Chrysler Pacifica (minivan)

Plug-in hybrid, used, with care The Pacifica Hybrid is the only plug-in hybrid minivan, so the school drop-off and back can happen on electricity alone, with about 32 miles of electric range before the V6 takes over. Chrysler discontinued it in 2026, which makes it a used purchase now, and it has to come with homework. Its battery has a long recall history. In 2024 owners of 2017 to 2021 vans were told to park outside and away from buildings after an earlier software fix proved ineffective against a fire risk, and a 2026 recall of 17,277 vans from 2020 to 2022 asked owners to stop charging until the repair is done. Run the VIN through the federal recall lookup before you buy, and walk away from any van with open battery work.
