Driving the whole family around Langley in the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica is sure to smooth and seamless, thanks to its variable valve timing (VVT) 3.6L Pentastar V6 and the rest of its powertrain. This system has been engineered to deliver efficiency and performance on every journey.
The powerplant can crank out up to 287 HP and a maximum of 262 lb-ft of torque, so hills and highways won't make it break a sweat. Meanwhile, it has improved efficiency, thanks to an Engine Stop/Start (ESS) system that shuts off the motor whenever the minivan comes to a halt and then resumes operation once it's time to accelerate again.
When you consider that engine has been paired to the seamless segment-first 9-speed automatic transmission, it's no wonder it achieves a fuel efficiency rating as good as 8.4 L/100 km (34 mpg) on the highway. This comes courtesy of the unique calibration, which affords the shifter the ability to transition between gears smoothly. Likewise, lower RPMs are possible when at high speeds to enhance resource conservation further.
Curious to know the powertrain's efficiency for yourself? That's simple, thanks to the 7-inch full-colour customisable in-cluster display centre, which can show you performance information during drives around BC.
