2017 Chrysler Pacifica - Review and Road Test

Forget the Chrysler Town & Country, literally. Instead, feast your booster seats on the completely redesigned Pacifica. This minivan vaults Chrysler from last place into a strong contender for best-in-class. Find out why with KBB’s Micah Muzio.

Is it bad that I got more excited watching this Chrysler than the Porsche 911 Carrera review they did awhile back? 😂 Also really cool how he was so animated w/ his daughter!

[@michaelsmith9308]

Agree! the minivan was calling his name!!!!!!!!!

[@OfAllThingzFooty]

Greatest reviews on KZbin hands down.

[@jesseruiz7004]

you are absolutely 100% incorrect!

[@seabass9916]

Some people see the pacifica as a cheesy, family vehicle. To me, it seems like the ultimate road trip car. You have plenty of room for friends and their stuff. If you needed too, a couple people could sleep in it, because you have that much room. It's easy to drive all day. It's awesome.

[@stephenreed3381]

Honestly, road tripping is one reason I'm looking at this.

[@jaimeramirez4766]

@@stephenreed3381 Me too!!!! LOL

[@johnlagreca6288]

Portable office for me.

[@itmustbelove08]

She is so adorable Micah. Great review as always.

[@lb4941]

my aunt and uncle test drive one recently and were evolved in a serious accident. The van looked like it was hit by a train. seeing the picture you would expect they would be dismembered. But fortunately they were almost unharmed. They actually bought one after the accident. (which wasn't their fault)

[@1MarkKeller]

WOW!

[@ZubinB]

That intro is basically why I love KBB.

[@AlteredRealityCosplay]

Though I'll never buy a minivan, I do like its interior design ALOT!

[@thereforeagency]

You're one of the only car reviewers that makes me laugh outloud. Koodos for getting the job done brilliantly and being entertaining at the same time.

[@jacobreed47]

I love babies! Just bought our 2018 Pacifica Limited L with S black package. And gotta say it's damn fun to drive. Never thought I'd say that but test drive one, you'll see what I mean. Super quiet, full of tech, DVD system. Apple car play and Android Auto standard. So cool we don't need to spend 899 on a Uconnect tomtom based Nav. Google maps much better. Could go on and on how good the Pacifica is .

[@MrTrip3ace]

I love the styling on this van. Interior aesthetics are gorgeous. Great mpg too. Great job Chrysler

[@ebg1222]

Only you guys can make a video about a Pacifica interesting and fun. Great job.

[@ingineous]

Awesome vid broski....plus your daughter's smile helped to sell my wife the concept of owning one!

[@PunxsutawneyDave]

My fiancé and I have been anxiously awaiting this review. We decided if Micah and or Zach liked it that would be all we needed to take the plunge. And furthermore I will happily tell all my minivan hating friends that Micah Muzio has advised me to tell them they can kiss my grits if they don't like it.

[@BTC909]

So you have someone to blame IF errr umm WHEN it falls apart. For what it is it's your best bet right now but it isn't going to last.

[@jigglemankiller]

I would defiantly wait on the Redesigned Toyota and Honda models coming out.

[@creativemindplay]

Do you make/like/eat grits? I know it's an expression but...ijs

[@Sciron]

Ian Tavenner yes

[@compilot007]

i’m 20 now, but when I was 18 I scoured craigslist for the cheapest running minivan I could find so my friends and I could hotbox it when the weather got too cold outside lol anyways I found a 2003 grand caravan for $400 that had a steering wheel wobble... long story short I replaced 1 tire and I still have that van today. easily the most reliable/versatile car i’ve owned I recommend everyone gets a minivan at some point

[@chrismonteith1]

not at all!

[@colemichael6409]

I'd so get the Pacifica, I'd love to have it!!

[@AuthenTech]

This guy is GOOD at car reviews :) 👍

[@jonasgatlin404]

@Shawn Keenan Glad I could help :)

[@newsmedia-one9756]

The Sedona's exterior design I really like, but the Pacifica's is also great looking, those two are pretty hard to choose from.

[@geekytechycool]

Best content I've seen from KBB on a long time. Keep up the good work guys!

[@kbb]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@SociallyBrandedMedia]

I'm thinking about this minivan more than an SUV. Maybe the expectations are too high but, SUV's always seem to fall short of their marks ie. Safety, MPG, ease of use, use of space, reliability, innovation, cost, etc. The Pacifica says "Practical and Style" and I think you can dress it up, mildly (IMO). FYI... The little girl is adorable, definitely a happy and loved child! Way to go Dad!

