Horsepower to Keep Up With Life Your family's life is often on the go, and you need a vehicle that keeps up.

This powerhouse delivers 287 horses and 262 pound-feet of torque for an impressive best-in-class towing capability of 3,600 pounds, while still earning 28 mpg highway. Safety First There's nothing more important than your family's safety on the open road. Opt for the available Advanced SafetyTec suite of driver-assistance features, including forward-collision and lane-departure warnings, brake and lane-keep assist, parallel parking assistant, adaptive cruise control, a surround-view camera system, and automatic headlamps. Equipped with this advanced safety technology, it's easy to see why the Chrysler Pacifica was named an IIHS Top Safety Pick for 2019.
