Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid
It’s entirely legitimate to criticize the inclusion of this American minivan on our list. But of course it depends on how widely you define “utility”. What is more useful, after all, than a minivan, if you can overlook the absence of all-wheel drive in this case? The American manufacturer has not reinvented the wheel with this melding of a Pentastar V6 engine with hybrid technology. But for larger families moving around the city or suburbs on a daily basis, hybrid is a smart option.
