This year, Chrysler pulled out all the stops to build one of the best minivans on the market. Of course, you could go with the base trim, but what do the others have to offer? This trim comparison can help you decide which Chrysler Pacifica offering you should purchase.
Choosing a Pacifica Trim
The 2023 Chrysler Pacifica is the top minivan on the market. While there aren’t many minivans on the market, this one is easily a top choice for families, offering great performance and plenty of features.
Touring
The 2023 Chrysler Pacifica Touring is the base trim and the least expensive option for the Chrysler Pacifica. It has a starting MSRP of $37,020 and comes with plenty of essential features.

This trim seats seven people max. The Uconnect 5 infotainment system features a 10.1-inch touchscreen with Amazon Alexa, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration.
