The all-electric Chrysler Pacifica is in the works
Chrysler is working on a fully electric version of the Chrysler Pacifica minivan, according to Green Car Reports. An EV version will reportedly “arrive” a year after the company released a design refresh of the Pacifica that features the Halcyon concept that Stellantis showed off earlier this year.
Currently, the Pacifica lineup includes a regular gas-powered minivan and a plug-in hybrid with an estimated 32-mile electric-only driving range before switching to electric. Chrysler CEO Christine Feuell, who confirmed plans to Green Car Reports during the LA Auto Show on Thursday, it won’t say whether the company will keep the plug-in hybrid alongside the all-electric model.
Chrysler will reportedly need to redesign the Pacifica’s “Stow ‘N Go” seating system, which allows owners to fold the seats to create a lower cargo area, to accommodate Stellantis’ BEV powertrain. Feuell told the outlet that one solution he is considering would involve storing the second-row seats under the front seats. Another idea reportedly involves placing the second-row outer seats on rails that allow them to slide sideways.
