The Pacifica minivan is offered in seven- and eight-passenger configurations, and its fold-into-the-floor second-row seats make it easy to carry big, bulky items.
The 3.6-liter V6, paired with a nine-speed automatic, provides plenty of power and gets 21 mpg overall.
The PHEV covers about 30 miles on electric power before transitioning to regular hybrid operation, during which it gets 27 mpg.
The nonhybrid has optional AWD.
Handling is responsive, with the van tackling corners in a responsive way.
The suspension delivers a comfortable, composed ride, and the cabin is quiet.
The Uconnect infotainment system remains one of the best available.
The regular Pacifica has average reliability and is recommended, but the PHEV is not because of below-average reliability.
