Chrysler introduces the newest evolution of America's best-selling and most awarded minivan, the refreshed 2027 Chrysler Pacifica, at the New York International Auto show today, bringing new life to the segment it created in the biggest minivan market in the United States for the past decade.



"Chrysler invented the minivan 43 years ago, and with more than 16.6 million sold, including more than 1.15 million Pacifica models, our leadership in this segment remains unmatched," said Matt McAlear, Chrysler brand CEO. "This refreshed Pacifica builds on that momentum by delivering the perfect blend of new refreshed exterior design, new features, smarter technology with the beloved innovations our customers rely on. Together, they strengthen our position in the segment we created and open new opportunities for growth as we enter the next era of the Chrysler brand."

The 2027 Chrysler Pacifica lineup is available for order now at a starting U.S. MSRP of $41,495 for the LX trim, offering versatility and efficiency at an accessible starting price (all prices exclude tax, title, fees and $1,995 destination charge).

2027 Chrysler Pacifica Highlights

From a refreshed exterior design to smarter tech to the newly renamed LX trim, the 2027 Chrysler Pacifica lineup is loaded with family-friendly features and smarter tech, including:

• Chrysler Pacifica Select, Limited and Pinnacle trims receive a striking new front fascia, featuring vertical LED headlamps and an illuminated grille with a unique lit signature called "piano keys." The refreshed Pacifica also features a new Chrysler wing logo and rear liftgate applique, giving the minivan a commanding, modern stance
• New exterior paint colors, including Olive Green, and new wheel designs offer more personalization across the model lineup. The new Pacifica LX, formerly the Voyager, retains its familiar exterior design while offering a budget-friendly entry point, well-equipped with power-sliding doors and heated seats and steering wheel
• Inside, the seven- or eight-passenger Pacifica advances its premium craftsmanship. A new Chrysler wing badge in Satin Chrome finish is inset on the steering-wheel airbag cover, complemented by new interior accents that elevate the cabin ambiance across the lineup. The range-topping Pinnacle model debuts a standard model-exclusive Blue Agave interior color and new finishes throughout, including Copper Alloy accent bezels. The deco trim on the instrument panel is finished in new Dark Platinum paint, while the seats feature a new Parquet perforation pattern and Tungsten Patina non-metallic piping
• Pacifica continues to lead with innovation for the 2027 model year, introducing enhancements to the Safety Sphere Package, including turn signal-activated Blind-spot View and ParkSense-based camera activation, increasing driver visibility and situational awareness
• The refreshed 2027 model-year Pacifica also debuts a more flexible tech strategy with the decoupling of the Uconnect Theater Group and the newly named Family Tech Group, allowing families to choose the features that matter most to them, whether that's Amazon Fire TV built-in, FamCAM interior camera monitoring, premium audio, additional power outlets, or second- and third-row features
• Standard on all trims, the new adjustable-height power liftgate was designed with real-world parking scenarios in mind. This feature allows customers to easily set how high the liftgate opens to avoid low-clearance obstacles, such as home garage ceilings, carports or parking decks, while ensuring smooth, worry-free access to the cargo area
• A hallmark of Chrysler innovation, the Pacifica continues to stand alone in the segment with its exclusive Stow 'n Go system, delivering unmatched convenience and versatility for busy families. Unlike any other minivan, Pacifica's second- and third-row seats fold easily into the floor, creating a flat load space in seconds, perfect for road trips, gear-heavy weekends or everyday utility

A Vision for the Next Century

The exterior redesign of the 2027 Chrysler Pacifica brings a technical, modern character to the forefront. This transformation touches virtually every surface of the front fascia, creating a crafted, sculpted presence that changes the perception of the brand and serves as a road map for the look and feel of future Chrysler products.



The centerpiece of this redesign is the new, illuminated version of the iconic Chrysler wing badge. 



