-wheel drive (AWD) system, this all-new minivan boasts performance and versatility never before seen in its category, and we're thrilled to feature it in our showroom at Cochrane Dodge Jeep RAM. Those based in Cochrane, Alberta or the nearby areas of Calgary, Crowfoot, and Airdrie can contact us today for a closer look at the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica AWD detailed below.

Performance Unlike Any in its Class

A minivan it may be, but the 2021 Pacifica AWD can hold its own against many a three-row SUV as far as drive and performance are concerned. Out with the tame hardware of old, in with the new year's formidable powertrains. Indeed, the new Chrysler Pacifica AWD's 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 engine packs a lot of pep in 287 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. This robust motor yields a towing capacity of up to 3,600 pounds for those who enjoy embarking on family adventures, with the Pacifica's 9-speed automatic transmission providing the smoothest of shifts on the open road. Between these components and its newly available all-wheel drive system, the Pacifica offers a drive unlike any minivan that's come before it and braves even the harshest of conditions with enhanced traction year-round.

As for its gas mileage, not only does the new Chrysler boast a highway fuel economy of 8.4 L/100km - plenty respectable for a vehicle of its build - its standard Engine Stop/Start technology enhances its efficiency by shutting the engine off at full stops, then starting it up again once the brake pedal is released.

But What About the Rest of the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica AWD?

Rest assured, there's far more to love about the latest Chrysler Pacifica than its all-wheel drive option. While Chrysler's best and brightest have blessed this new minivan with SUV-esque capability, the 2021 Pacifica still boasts all the amenities motorists have come to demand of a first-rate minivan. On the outside, the Pacifica AWD's formidable, yet elegant frame makes it quite the on-road presence. In addition to its modern, reimagined design, the new Chrysler minivan offers its drivers plenty of choices for a personalized aesthetic, with available aluminum wheel options ranging from 17 to 20 inches and a palette comprising 10 unique body colours.

Minivans are often defined by their practicality, and the new Chrysler Pacifica AWD is no exception. Available hands-free sliding doors and power liftgate make easy work of all your storage needs, the former with a mere push of a button, the latter with your key fob or a swipe of your foot by the minivan's rear sensors. There's even more to like inside the 2021 Pacifica, as its ergonomic cabin's three rows can be configured in a variety of seating arrangements and comfortably accommodate up to eight passengers.

As far as its tech and connectivity features go, the new Chrysler minivan has everything you'll need to keep the family entertained, no matter the journey. A largest-in-class 10.1-inch touchscreen houses Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration as well as an available FamCam interior camera that allows you to keep an eye on your loved ones without taking your attention off the road ahead. The 2021 Pacifica also boasts Chrysler's patented Uconnect system, which includes Bluetooth audio streaming, hands-free phone communication, and available Uconnect Theatre that regales the kids with a variety of apps and games.

Chrysler has also taken great care in keeping you and the family safe by equipping the 2021 Pacifica AWD with a bevy of driver-assist features. Available Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking helps minimize the potential for collisions, while Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist is a lifesaver for those who aren't used to nestling a minivan into tighter spaces.
