Malibu Beach, CA – Silence. Is there anything so cherished, so rare and so craved by parents with multiple active kids? Didn’t think so. Which bodes well for the largely silent 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivan. The Pacifica Hybrid is quieter, more family-friendly and more efficient than any other minivan or gas-powered SUV on the market.

Somehow, some way, the Chrysler 300 full-size sedan manages to soldier forward with its classic silhouette and three-box styling. This is the car’s third generation (well, the new 300’s third generation, as the 300 nameplate itself goes all the way back to the 1950s and ‘60s), yet you’d be hard-pressed to really see what’s different from years

Vehicle Type Minivan The most popular minivans on the road, and the models that arguably formed the segment, are from Chrysler History / Description Few can argue with the overwhelming value of a minivan when it comes to affordably moving around families, their things and their pets. Sliding doors, plenty of space for the buck, and plen

“It’s been a while,” I thought, firing up the Chrysler 300S’s 5.7L HEMI V8 before a four-hour cruise back home to Sudbury, Ontario. You got heaps of horsepower and torque, forward thrust largely unmatched for the dollar, and Detroit-inspired exhaust noises that made chest hair sprout from anything within earshot. When Chrysler started stuff

Although minivans are gradually becoming an endangered species, the few remaining offerings in North America are the most resilient survivors, and this latest evolution from Chrysler quickly makes a case for best of breed.

They don't make them like they used to. Oh wait, yes they do. Don't tell the Yanks, but the last great American land yacht sets sail from Brampton, Ontario, wearing a Chrysler badge and looking a little bit like a Bentley Flying Spur. Sort of. If you squint. The 300C is not what you'd call a shy vehicle. It's enormous, it's chrome-laden, it's g

While crossover SUVs have become the cash-cow darlings for automotive manufacturers, the importance of a C-segment sedan cannot be ignored. Every carmaker worth its salt still has a solid offering in the mid-size sedan segment. These are cars that offer state-of-the-art safety, post impressive fuel efficiency figures and deliver performance that wo

We brought you the details of the 2017 Pacifica replacing the Town & Country in January , and now Chrysler has announced pricing and availability. The new Pacifica will start at $43,995, $1,200 less than the outgoing T&C. It will sell alongside the 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan , which will remain unchanged from the current model. The Paci

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) boss Sergio Marchionne says the Dodge Grand Caravan will likely go away, but will be replaced by another minivan. That's according to the folks at Allpar.com , who were listening in when a journalist at the North American International Auto Show asked Marchionne a direct question about the 2018 Dodge Grand Carava

Gas prices being what they are these days, it’s always a treat to come in “under budget” at the pumps. And that’s exactly what I did with the 2019 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid : after a week, I was down just a quarter-tank of fuel. It’s a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), which gives you a stretch of completely fuel-free driving after it’s been plugged in. It th

There’s really no vehicle better suited to hauling your brood than a minivan. If space is what you crave, you won’t find an SUV, crossover or wagon that will deliver the same level of passenger room and cavernous cargo capacity, period. Often maligned, and never cool, the minivan nevertheless spent decades at the forefront of dealing with the day-t

Chrysler has just introduced a pair of new trims to the Pacifica minivan that lower the entry price of the all-new van. The two trims joining the lineup will be the LX and Touring. They're new to Canada but have been available in the U.S. since it launched earlier this year. The new base model is the Pacifica LX. It has the same 3.6L V6 as the

I believe it is impossible to drive a minivan for a week and not be a convert. When we talk about practicality in other cars, whether they’re sedans, or hatchbacks, or three-row SUVs, we’re only ever talking about relative practicality. If you want the real thing, the whole enchilada, you can only get it one place: Minivan-land. Because electri

'Peak minivan' may be well behind us, but to paraphrase Ron Burgundy in Anchorman , Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' (FCA) presence in the segment its Chrysler Corporation predecessor created in the early 1980s is kind of a big deal. It was far from insignificant, then, that FCA kicked off the 2016 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) media pr

Chrysler invited us to Austin, Texas to test the third-gen 2015 Chrysler 300. The brand’s full-size sedan soldiers on with the distinctive three-box profile that’s helped make the model one of the bestselling domestic full-size sedans of the last few years. Styling is one area that Chrysler got right from the beginning, so they didn’t have to chang
