About the 2025 Chrysler Pacifica
Our scoring places the 2025 Chrysler Pacifica at 7.2/10 overall, which translates to a Good rating for this minivan. Its strongest dimension is Safety at 9.0/10, while Performance at 6.4/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a capable but unexceptional minivan — stronger alternatives exist if you're willing to shop the segment carefully.
Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. Reliability is the weak spot: 6.4/10, under the class average. Review the recall record on this page and price in extra maintenance headroom. The 9.0/10 safety score puts it near the top of the class on this dimension; the official trim-level results at nhtsa.gov are worth a final check.
Performance at 6.4/10 is a genuine liability and a score that should factor heavily into any buying decision. The powertrain and chassis dynamics trail class rivals by a meaningful margin — don't overlook it. Tech rates a reasonable 7.2/10: the essentials are covered and well executed, but rivals at the same price often include more as standard.
Priced from $41,189–$47,961, 23 MPG, seating 8, the Chrysler Pacifica sits in the mid-market bracket of the minivan segment. The 7.2/10 value score says the pricing is fair rather than generous; cross-shop the segment before signing anything. At 1 year old, it's recent enough that the core feature set holds up well against current competition.
Our take: The 2025 Chrysler Pacifica is a passable minivan but not a standout one. Weaknesses in reliability and performance hold it back from being a strong recommendation. It may suit buyers with specific needs it serves well, but we'd encourage comparing at least two or three higher-scored alternatives before deciding.