This logo serves as the focal point for a cross-car LED lighting signature. On Limited and Pinnacle trims, the Pacifica "wakes up" with a welcome animation: the center lamp, signature lights and Chrysler badge illuminate first, followed by the "piano keys" at each corner. A coordinated animation marks the end of the drive.



Key exterior highlights include:

• Sculptural "piano key" accents: These details frame the grille and draw the eye to the precision of the new lighting signature
• Integrated lighting: Forward lighting is tucked discreetly in the lower fascia, drawing more attention to the illuminated grille signature. New projector headlamps provide a 17% improvement in maximum reach compared to previous generations
• Dynamic rear profile: A redesigned rear lightbar applique and updated wing badge create a cohesive signature. The popular S Appearance Package offers a blacked-out version for a more aggressive stance
• Updated wheel lineup: Eight distinct wheel designs are available, including new 18- and 20-inch designs for Limited and Pinnacle in Foreshadow and Machined finishes
• Nature-inspired color palette: The 2027 model debuts Olive Green, a rich, organic hue. Additional colors, Ember, Glass Gray and Steel Blue, will be late-availability options

The Pinnacle of Premium

The 2027 Chrysler Pacifica debuts a new Blue Agave Nappa leather interior, exclusive on the Pinnacle model. This deeply saturated, rich color provides a contemporary alternative to traditional tans and blacks, creating a high-fashion atmosphere within a family vehicle.



The seats feature an all-new Parquet perforation pattern, adding a distinctive texture and a sense of bespoke craftsmanship. Exclusive Sol Stopper copper accent stitching carries across the seats, instrument panel, doors and armrests, while Tungsten Patina non-metallic piping frames the seating surfaces.



Pinnacle interior features include:

• Ultra Console: In Pinnacle models, this console seamlessly blends into the instrument panel, offering dual-level storage with a large pass-through underneath for handbags or tablet devices
• Enhanced rear-cabin comfort: Pinnacle adds premium third-row sunshades, upgraded floor mats and additional soft-touch materials throughout the cabin to elevate every passenger's experience
• Premium lighting and ambiance: Subtle ambient lighting and upgraded trim illumination enhance cabin warmth and visibility, reinforcing Pinnacle's upscale, lounge-like atmosphere
• Copper Alloy accents: New metallic touches highlight the HVAC bezels and door elements, replacing traditional chrome with a richer, warmer sense of depth

Stow 'n Go Seating and Storage System: Delivering Decades of Innovation

For more than 20 years, the Stow 'n Go seating and storage system has remained one of Chrysler's most defining innovations, an industry-first solution that reshaped family mobility when it debuted for the 2005 model year. Since then, more than 5 million minivans have been sold with the system, and Chrysler minivans remain the only vehicles in the segment to offer second- and third-row seats that fold flat into the floor.



For the 2027 Pacifica, Stow 'n Go continues to set the benchmark for versatility, enabling the second- and third-row seats to disappear into the floor in seconds and creating a flat load surface with more than 140 cubic feet of cargo space. When seats are deployed, the under-floor bins provide additional, easily accessible storage, ideal for weekend gear, groceries, sports equipment or road trip essentials.



The 2027 Pacifica also preserves another important class exclusive: it is the only minivan to offer available all-wheel drive with second- and third-row Stow 'n Go seating. This unique combination is offered on the Select and Limited trims, giving families capability and versatility in all weather conditions without sacrificing the interior flexibility they rely on. At the top end, Pinnacle models feature standard third-row Stow 'n Go seating with removable second-row seats, a layout that accommodates the Pinnacle trim's larger integrated Ultra Console and premium, plush captain's chairs.



Wing Badge Reimagined

Following Chrysler's 100th anniversary in 2025, the brand enters its next century with a new interpretation of the wing badge, which debuts on the 2027 Pacifica. First previewed on the Chrysler Airflow concept in 2022 and refined on the Halcyon concept in 2024, the new logo features a cleaner, more digital aesthetic, along with a modernized "Chrysler" wordmark developed in-house. Prominently displayed on the front and rear of the vehicle, and subtly integrated throughout as design "Easter eggs," the latest wing badge represents a contemporary expression of Chrysler's legacy, blending a century of heritage with a forward-looking vision of the future.



