'05 Chrysler Pacifica

With the 2005 Chrysler Pacifica, Chrysler promises a first class experience as soon as passengers and drivers open the doors – and with that they deliver, is fantastic according to many drivers and critics.

The '05 Pacifica has cabin room for six occupants in three rows of seats. In the first and second rows, it's luxury all the way - those seats are heated!

The seats in the second row are bucket seats, with fold and tumble capability as well as a full length console and armrests mounted right on the seats. The third row is comprised of a fifty/fifty folding bench that can seat 3 people.

Comfortable cloth upholstery is standard in the 2005 Chrysler Pacifica and leather upholstery is an available option. The new base Pacifica, however, seats five occupants and comes with a second row bench that features a sixty five/thirty five split.

With the '05 Pacifica Limited, owners get pedals which are power operated and memory adjustable.

'08 Chrysler Pacifica

The interior of the 2008 Chrysler Pacifica is quite reminiscent of the interiors featured in its predecessors, the 2008 has a sleek and swooping cover over the instrument panel, as well as a dashboard dotted with buttons.

The 2008 Pacifica LX has a roomy cabin that can seat up to five occupants, and the second row seating is comprised of a bench that can be folded down in a sixty five/thirty five split. Other models take it up to six occupants, thanks to a third row bench seat – in these models, the third row folds up into a fifty/fifty split.

With all seats stowed and folded, the five passenger 2008 Chrysler Pacifica models have almost ninety three cubic feet of space, while the six passenger models offer almost eighty cubic feet of space.

The 2008 Pacifica LX comes complete with one touch power windows, power seats, and a seven speaker stereo system with controls on the steering wheel.

'07 Chrysler Pacifica

Keeping with the success of the '06 model, the 2007 Chrysler Pacifica does not have a lot of outwardly obvious changes. The '07 Pacifica has redesigned hood strakes which seem inspired by the Chrysler Crossfire; also new are teardrop head lights and a more simplistic grille.

The 2007 Chrysler Pacifica is over two hundred inches long. On base models, the wheels are seventeen inch steel, the cladding is grey, and the door handles are black. Alloy wheels and door handles which match the car’s body are also available options with the Touring models.

The '07 Pacifica Limited model has cladding which matches the body color, fog lamps, and nineteen inch chrome rims. The last two of these are also available options on the Touring model, as are power sun roofs, rear view cameras, and power lift gates.

The five link independent rear suspension comes complete with automatic leveling, which is a feature that was inspired by the Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedans.

'06 Chrysler Pacifica

The 2006 Chrysler Pacifica is all about being stable and solid. The sleek body leans right into high speed curves, and the ride is completely smooth and full of ease. Test drivers have compared the 2006 Pacifica’s smooth ride with that of a minivan, because it's so smooth and there is few – if any – harsh driving moments.

The steering is incredibly accurate; it provides drivers with an excellent feel, not to mention an extraordinarily light touch, which makes the '06 Pacifica handle like a dream.

The Pacifica affords a quiet ride, devoid of road noise and driving static. The acceleration is strong and the comfortably cushioned seats are quite conducive to longer trips.

Under the hood, the 2006 Chrysler Pacifica features a two hundred and fifty horsepower, 3.5 liter V-6 engine, with two hundred and fifty pounds per feet of torque. It also has a four speed automatic transmission, which in turn features an Auto Stick that allows drivers to manually select gear changes.