[@schxn]

I still like the Sedona's exterior design, but I prefer the Pacifica's interior.

[@KevinSmith-qi5yn]

New Fiat rule. Only Fiat vehicles are allowed to have crappy interiors.

[@Travisb238]

Kevin Smith lol what? My Fiat interior is incredible and my favorite part of the vehicle. The details and materials are very high quality.

[@guygood3760]

ugly before better ugly asia car style fail this time

[@am6483]

Chrysler has a big hit with this one. Great review KBB, you're among the best.

[@zrp0602]

These reviews help me cope with Monday's

[@hoppysport2872]

Just love those Stow & Go seats. Travel with an Aero Bed Full or even Queen, stow the seats, and you can use it for overnight accommodations. .Just shower at a gym. I rented a Pacifica and it was a pleasure to drive. Only caveat is that it's a Chrysler product, so you just know that there are quality problems lurking, which is a shame.

[@jamiemartinello6436]

Love this Pacifica, but I love my original Pacifica, too!

[@simw138]

it is fun to watch these guys car review.

[@brookedressel4919]

The most enjoyable and informative car review ever. Just decided on our new ride.

[@BabaWubba]

We just had our second child, we travel a lot with yearly trips to Florida (and California starting next year) and we are looking to upgrade from our Jetta TDI. I got to say, this minivan is very tempting even though I am dead set on getting either Ford Explorer or the GMC Yukon.

[@aaronknoll8508]

God, Monday's are so hard to wait for...

[@rustlesee]

I'm liking this not because I like Chrysler, or minvans. But because you and your daughter are great!

[@chrisgleeton6823]

So this is the first time I've watched a KBB review, and also my first review with Micah. Damn, that was entertaining. You've earned a sub for sure, I look forward to exploring the rest of your work.

[@azkmn7]

Your daughter adorable 😊 and this review is top notch. 👌

[@nextfitness22]

this guy, and his reviews are freaking GREAT!

[@Mill835]

When I first saw this Chrysler Pacifica Mini van a friend had one in white and I fell in love with its noticeable difference from other vans, just kidding around with him I would tell him to take good care of his Pacifica because I was going to be the second owner. Well here we are and I was able Thank God to buy a used 2017 this van has lots of room, what a difference in this and my Kia Sedona. I was hoping for a good review and this gave me just that, thanks. Now if I could just learn to use all the features I’d be dangerous, lol. Oh and mine is a beautiful black on black in black surrounded by black, through and through.

[@michellemarie1197]

Honestly i think everyone secretly wants one of these even if they dont have kids, and that stow and go seating is awesome

[@deapthynka1]

This guy is entertaining. Very funny and informative review. Good stuff

I like this review style....wayy better than I expected.

I don't have kids but this van got me thinking to have children.

[@OfAllThingzFooty]

wow Chrysler secret agenda of populating the earth with more Chrysler fans seems to be working.

Matthew Palanca lol

[@Sevan_UP]

Matthew Palanca just so you can buy this van

[@Shyzah]

Matthew Palanca no kidding. im not into minivans but when i saw this at the la auto show i fell in love with it. better than the ugly ass odyssey

[@anthonyk]

get a big suburban or tahoe

[@mikedavid429]

I’ve never seen a dad so exicited about minivan lol. I’m sold though 1st minivan on my list.

[@Retro.foxhound]

I’m really considering buying this nice looking minivan but Is true it has electric transmission problems as well as suspension ? I read lots of reviews stating that it has transmission problems 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@ZubinB]

Step 1: Shift to US. Step 2: Marry someone, get a green card. Step 3: Have 6 kids. Step 4: Buy this van. #LifeGoals

[@nicolasrmarca9642]

Lmao

[@samaysahoo3494]

LMAO!!!

[@pepper0075]

you are the guy!

[@BigSmoove77x]

Zubin B. How bout not getting married save your money and buy this van o yea don't have kids neither

[@blainne2012]

Step 5: Van has engine problems. Step 6: Take it to Chrysler. Step 7: Chrysler makes up lame excuse not to fix it under warranty. Step 8: Pay $3,000 out of your own pocket. Step 9: Kids don't eat for two months and 3 of 6 kids die. At least Chrysler saved $3k.

[@SilverScarletSpider]

Who needs Power Wheels when you have Micah?

[@rafspitfire]

Great reviews you guys always kill it!

[@pavko718]

Best review ever! Great fun to watch! Thank you!