Chrysler's visual identity has evolved alongside the brand itself, beginning with the original ribbon seal emblem introduced in 1924, designed to resemble a prestigious award and symbolize quality and engineering excellence. Early Chrysler vehicles also featured the iconic winged radiator cap, inspired by the Roman god Mercury and representing speed and freedom. These motifs would become recurring themes in the brand's design language. Through the 1930s and 1940s, Chrysler experimented with streamlined wings, shield emblems and script nameplates, reflecting the era's focus on aerodynamics and forward motion, while reinforcing a sense of prestige and innovation.



In the 1950s and 1960s, Chrysler's identity shifted toward bold, modernist expressions. The introduction of the Forward Look design language brought clean, directional forms and futuristic symbolism, followed by the adoption of the Pentastar in 1962, a corporate-wide emblem designed for global recognition and simplicity. While the Pentastar became synonymous with the company for decades, the Chrysler brand itself continued to evolve its own identity, revisiting earlier motifs like wings and seals to maintain a connection to its heritage.



By the mid-1990s, Chrysler reintroduced the ribbon seal, later pairing it with extended wings across the front and rear of vehicles, blending heritage with a more contemporary aesthetic. This evolved further in the 2010s with the introduction of the modern Chrysler wing badge, featuring a clean, horizontal layout with a central brand name, signaling a renewed focus on elegance, precision and simplicity. This era marked a return to the winged identity as the brand's primary visual signature.



Advanced Engineering: A Solid Foundation

Beneath the stylish exterior, the 2027 Pacifica is built on a world-class platform engineered for a quiet and isolated interior environment. To achieve this, Chrysler engineers used a strategic mix of high-strength steel, aluminum and magnesium to create a body structure that is both light and stiff.



The use of high-strength steel ensures a rigid foundation that absorbs road inputs before they reach the cabin, while aluminum components in the hood and doors reduce overall mass to improve fuel efficiency and handling. Magnesium is strategically employed in the structures for the instrument panel and liftgate to provide high strength without the weight of traditional metals.



The ride quality is further refined by a four-wheel independent suspension system. This setup allows each wheel to react independently to road imperfections, reducing cabin toss and providing an agile, car-like handling experience. For AWD models, the suspension is specially tuned with a rear sway bar and increased ground clearance, ensuring the Pacifica remains composed even on rougher terrain or in heavy snow.



Sanctuary of Silence

Achieving a first-class experience meant preserving the exceptionally quiet cabin that has become a hallmark of the Pacifica. Chrysler engineers focused on maintaining low noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) levels through a multi-layered approach:

• Active Noise Cancellation (ANC): Standard across the entire lineup, ANC uses the vehicle's audio system to neutralize low-frequency cabin noise by emitting "anti-noise" waves
• Acoustic glass: The windshield and front-side windows use laminated acoustic glass to significantly reduce wind and ambient traffic noise
• Aerodynamic sculpting: Extensive wind-tunnel testing resulted in a class-leading aerodynamic profile that minimizes wind turbulence at highway speeds
• Triple door seals: Comprehensive sealing around all door openings ensures that road noise stays outside, creating an environment where passengers in the third row can easily converse with those in the first

Capability Without Compromise

The heart of the Pacifica remains the award-winning 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine, paired with a segment-exclusive TorqueFlite nine-speed automatic transmission. Delivering 287 horsepower and 262 lb.-ft. of torque, this powertrain provides smooth, confident acceleration for highway merging and passing.



Pacifica's intelligent AWD system is engineered to optimize traction, capable of sending 100% of available engine torque to the rear wheels or to the wheels with the most grip. Crucially, the system can also completely disconnect the power-transfer unit and rear drive module when AWD is not needed, reducing drag and improving fuel efficiency.



