The 10 Standout Cars of 2016 Page 7 of 10

Chrysler Pacifica
Ignoring the many voices that have for years been predicting the impending demise of the minivan, Chrysler had the audacity to develop an all-new luxury minivan, and offer it in a hybrid version to boot. The company that invented this vehicle category used its extensive experience to offer a vehicle whose parts form a highly coherent whole, in which elegance is on proud display, and featuring a cabin that is truly remarkable for its versatility.

Chrysler’s engineers also put much focus and toil into sound reduction, noise generally being considered a weak point of minivans due to the echo-chamber effect they often suffer from. Improvements were also made in this revised edition of the Pacifica to the Stow’n Go seats, which are as practical as ever but are now more comfortable. The 3.6L V6 engine is offered in the two versions and is more than up to the task.
