CarBuzz Managing Editor Roger Biermann said, “The 2019 Pacifica had already impressed as a runner-up in last year’s CarBuzz Awards, but meaningful updates for the 2020 and 2021 model years, including the addition of all-wheel drive (AWD), the ultra-luxurious Pinnacle model and refreshed styling, made the Pacifica impossible to ignore this time around.”
The redesigned 2021 Pacifica has a more modern design and several new family-friendly technologies, which helped it earn the award. Its new Uconnect 5 System comes with a 10.1-inch touch screen that’s largest in its class. Plus, the system has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration along with Amazon Alexa capabilities.

Its available Uconnect Theater system includes dual 10-inch HD touch screens, dual HDMI inputs, wireless streaming, wireless headphones, and a Blu-ray player. The system has 13 built-in games, which is the most in its class.
Segment-first USB Type C ports are located throughout the Pacifica. These ports charge personal devices four times faster than regular outlets. In addition, the new available FamCAM Interior Camera shows a best-in-class HD picture of the rear rows so you can more easily keep an eye on passengers.
The higher-end Pacifica Pinnacle adds new lumbar comfort pillows to the second row and premium quilted Nappa Caramel leather seats. It also features a new Ultra Console with a wireless smartphone charger for more convenience.
