What Is New for the 2027 Chrysler Pacifica?
The 2027 Chrysler Pacifica receives a refreshed exterior design along with updated technology and interior details.
New design elements include a refreshed front fascia, an illuminated front grille, new wheel designs, updated LED headlamps and an enhanced rear lightbar. Available interior upgrades include Blue Agave Nappa leather, Tungsten Patina piping and copper-coloured interior accents.
The result is a minivan that combines the practicality families expect with a more premium and modern appearance.
1. Available AWD for Ontario Driving
One of the biggest advantages of the 2027 Chrysler Pacifica is its available All-Wheel Drive (AWD).
The Pacifica AWD is designed to provide additional traction when conditions become challenging, making it particularly useful during Ontario winters, wet roads and changing road conditions.
The 2027 Pacifica AWD uses the 3.6L Pentastar V6, producing 287 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. AWD is available on Select, Limited and Pinnacle models.
The Toyota Sienna also offers AWD, but its current Canadian lineup uses a 2.5L hybrid powertrain producing 245 net horsepower.
That gives shoppers an interesting choice: hybrid efficiency with the Sienna or V6 power and available AWD with the Pacifica.
2. Stow ‘n Go Seating: A Major Pacifica Advantage
For many families, the most important Pacifica feature isn’t horsepower — it’s flexibility.
The Chrysler Pacifica’s Stow ‘n Go seating system allows the second- and third-row seats to fold into the floor, creating a highly flexible interior for passengers, groceries, sports equipment, luggage and larger cargo.
Chrysler says the Pacifica offers up to 243 seating configurations, with its Class-Exclusive Stow ‘n Go storage system providing convenient ways to change the cabin depending on what your family needs that day.
That can be a major advantage over conventional minivan seating systems because you don’t necessarily have to remove seats and find somewhere to store them when you need additional cargo space.
Need room for the family on Monday and room for furniture or equipment on Saturday? Pacifica is designed to adapt.
Note: Second-row Stow ‘n Go availability varies by configuration and is not available on Pinnacle models according to Chrysler Canada.
3. 287 Horsepower from a 3.6L Pentastar V6
The 2027 Pacifica continues with Chrysler’s 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine and nine-speed automatic transmission.
It produces:
- 287 horsepower
- 262 lb-ft of torque
- 9-speed automatic transmission
- Available AWD
- Up to 3,600 lb of towing capacity when properly equipped
For families carrying several passengers, luggage and recreational equipment, that combination provides plenty of capability for highway driving and road trips.
The Honda Odyssey’s current Canadian model produces up to 280 horsepower from its 3.5L V6, while the Toyota Sienna uses a 245-horsepower hybrid system.
4. Up to 3,600 lb of Towing Capacity
A minivan doesn’t have to be limited to school runs and grocery trips.
When properly equipped with the available Trailer Tow Group, the 2027 Chrysler Pacifica can tow up to 1,633 kg (3,600 lb). Chrysler also includes Trailer Sway Control with the towing setup.
That can make the Pacifica useful for:
- Small campers
- Utility trailers
- Personal watercraft
- Outdoor equipment
- Family weekend adventures
If your family spends weekends outside the city, towing capability can become an important consideration when choosing a minivan.
5. Technology Designed Around Families
The 2027 Pacifica is also designed to keep passengers connected and entertained.
Available technology includes a 10.1-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, available 19-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio, FamCAM interior camera technology, Stow ‘n Vac integrated vacuum, second- and third-row window shades and additional charging and power options.
The available Theatre Group adds 10-inch HD rear touchscreens and three-channel video remote controls, with Amazon Fire TV functionality available with the properly equipped system and required connectivity.
For GTA families who regularly travel long distances, rear-seat entertainment can make road trips considerably easier.
6. Family-Friendly Safety Technology
The 2027 Pacifica adds new available technology designed to provide additional awareness around the vehicle.
The available Turn Signal-Activated Blind Spot View uses an exterior mirror camera to display the blind-spot area on the Uconnect touchscreen when the turn signal is activated.
The available Park-Sense-Based Camera Activation can activate the camera when the parking sensors detect an obstruction while reversing.
The Pacifica also offers standard safety technologies including Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection.
2027 Chrysler Pacifica vs. Toyota Sienna, Honda Odyssey and Kia Carnival
Every vehicle in this segment has its strengths.
Chrysler Pacifica vs. Toyota Sienna
The Toyota Sienna’s biggest advantage is its hybrid powertrain and strong fuel-efficiency figures. The current Canadian Sienna produces 245 net horsepower and offers available electronic AWD.
The Pacifica takes a different approach with a 287-hp V6, available AWD and its highly flexible Stow ‘n Go seating system.
Pacifica advantage: V6 power, Stow ‘n Go flexibility and available AWD.
Sienna advantage: Hybrid powertrain and excellent fuel efficiency.
Chrysler Pacifica vs. Honda Odyssey
The Honda Odyssey offers an 8-passenger configuration and a 3.5L V6 producing up to 280 horsepower.

Pacifica advantage: Available AWD, Stow ‘n Go and up to 3,600-lb towing.
Odyssey advantage: 8-passenger seating and its own family-focused interior features.
Chrysler Pacifica vs. Kia Carnival
The Kia Carnival is another strong alternative, offering 7- and 8-passenger configurations and a modern SUV-inspired exterior. Kia’s current Canadian V6 Carnival produces 288 horsepower and offers up to 3,500 lb of towing capacity.
The Pacifica’s key differentiators include available AWD and Stow ‘n Go seating.
Pacifica advantage: AWD and fold-into-the-floor seating flexibility.
