Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лип 2024
- Pacifica Hybrid is still the first and only plug-in hybrid minivan and achieves more than 80 MPGe, has an all-electric range of more than 30 miles and a total range of more than 500 miles:
Pacifica Hybrid owners may be eligible for a one-time federal tax credit of $7,500, as well as potential state and local tax credits
Designed to offer a seamless driving experience with no range anxiety, whether in electric or hybrid mode for city and highway driving, there is no need for the driver to select modes
Equipped with a regenerative braking system, the Pacifica Hybrid captures kinetic energy used to stop the brakes and sends the energy to charge the vehicle’s battery, even after the initial charge is consumed
Pacifica Hybrid’s Uconnect 5 system allows the ability to adjust the battery charging schedule to run during less expensive off-peak hours
It takes 13 kWh to fully charge the Pacifica Hybrid battery, using the national average electricity rate of $0.14/kWh (and keeping in mind household electricity rates differ based on various factors), it costs approximately $1.82 to fully charge the battery using a home charger
Pacifica Hybrid can offer savings of around $2,250 in fuel costs over five years compared with the average new vehicle, and an estimated $41 per month compared with its closest competitor
Pacifica Hybrid emits only 119 grams per mile of tailpipe-only CO2 emissions, with a ranking of 10 (10 is the best) on the EPA’s greenhouse gas rating scale

This 22' Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is amazing.
Brilliant job with your videos as always Mike.
The best minivan since Chrysler created this class of car
I have a touring in same color. Took a 1650 mile trip with charged only at beginning. With regenerative braking and driving in maximum charging mode in mountains through Colorado and Utah, I got 200 miles on battery.
I really like that little yellow hand, is non intrusive and clearly points out what you're highlighting in your comments. Great idea! 🎉
Got one. Getting over 1,500 miles per tank plugged in every night and sometimes multiple times on the weekends. Just paid $28 to fill it up and with electric costs it came out to $100 for that 1,500 miles. Compared to our Volvo XC90 that was on premium and only getting 19mpg on average, it would have cost us $280+ easily for those same miles.
So it’s safe to say you like your hybrid? Does it drive smoothly. I’ve been thinking of taking the plunge on a hybrid soon

make sure to rotate your gas tank fuel every 3 month or the repair fee might not be worth the gas savings
Was thinking of exchanging my Ford explorer for one. Have you had any issues since this post?
Have a 2021 phev Pinnacle trim -- loving it!
No problems. Great on the road. Getting 38 - 42 miles per charge in stop-n-go city traffic.
Surprised his ICE so loud -- wonder if it's the S trim..... can't hear or feel when engine kicks in on mine.
Hi, may I know where you live? I live in US, I am hearing terrible transmission issues with this vehicle. How is your experience with this vehicle so far?
You are the best reviewer on youtube! THANK YOU!
I think this car is a very amazing family car, I have never have one of these but personally I think this car is amazing
This was the in depth review I needed! ❤ I’m getting my momvan really soon 😊
Awesome review Mike! I always thought this car had potential if they would just give it all wheel drive. You really covered everything!
You really don't need awd. I live in Canada, and I've had 4wd, awd, and 2wd vehicles. I would take 2wd + snow tires over 4wd/awd with all seasons any day of the week. Especially considering what the minivan is for, and the ground clearance, awd doesn't really make sense.
@56:04 Is there a reason why they got rid of the blue ray disc insert here? I heard there were some software issues in early 2022 that made it not work well for some customers, but for them to completely get rid of the disc insert instead of just fixing the software seems like a rip off.
Same question here!
I Totally Love The Color We Are Thinking about Getting One I Totally Love It It's Roomier Spacious So Does it Got a Sunroof And a Remote Start
Chrysler needs to add a digital rear view mirror so driver can see through the rows of passenger. It should be standard in this price point and for this segment.
I totally love it Roomier
Someday, I will buy this hybrid minivan used.
This is what the world needs. Straight hybrids make an immediate impact on the well being of the planet since their batteries are soo small yet they get much better MPG than the ICE version. I don't get why everyone is diving head first into BEV's, but I will blame Tesla for that push.
