2027 Chrysler Pacifica

Chrysler has released official images of the facelifted 2027 Pacifica. The images reveal that the minivan has received a revised front end, which now features boomerang-shaped lights, as well as a two-piece grille design with a thinner upper section. The body panels around the bumper also receive interesting embossed details.

The Pacifica minivan is eleven years old this model year, a virtual antique in the car industry. It's now the brand's only remaining model. (The Chrysler Voyager minivan is a low-budget version of the same vehicle.) Ye olde Pacifica finally gets a refresh for 2027. Bold new styling up front marks a departure from the status quo, but the rest of the van's bodylines seem to remain untouched.

There's also a new logo in the center of the front grille. This is the first production Chrysler to sport the updated emblem design, which debuted on the Halycon concept a few years ago. Here, the logo is illuminated to create a full-width light bar design.

-Infotainment: A modernized cabin is expected with significantly larger screens and the updated Uconnect 5 system.

-Practicality: The patented Stow 'n Go system, which allows the second and third row seats to be folded into the floor, will continue to be the model's exclusive feature.

While we don’t have specific pricing details for the 2027 Pacifica yet, we think that it will continue with the same trim hierarchy. Last year's Select trim came with standard items such as a heated steering wheel, synthetic leather upholstery, heated front seats, second-row sunshades, and 17-inch wheels. If the new base model also comes with those features, we'll recommend it again. No word yet on whether any of these changes will transfer to the Voyager budget version.

We still don’t know if anything has changed under the hood, but with Stellantis recently axing its plug-in-hybrid models, we wouldn’t be surprised if the Pacifica continued on with only its trusty 287-hp 3.6-liter V-6. It might also make use of the 324-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four found in the new Jeep Grand Cherokee. Its interior is a mystery, too, but an extra-roomy eight-seat cabin equipped with Chrysler's patented Stow ‘n Go second- and third-row seats is all but guaranteed.

If you're looking for the fuel efficiency that a hybrid minivan can provide, we'd recommend either the Kia Carnival Hybrid or the hybrid-only Toyota Sienna.

There's still a lot that we don’t know about the 2027 Pacifica, but its updated front-end styling is an obvious departure from its previous look. New angular headlights connected by a width-spanning light bar extend vertically down the length of its fascia and bookend a redesigned grille. That's really all that we've seen of the new Pacifica so far, but we'll update this page with new powertrain, interior, and pricing details when they become available.

Confirmed news and design(below):

New Front: The model features a "RoboCop" front design, with inverted "L"-shaped headlights oriented vertically.

Lighting: A full-width light bar connects the headlights, and the new Chrysler logo (based on the Halcyon concept) is now illuminated in the center of the grille.

Body: Images suggest that the side profile and overall body shape remain the same, indicating a deep update of the current platform rather than a 100% new design.

Engine and Performance (below):

End of Plug-in Hybrid: In January 2026, Stellantis discontinued its traditional plug-in hybrid models in North America, meaning the Pacifica Hybrid (PHEV) version has come to an end.

V6 Engine: The 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine with 287 hp should continue as the main option, coupled with a 9-speed automatic transmission.

New turbo engine: There is speculation about the introduction of the Hurricane 2.0 Turbo four-cylinder engine (used in the Jeep Grand Cherokee), which delivers around 324 hp.