For adventure-minded families, the available Trailer Tow Group offers a best-in-class 3,600-lb. towing capacity, making it easy to haul small campers, jet skis or other recreational gear, with trailer-sway damping and a heavy-duty radiator providing added confidence.



Smarter Technology for Modern Families

For 2027, the former Uconnect Theater Group is decoupled into the Family Tech Group and the Theater Group, giving families the ability to select the features they value most without paying for content they don't need. The Family Tech Group focuses on everyday convenience and cabin functionality, bundling the following features:

• Upgraded audio system
• Uconnect 5 NAV with a 10.1-inch display
• Eight-way power front passenger seat
• Additional power outlets and USB ports

Additionally, the Family Tech Group includes the FamCAM interior camera, which provides a high-definition split-screen view of rear-seat passengers, including a zoom-to-seat function that even allows parents to see a rear-facing child seat.



The Theater Group, meanwhile, is dedicated to rear-seat entertainment and includes streaming capability with built-in Amazon Fire TV, a multi-channel remote, seatback video screens and integrated media inputs for a full in-cabin entertainment experience.



2027 Chrysler Pacifica Offers the Most Safety and Security Features in Its Class

Safety remains the top priority, and the 2027 Pacifica continues Chrysler's leadership by offering the most standard safety and security features in its class. For 2027, those protections are further strengthened with the latest generation of the Safety Sphere Package – optional on Select and Limited and standard on Pinnacle – which adds new technologies designed to boost driver awareness and confidence in everyday scenarios:

• Turn Signal-activated Blind-spot View: Displays a live camera feed on the center touchscreen when the turn signal is engaged, giving the driver a clear view of the adjacent lane and reducing the risk of unseen vehicles
• ParkSense-based Camera Activation: Automatically triggers the appropriate camera view when ParkSense sensors detect an object, helping the driver instantly identify hazards during low-speed maneuvers

These upgrades join a comprehensive suite of carryover systems, including 360-degree surround view camera and front/rear park assist with stop, to further reinforce Chrysler's commitment to confidence and security in every drive.



Standard on all trims, the new-for-2027 adjustable-height power liftgate was designed with real-world parking scenarios in mind. This feature allows customers to easily set how high the liftgate opens to avoid low-clearance obstacles, such as home garage ceilings, carports or parking decks, while ensuring smooth, worry-free access to the cargo area.



New Social Media Campaign Lets Everyone Be "PacifiKids, Too"

Chrysler is also reigniting one of its most beloved fan-focused ideas with the launch of "PacifiKids, Too," a fresh, 2.0 evolution of the breakthrough 2016 PacifiKids campaign. Built for today's social media landscape, where creators, families and fans drive the conversation, "PacifiKids, Too" invites everyone to become part of the Pacifica story.



This modern reboot taps into a decade of cultural shift, transforming what was once a playful kid-driven ad campaign into a full-fledged, community-powered movement where anyone and everyone can be a "PacifiKid."



Through creator-led content, family-first storytelling and open social media participation, Chrysler is celebrating the enthusiasm of the Pacifica community and empowering owners, kids and fans everywhere to share their favorite features and to show and tell how the Pacifica continues to make everyday life smarter, easier and more fun.



"When we launched the PacifiKids campaign in 2016, friends, family, employees, dealers and customers all told me their kids wanted to be PacifiKids, too," McAlear said. "Now, thanks to social media, they can, and we can't wait to hear their stories. We want to see how they use their Pacifica, which features they love, and how their Chrysler minivan supports their everyday adventures and their big family road trips."



PacifiKids can tag @Chrysler to submit their videos.



New Logo, New Gear

To coincide with the Pacifica reveal, Chrysler launches a refreshed merchandise collection today featuring the new wing logo. Offering a curated set of clothing and accessories, the updated Chrysler merchandise website showcases the brand's new identity, giving fans a first look at the modern logo across stylish products.
