Mighty is not a word you hear often in the minivan segment—yet the 2026 Chrysler Pacifica wears it well. Its 3.6L Pentastar V6 delivers up to 287 horsepower through a smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic, giving you confident acceleration merging onto OH-16 or cruising across town. Available all-wheel drive adds traction and control in changing conditions by intelligently distributing torque to the wheels with the most grip. When life calls for towing, the available Trailer Tow Group unlocks a Best-in-Class maximum of up to 3,600 pounds, enough for a small boat, a pair of ATVs, or a lightweight utility trailer. With a 19-gallon fuel tank and highway efficiency up to 28 mpg, you can plan big days without planning frequent fuel stops. Electronic Stability Control and precise electric power steering help the Pacifica feel planted and predictable on city streets and winding country roads alike.
Inside, the 2026 Chrysler Pacifica is designed around real life. Available Stow ‘n Go Seating and Storage lets you fold the second- and third-row seats into the floor to open up a flat load space, or pop them back up in seconds when you need up to seven seats. The Uconnect 5 system brings a crisp, intuitive 10.1-inch touchscreen to the center of your dash, and supports multiple user profiles so each driver can save preferred settings, apps, and audio. With wireless Apple CarPlay support and Android Auto compatibility, your go-to navigation, playlists, and messages are only a tap or voice command away. Keep tabs on the second and third rows with the available FamCAM, which offers clear, split-screen views and automatic day/night mode. Add the available 19-speaker Harman Kardon Premium Audio and dual rear-seat 10-inch HD touchscreens with Amazon Fire TV Built-in, and you will have a rolling lounge that keeps the team entertained from Newark to Buckeye Lake and beyond. Available hands-free sliding doors and liftgate streamline loading when your hands are full, while the available dual-pane panoramic sunroof brightens the cabin to make every mile feel special.
With sensors, cameras, and smart processing working in the background, the 2026 Chrysler Pacifica helps you stay focused and in control. Standard systems like Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, and LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist are designed to assist in the moments that matter, while Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection add confidence when changing lanes or backing out of busy parking lots. Available ParkSense Front Park Assist and the available 360 Surround View Camera help with tight maneuvers around town, and a dedicated Rear Camera Washer helps keep the view clear in challenging conditions. From school drop-off zones to weekend highway trips, the Pacifica’s safety suite supports calm, confident driving.

Compared with other top minivans, the 2026 Chrysler Pacifica brings meaningful advantages that Newark, OH families will notice every day. The Honda Odyssey and Kia Carnival do not offer all-wheel drive—Pacifica does, giving you extra confidence on wet or loose surfaces. Toyota Sienna offers AWD, but it cannot match Pacifica’s Class-Exclusive available Stow ‘n Go Seating and Storage that lets both second- and third-row seats fold into the floor for a genuinely flat load space. When weekend plans include a small boat or a utility trailer, Pacifica’s Best-in-Class maximum towing up to 3,600 pounds leads key rivals that typically top out at 3,500. Inside, thoughtful touches like the available Stow ‘n Vac powered by RIDGID, available Amazon Fire TV Built-in for second-row screens, and available FamCAM put the Pacifica’s family-first focus on full display. For Newark drivers who split time between downtown errands, school activities near OSU Newark, and highway treks along OH-16, this blend of traction, flexibility, and tech-forward convenience makes the Pacifica uniquely well-suited.