What is the B in BEV?
@@2004cyrus Battery
This is the main reasoning for Toyotas focus on hybrids using NiMh. But as a family with a hybrid (Sienna), PHEV (Rav4 prime) and an EV(Ioniq). Everything has its advantages/disadvantages. IMO the PHEV is the one that will go first for our needs. It would be best for someone with a single car.
Sienna does family road trip duty, no worries about charging and no EV currently has the size. PHEV (you get the partial benefits of EV but all the ICE maintenance with the short range but option to go anywhere). EV’s the perfect commuter vehicle. Cheap to run, silent, fast, much less maintenance, one pedal driving is great in traffic
@@TobyCostaRica thank you
@@TobyCostaRica Toyota's hybrids incorporate the best of both worlds. A Toyota Sienna with the 2.5 engine and hybrid gets great gas mileage, adequate acceleration and it's very reliable.. You can't get all that with other brands. Honda would be second in line. Most other hybrids and electric vehicles are plagued with reliability and electrical issues.. I would not trust them. Chrysler is always been a terrible brand played with reliability issues and the same thing is going on now and worse..
I can't wait to drive one of them I can't wait to own one
Great job Mike watching you from Iraq .
Anyone? Does the charge port lock the charger connector or its free to pull out.
Love the color red ♥️♥️
I liked the way you do quite a comprehensive review. I went through all your videos thinking that I'd find an update a year later on whether the Pacifica had been trouble free or your newest feelings about it. I was disappointed to sorta deduce you don't actually own or keep any of the numerous vehicles you test review. I thought for sure you had purchased that hybrid for you and your family for at least a few years.
So...any chance you could still maybe share some feedback through hearing from your sources?
Of course I'd like to hear from any other owners who bought one too.
❤ I I love this beautiful I love this vehicle I can't wait to get one extremely Spacious looks totally comfortable
There's a very good warranty on the car however I strongly recommend if you put a lot of miles on the car to look into the Mopar unlimited 7 year warranty. It literally covers everything regardless of the amount of miles you've been on it for 7 years. If you get the hybrid model, The battery is covered for a 150000 miles, And the moper unlimited word he would cover everything else and I mean everything.
Hi John. Do you know about how much it costs for the 7 year warranty?
did not expect this video to be over an hour long
That’s how you know this car fully loaded
@@hattag3399 yea i know
Does anyone has experience with the latest safety recall for engine stalling on highway?
I got a new hybrid version 2 months back and worried about the reliability after spending 55K a huge money.
Yup don’t buy Chrysler , dodge shitty cars 😂😂😂. Always buy Toyota . If you can afford, go for German cars.
Now own for almost 40 days . Happy . Hybrid info is too mumbled and not accurate. Just look at total run and how much of it was gas and how much electric, rest of the details is unpredictable. Ride is smooth . Audio is great interiors are done well .hope to get entire tax xredit for savings to kick in immediately
I ❤ This Car Does it Got a Remote Start And Keyless Entry
What happened to the active noise canceling you for got??!!
I have this vehicle on order (white with the S appearance and theatre package) and should get it in the next month or so but the dealer couldn't answer this question, does this trim have the vacuum?
No Vacuum.
No vacuum or stow and go feature with hybrid models.
I got my vehicle and it also didn't come with the Blu Ray player with the theatre group. Should have a '21 model.
Great review~ how long will the hybrid mode with a full charge? Is it 100 miles? I think you mentioned that.
1:03:40 About 38 miles on just battery.
@@MikesCarInfo Thank you, but I'm not asking about full EV mode. If you have it in hybrid mode with the gas engine joining in, how long does the battery last~ how many miles. Thanks again~
@jmsmikey This vehicle uses its battery charge first, and once the battery is down to zero, then switches to gas.
Love my 2021 Pacifica Pinnacle Hybrid. We use hardly any gas, until we go on long road trips.
Hi, may I know where you live, US or Canada? I live in US, I see so many are complaining about transmission issues. So many vehicles have already been recalled. How is your experience so far with Pacifica Hybrid?
