Opting for a Pacifica Hybrid means being willing to spend more to treat your family the way they deserve to be treated. The 2024 Plug-In Hybrid Select trim level starts at $53,250, putting it well above the cheapest gas-only Touring trim at $39,090. It’s worth noting that the two are not directly comparable based on features, but value-conscious buyers may not want to pay the up-front costs of the PHEV. Though there are only technically two PHEV trim levels, the Select is available with an S Appearance Package for $55,725, a Road Tripper for $55,925, and a Premium S Appearance for $59,225.
Opting for the top PHEV trim, the Pinnacle, will bring the starting price to $61,960. That’s $6,280 more than the gas-only Pinnacle. However, the Pacifica is the only PHEV on sale that qualifies for a full tax credit of $7,500. For 2024, that credit is now done at the point-of-sale, essentially making the PHEV cheaper than its gas-only equivalent. In other words, it’s now a no-brainer.
A Toyota Sienna achieves better fuel economy at a lower price, but it lacks any usable electric range, and the drivetrain is louder. Both the Honda and Kia minivans don’t offer a hybrid powertrain, making the Chrysler Pacifica PHEV a unique offering in its segment. If you can charge at home and don’t mind potentially paying more, it’s a stellar way to tote your family in style.
