The most award-winning minivan on the market continues to rack up more awards as PARENTS magazine has named the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica as one of its 2021 ‘Best Family Cars’ award winners.

• The Uconnect Theater rear-seat entertainment system with two 10.1-inch seatback touchscreens adds additional games, such as Concentration, chess, Simon Clone (late availability), and backgammon (late availability), to keep both adult and child passengers entertained. The new offerings join nine existing games, including Are We There Yet? and the License Plate Game, to provide the most built-in games in the industry, without the need of Wi-Fi or a subscription. 
• Delivering the largest standard touchscreen in its class, the 10.1-inch Uconnect touchscreen is nearly 20% larger than the screen it replaces and enables processing speeds up to 5x faster than the previous generation.
• New segment-first USB Type C ports charge devices up to 4x faster than standard USB outlets, keeping all family members connected while on the go.
• Class-exclusive Stow ‘n Go second-row in-floor storage bins allow for additional space for storing toys, schoolbooks, groceries, as well as storing the second-row seats to allow for a completely flat load floor.
• The seamless, fully automatic available all-wheel-drive (AWD) system is the only vehicle in the segment capable of transferring all available engine torque to the rear wheels, or whichever wheels have more available traction. 
• The available Stow ‘n Vac integrated vacuum powered by RIDGID provides easy access to all corners of the vehicle.
