Buying the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Limited

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Limited; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Limited, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

A buyer's checks

Owners filed 401 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and power train; have those parts checked. There are 8 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

Engine and fuel

The engine is the 3.6L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 9-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

The EPA rates it at 10.6 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 32 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $164.30. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Room inside

Being a minivan, it carries people and their bags without fuss. At 5.19 m from bumper to bumper, it is on the long side. Check the size of a tight parking spot.

Who it is for

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Try before you buy

Rent the Pacifica for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

Money matters

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.43 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $164.30 at our price setting.

Which one to look for

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