[@pilgrim920205]

I used a decibel reader on the Cell phone during a test drive of a Touring L Plus trim. The Active noise cancellation as well as acoustical glass and insulation package combined to produce only 40-50dbs. By contrast vehicles without those features will score between 50-70 dbs in the cabin noise category. They quiet tuned the vehicle well. Lower trim lines get less insulation and may have louder cabins.

[@GlenWFord-ps8ts]

Hands down-he`s the best reviewer on the net.

[@950Brandon]

i have to say, you are the funniest reviewers on KZbin… GOOD JOB!

[@meogiee]

Great review. You did a good job I was well entertained and informed. You should do another with high trim or other van models with your daughter of course

[@saulm9794]

Micah awesome review like always happy to know you're a father too

[@devonnewest7990]

Just the BEST reviews period. Really enjoyed this one too! You make them fun & adorable, not just info. Very entertaining, looking forward to next :-) likd n subd.

The vent scene was amazing

[@sianted100]

Nice review man, you really know how to make your reviews excited, and your little one is so cute.

[@aidandonaldson7]

Love the alliteration: “Vexing vents!”

[@ElusiveRIDE]

Probably best review u guys did :) thank you. Im really hoping to see comparison between all miniwans (quest, sedona, siena, pacifica and odysseys) just so my family knows what to expect out of each :)

[@chrisperrywv]

I love her little spout!

[@delacruz-assefa5856]

Great review! Thoughtful and full of sane humour. Love it. You must be from Calgary because I saw you were driving under the airport tunnel in one of your videos

[@user-oq3lv6lv7x]

I would wait to buy this van I would wait about a year to see if any recalls/issues pop up

[@DavidRiehl756]

True! And that can be said for pretty much about anything these days because something's are bound to fail.

[@penvon]

Wait to see? It's a Chrysler,this vehicle by itself is an issue.

[@user-oq3lv6lv7x]

+penvon True people would be better just buying the Japanese competitors

[@farism5313]

she is so adorable... i didnt even notice the minivan

[@infinitigjj6779]

Love this guy quite entertaining when reviewing car

[@1998232v6]

We just traded ours in today for a new Honda Odyssey. Our Pacifica started to Rust on the hood in several places (it was even garage kept), and the transmission was clunky. Apparently, these cars are notorious for having bad transmissions and rusting easily.

[@crescentbeach691]

Awesome reviews. Just great mix of info, commentary and humor. Well done!

[@UberSpieler]

Best mini-van by a mile, period.

[@o2i3u5klwerh8]

that pacifica does look awesome

[@barbaraschenck5691]

Really good review! Loved the humor. Thanks.

[@charlesholliday8600]

A very good review. I thought your daughter was the highlight of the review. Great choice to add her in.

[@olskool1964]

Love the review and the vid bro! U need to do more vids.

[@pablonaracena]

KBB you guys are the best, awesome review

[@eddieconroy212]

Very good review. The minivan looks awesome, shame there's not a five seater for the UK. Oh, your daughter is a real sweetheart.

[@risemahadeva]

Awesome review! VERY entertaining!

[@RafiLake]

Good review. Thanks.

[@rakshitvedia5332]

Nice review of the car. I must say Micah's daughter is too cute and adorable.

[@xr4ti548]

That's an impressive van. I think we've have become spoiled as to how good most vehicles are now, that we have to nitpick over the most petty things to find fault.

[@JasmeetSingh-yr6pd]

Nice review again but where is CX 9 review you guys suppose to be do that in second week of August don't you

[@kbb]

The review was shot a couple weeks ago and will enter the post-production phase shortly.

[@zrp0602]

+Kelley Blue Book how can we know what car reviews are coming and when?

[@JasmeetSingh-yr6pd]

OK THANKS I AM EAGERLY WAITING FOR THAT REVIEW

[@Ricky-ms4fu]

+Kelley Blue Book how's the stereo system and is it 13 speakers or 20 speakers system

[@Lion-dr7uv]

Best looking van on the market

[@CoziHasSauce]

Wish they brought this to Australia. That stow n go system would work so well in practice

[@Antenox]

Oh my god, he has spawned

[@MicahMuzio]

Yeah, I'm shocked too.

[@jesusmice6165]

Lol... fucking troll Micah is gonna make a great dad.

[@gene978]

Micah is she getting BIG already and Adorable! So darn CUTE! Must take after mom LOL ;) Nice Review as always!!

[@MicahMuzio]

Not only that but she's walking with the swagger of an enraged drunk. I love her eagerness and tenacity but man, this injury-prone phase has me on edge.

