Chrysler Pacifica MPG and Drivetrain
Drivetrain is the biggest player in determining what kind of MPG your 2021 Pacifica will get. With this minivan, you'll get to choose between two, each with different EPA-estimated fuel economy numbers:
- Front-Wheel Drive MPG:Â 19 city/28 highway
- All-Wheel Drive MPG:Â 17 city/25 highway
As you can see, standard FWD gives you a slight MPG boost, especially on the highway. However, the difference isn't significant enough to forego AWD altogether, especially considering all the extra benefits that come with the AWD system in the 2021 Pacifica.
Our area experiences all four seasons, so it's especially important to have a vehicle that can take on all of them with ease, whether it's a sunny summer day, a rainy spring afternoon, or a snowy winter morning.
When you're carrying precious cargo, having an AWD system that can automatically transfer 100% of the available engine power to the wheels with the most traction is crucial to navigating those slick wintertime roadways.
2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid MPG
Now, if MPG is your top concern in choosing your next minivan, then you'll probably like the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. This vehicle gets 80 combined MPGe according to EPA estimates. It also has a total driving range of 510 miles on a single tank.
Let's look a little more closely at that EPA-estimated driving range. That combines your electric range and your gas range, which are as follows:
- Electric driving range:Â 32 miles
- Gas driving range:Â 478 miles
As you can see, if you're someone who has a short commute or who mostly uses their van for quick errands, then the 32-mile fully-electric driving range can allow you to get it all done before even dipping into the gas tank.
Then, if you have a longer journey ahead of you as you head out on your next family vacation, the gas tank can kick in once you max out your electric driving range and take you another 478 miles before you need to fill up. That's more than the distance from Pearl River to Niagara Falls!
