Pacifica so luxurious ‘you might forget it’s a minivan’
Parents’ panel of esteemed experts note that the Pacifica earns its spot as the most luxurious minivan thanks in no small part to its upper-echelon Pinnacle. In her write-up of The Best Family Cars of 2022, Scotty Reiss says that the interior of the Pacifica Pinnacle is of such a high level of quality that “you might forget it’s a minivan.”

There’s good reason that Chrysler claims the title of most luxurious interior in its class for the Pacifica Pinnacle. It offers up gorgeous caramel-colored seating trimmed in quilted Nappa leather, Berber carpet, and a suede headliner in addition to bolster pillows for the second-row seats. Yes, it comes with pillows.
But for all the luxurious fixings that Chrysler offers, the Pacifica is still a minivan at heart, and that means it’s incredibly functional and family-friendly. The Pacifica Pinnacle gets an Ultra Console with built-in wireless charging and a USB-C port, and options like Stow ‘n Go with available in-floor bins ensure there are a ton of storage options to go around.
Reiss also points out advantages the Chrysler Pacifica has over its competition, including its class-exclusive plug-in hybrid powertrain option and a sunroof that spans all three rows. There’s plenty more that’s unmentioned, like the FamCAM, rear-seat entertainment with Amazon Fire TV built-in, and standard active noise cancellation, all of which make the 2022 Chrysler Pacifica a sure thing for Parents Best Luxury Minivan.