[@gene978]

+Micah Muzio makes you wonder how all the parents ahead of you raising multiple kids and baby sitting did it. Did they just give up after a while? But you have to love this stage of life and wonder what's next! :)

[@eltonjohn3236]

Like all Chrysler products, I'd wait until after the first year to see how reliable it is.

[@SimplexSM]

In my experience, Chrysler's Trucks and Minivans has always been super reliable.

[@eltonjohn3236]

Simplex SM That's unusual, given that every reliability study says they're well below average.

[@SimplexSM]

+elton john Most likely because of the jeeps and the smaller cars.

[@Joe_Rebel]

If you take care of them nothing goes wrong most the time, now if the vehicle has not been taken care of, when it gets older with 100,000 Miles or 160,000 km on it all the problems start to come in at once since nothing was maintained properly and age is cruel. My mom had two Chryslers, 1st one was an 04 Pacifica. It was pretty dependable in that it would start up every time as long as the battery had a charge, but a few things did go wrong like there was a mild rust problem since I reside in Canada (frame and exhaust) and that I would say was the biggest issue. But it was a TANK, and if you got into an accident. Well lets just say its the other vehicle that is gonna take the beating while the Pacifica will drive away and with little damage, depending on speed of course. 2nd Is a 2012 Dodge Caravan, and I must say this is one of the most reliable Chrysler products out there. Had it since 70,000km and it is at 150 ish at the moment and all it had between then and now was a mis fire in one of the cylinders (I think it was just the spark plug). But there is a tranny issue which developed where shifting from reverse to drive really fast would usually cause a clunk. I blame the way it was driven, going into the next gear while in motion aka R to D while still rolling backwards slightly (Women, am I right?). Also its not like the either cars are being cared for as much as any car should be cared for.

[@adamischaos6121]

Simplex SM I have a 2009 town and country and in one year I had to replace the tranny at 73k miles and the rear ac system at 79k miles. A total of $4500! Only in one year!

Great review! Really enjoy watching KBB reviews! You have an adorable little girl!

[@yamcarotta2218]

Your kids is adorable!!!! Congratulations!

[@dave_thomas]

Excellent review. Very enjoyable to watch.

[@mikesuave5336]

This is a Wonderful Van I just got it in Oct and I have to say I'm really happy!!!

[@paule2658]

Currently renting this minivan, love everything about it except for the engine stopping at lights or traffic and starting when you depress the brake. It'd be okay if it was a smooth transition but it's jerky. If you could deal with that everything about it from this review is true. Great pickup and corners like a sedan.

[@robertholowczenko4396]

DUDE! You actually made a Minivan test and review video fun to watch. Well done and great shameless daughter plug!

[@kwasiboateng4100]

Adorable beyond words

[@TalismanPHX]

Such an adorable little girl, and you're looking like a happy new dad. Is there plans for a all-wheel drive version of the Pacifica?

[@ragazzi25]

if this thing proves to be reliable, its a great minivan...design is awesome!

[@NovieBigSad]

She's adorable! Love the reviews

[@kbb]

Thanks, Arslan! Glad you enjoy our reviews!

[@north3606]

Great review! Thanks for the Dad's perspective too :)

[@dvran]

Yes, it's nice and has a lot of USBs, but how the reliability and build quality? This matters most to families when they buy a minivan to have for many years.

[@davidp2707]

They're all about the same now. It's not 2006 anymore

[@itzbrandon579]

I would say not to great on reliability and quality, the automatic transmission would not work correctly, malfunctioning gps and other electronics, there were recalls, there’s almost a handful of issues since Chrysler is not good with quality

[@stanza77]

My son is named “Micah” because of you bro😂 not “after” you but rather because we were thinking of names and I thought of Micah from KBB and I said “How about Micah?” And she liked it. Anyway we’re working on a 4th and I need a van.

[@jab1720]

ok Micah....your own money....current odyssey elite touring vs this one. what's your pick?

[@JohnSmith-rx2nd]

I love these reviews! Youre so funny and silly lol, we totally have the same sense of humor so i laugh alot while watching. Great review as usual

[@buckshot6481]

They put the nine speed POS in the Pacifica ? Thank goodness I went for the high trimmed, much cheaper, same engine with a decent six speed Grand Caravan !

[@cozygooding6244]

😂 you guys make my minivan search entertaining!

[@kbb]

We're so glad to hear that! What are you leaning towards?

[@joseitox]

I would never buy a minivan (I don't need it) but this was my favorite review ever. So cute!!!

got 08 new sienna 80k present and the only thing i can remember so far is to changed my tires brakes oils bulbs and battery.
