What to expect from the Pacifica

A tall roof and wide doors make it easy to load people and bags.

Try before you buy

Rent the Pacifica for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

Picking a year and a trim

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Compare the Touring L Plus with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.

Money matters

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $164.30 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
