A quiet cabin can bring luxury ambiance to any vehicle - helping to create a respite from the world outside and allow families to enjoy even the longest commutes. This is why some autos, such as the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica, use active noise cancellation (ANC) to create an exceptionally peaceful interior for passengers.
ANC in a minivan works as it does in noise-cancelling headphones. Sensors in the vehicle detect exterior sounds (such as road vibrations) and funnels them into a digital signal processor (DSP). It creates an inverse of each sonic wave and sends it out through the stereo speakers.Â
ANC is not the only way to dampen noise in vehicles, however. Another method is to use acoustic glass for the windshield and side windows. Both these features are also available in the new Chrysler Pacifica, and they assure a more refined ride.Â
This double-layer glass surrounds a sheet of transparent vinyl, which acts as a sound-proof barrier. Some vehicles also use the same material as a laminate on the outside of the windows to help reduce road noise and improve the cabin experience.Â

Tri-zone climate controls are a valuable component for larger vehicles, such as the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Touring. They ensure that all passengers achieve the comfort they need - and they can instantly settle squabbles over that elusive perfect temperature. Travel in comfort, Alberta.
A three-sector climate control system allows the driver, passenger, and rear-seat riders to create their own bubbles, independent of the others in the van. Each row is customized to specific needs.
With automatic systems, like the one on the new Pacifica Touring, you can set the temperature, and the vehicle will keep it at that level until you change it. Some cars, however, require you to make adjustments manually.Â
It is important to make a distinction between tri-zone climate controls and rear vents. Many mini-vans and SUVs have back-row heat and air-conditioning outlets behind the centre console. In single or dual-sector cars, these do not have separate settings, so they release air at the same temperature and speed as the front. Â
To learn more about the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica's tri-zone climate controls, contact our Calgary dealership today - and don't hesitate to schedule a test-drive in one of our available models or request additional spec information about this model's many comfort features.
Every new vehicle has a heating and air conditioning system, but some have dual or tri-zone designs. Are these options useful?Â
Two-sector climate control arrangements typically offer different warmth settings for the driver and front passenger. Tri-zone HVAC layouts allow those in the second (and third) row to choose their own hot and cold levels.Â
2021 Chrysler Grand Caravan minivans, for example, provide three separate temperature controls. Importantly, these autos also have rear vents that distribute the air evenly throughout the cabin. If you often carry back-seat passengers, this level of coverage is invaluable during the summer and winter.
