The 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Limited AWD and Kia Sedona EX are capable family vans with an array of practical features. However, only one offers all-wheel drive and car-like handling. Here is a closer look at how the Pacifica and Sedona perform on the open road.Â
Chrysler Pacifica Limited AWD
Engine: 3.6L V6
Drivetrain: AWD
Horsepower: 287 hp
Torque: 287 lb-ft
Transmission: 9-speed automatic
Kia Sedona EX
Engine: 3.5L V6
Drivetrain: FWD
Horsepower: 248 hp
Torque: 276 lb-ft
Transmission: 8-speed automatic
The 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Limited has more power than the Sedona, and it also boasts an AWD system (which is rare for a minivan). This smart drivetrain saves gas by operating in FWD mode until it senses the need to engage all tires.Â
The AWDÂ then kicks in when temperatures dip below 4 degrees or if the road enters a sharp incline or decline. The Pacifica optimises stability by transferring power to the rear axle or whichever wheels need the most traction at the time. The system also minimizes oversteer while maximizing grip on sand, gravel, or mud.Â
If you want the practicality of a minivan and the drivetrain of an SUV, Â the Chrysler Pacifica AWD is the best choice for you. Contact our Langley, BC dealership to schedule a test drive today.
