2011 2012 Chrysler Pacifica review and photo
Check
MSRP
here.
The new 2011 2012 Chrysler Pacifica is here for Spring 2011 2012, introduced
by Chrysler to initiate a brand new automotive class it calls the "sports
tourer". An all-wheel drive model that seats six with a disappearing
third seat for carrying cargo is first to come off the production line.
It became more apparent, as the information arrived for our 2011 2012 Chrysler
Pacifica review, that Pacifica combined the passenger carrying ability
of a car with the cargo space of an SUV/minivan. The Pacifica has a
load leveling rear suspension, four-wheel antilock brakes, power adjusted
pedals with memory and is powered by a 250 horsepower (250 LB-ft of
torque) version of the Chrysler 300M 3.5 V6, connected to an AutoStick
four-speed automatic.
A long list of standard features begins our 2011 2012 Chrysler
Pacifica review, and we see that there has been no amenity
excluded:
- Second
row bucket seats with fore-aft, recline, and fold-flat capabilities
- 10-way
power driver's seat
- Leather-trimmed seats in first and second rows with seat-mounted armrests
- Heated
first and second row seats
- Full-length,
first and second row center console with storage and cup holders;
cell phone holder in first row
- Third
row: easy access to the 50/50 bench
- Six-passenger
seating in three rows (2+2+2)
- Second
and third row individual seats fold to create flat-load floor
A highly convenient feature is the roof line of the Pacifica, set so
you don't have to step up or climb into the vehicle. There will eventually
be a front-wheel drive version of the Chrysler Pacifica with traction
control, in addition to the all-wheel drive model. Aside from the motor,
Pacifica is fairly unique in that it shares very few common parts with
other Chrysler or Mercedes models. The interior of the Chrysler Pacifica
combines elegance and practicality, from the positioning of the navigation
system to the wood accents on doors and dashboard.
Ergonomics within the passenger area also show some forethought with easy to locate seat controls on the door,
rear controls for ventilation and audio functions, and a rear hatch moves up and down under power. The appearance of
the interior is conservative and understated. Passenger seats are easily entered and exited while the third seat folds flat
for excellent cargo storage.
Chrysler adds to the comfort level of its passengers by providing:
| Memory seats | Lumbar support |
| Adjustable
pedals |
Dual
cup holders |
| Storage area | Adjustable air outlets |
| Thigh support |
Heated
seats |
Three-row side curtain air bags deploy to provide full-side window
protection help keep passengers safe. Safety is an important facet of
automobile engineering that we include in our 2011 2012 Chrysler Pacifica
review. Handling and stability are addressed in the 2011 2012 Chrysler Pacifica
with a wide track, while steering and ride are adjusted to optimally
maintain sports car like cornering and handling. Seat belts, air bags
that deploy at various levels and sensors complete the Chrysler Pacifica
safety picture. New in the Pacifica, is the Chrysler inflatable knee
blocker which helps reduce lower leg injuries in a crash.
After reading and viewing our 2011 2012 Chrysler Pacifica review
and photo, we recognized that this is no ordinary vehicle.
The Pacifica is an effort to design a safe, sporty vehicle
that is luxurious yet practical. Looking our Chrysler Pacifica
photo, we can appreciate the fabulous styling and attention
to detail. Next step for anyone who is interested in a sporty
yet practical touring vehicle would be to test drive a new
2011 2012 Chrysler Pacifica to see if it is the new car of your
dreams. If you want to get an idea of what a 2011 2012