@@sharathpaka4198 no issues. 38k miles so far. The hybrid model doesn’t really have a transmission. Just motors and a gear case.
@@MrKillerRCdoes the engine charge the battery with an alternator?
@@tykeorama9898 a generator
I Think It's Satin
Great review, but your blanket statement on ALL plug in hybrid vehicles being useless unless plugged in is in error. Most I've seen will charge with regen brakes, regen from the motor, and hold charge when you want to save your charge for in town driving. Beware the blanket statements.
I didn't say the vehicle is useless.
It is useless to buy a plug-in hybrid if you are not going to "use" the plug-in feature. If one does not want to plug in their vehicle there are better options available then a plug-in hybrid... A regular hybrid for example.
I’m about 75% yes on the wheels. There are definitely worse, like bright chrome, and there are better. This don’t offend me. I applaud Chrysler for blacking out the tacky plastic-chrome that they used to be famous for. This would be the look I would go for. Except I shouldn’t say Chrysler. It’s Stellantis now I believe. Maybe not on the signs at the dealerships but behind the scenes at corporate.
Me gusta minivan para xavier
😁👍🏼
Why why why can't this have 8 passenger? I would trade in my 2017 Chrysler Pacifica touring L+ for this hybrid!
Probably weight reasons. 8 adults plus a 400 pound battery pack is probably more weight than what the chassis and brakes can safely handle.
it calculates MPGE which allocates an amount to electricity as if its is a gas equivalent, it makes sense because electricity is not free
Evidently there's a hell of a lot of soccer moms out there. Damn near two thousand views in just one day.
Even if you don't plug it in you get the fuel economy benefits of it being hybrid.
Yes a little. The benefit is mitigated by lugging around a relatively unused (heavy) battery that will fail prematurely if not charged regularly.
@@MikesCarInfo that's not how lithium ion batteries work. It's getting charged every time you drive. Doesn't need to be full. In fact, it's better for the battery, long-term, if you only charge between 20-80%.
You might think 0% on the gauge cluster means the battery is at 0% capacity. That's not the case. Car makers dumb it down for the consumer. 0% on the gauge means "oh, the battery is too low to use, but don't worry, it still has about 10-20% left because we know about prolonging battery life".
@@mtbrdude No this vehicle does not charge the battery when you drive like some other plug-in hybrids. Zero electric range forever unless plugged in to charge.
Ideal battery charge is roughly 40-60% and it will never get to that level without plugging it in.
@@MikesCarInfo So Mike, if the battery is charged around 40 to 60%, does it recharge when we apply brakes? If not, how exactly you get 82 MPGe?
@@sharathpaka4198 It can recoup some energy when braking but not enough to charge the battery. MPGe rating is based on charging the vehicle regularly by plugging it in. See window sticker at 1:18:23 without plugging it is it gets 30mpg.
The engine doesn't charge the battery?!?!?!?
No. It will stay at 0% until you plug it in again.
@@MikesCarInfo wow, that seems like a waste of opportunity for absolute efficiency
Idk what's the trend going on with these 'blacked out" BS. That flat black just looking like it's a cheaper trim or chrome fell off. Naked plastic color doesn't make it luxury...
Junk it its a Chrysler they have never been reliable
I can't believe people would actually still buy these vehicles.. They are some of the worst vehicles ever made and their reliability rating is still terrible.. You would be better off to lease it and turn it in. It doesn't make sense buying a poorly constructed electrical nightmare in this day and time..SMH😩
What bad experiences have you had with the car?
@@Miller9016 Everything major with domestic brands.. Starting with oil leaks during the first oil change.. Transmissions went out between 20 and 40,000 miles. Electrical shorts. Check engine lights.. Engine misfires. EVERYTHING WEARS OUT PREMATURELY.
Doesn't sound good. That means you had one and all of these bad experiences yourself? Or just from hearing about it?
@@charlesjackson1700 I bought mine 2 weeks ago, what do you want to do with it?
@@Miller9016 I also heard these after I bought mine 2 weeks ago. Do you buy this vehicle? How is it so far?
