The Windsor-built Chrysler Pacifica minivan has won a couple of more awards.
The Pacifica has been named to the Car and Driver’s 10 Best Trucks and SUVs List. The 2019 Pacifica won the van category for the third consecutive year.
Car and Driver evaluates each contender against its peers using a 100-point scale, basing each score on how well it meets its intended purpose, how good a value it is and how compelling it is to operate.
“The Pacifica is the best minivan on sale today. Not only does it provide the most comfortable way to haul the tribe across town and country, it corners with surprising confidence thanks to its refined chassis," according to Car and Driver. "And when equipped with class-exclusive Chrysler’s Stow ‘n Go seating, it quickly converts from soccer team shuttle to bathroom remodelling supply hauler by allowing the second- and third-row seats to be folded into cubbies beneath the floor.”
The 2019 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid has also been named best electric vehicle in Canada by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada. The award comes after six months of voting and real-world testing by expert national automotive critics evaluating all vehicles available to Canadian buyers. The Pacifica Hybrid is the first electrified vehicle in the minivan segment and beat four rivals to win.
It is the most awarded minivan of the past two years and has over 110 awards since its debut.
“We’re very proud to receive this homegrown award for Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid from the expert members of AJAC,” said Reid Bigland, president and CEO of FCA Canada. “It is the third AJAC win in three years for our game-changing minivan and highlights the Hybrid’s exclusive combination of a cutting-edge, highly-efficient powertrain, advanced connectivity, safety, comfort and family-focused utility."
The Pacifica Hybrid is up again for Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year to be named February 14.
