About the 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid
Our scoring places the 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid at 6.8/10 overall, which translates to a Good rating for this phev. Its strongest dimension is Safety at 8.6/10, while Reliability at 5.7/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a capable but unexceptional phev — 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: 5.7/10, under the class average. Review the recall record on this page and price in extra maintenance headroom. The 8.6/10 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 6.5/10 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. Technology scores 6.9/10 — the infotainment and driver-assist features feel dated against current-generation rivals. This is worth weighing if you prioritize connected features or modern safety tech.
Priced from $49,340–$64,898, 80 MPG, seating 7, the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid sits in the premium tier of the phev category. The value score of 6.8/10 is a red flag — comparable alternatives offer meaningfully more for the same outlay. Shop the segment before deciding. At 4 years old, it's worth checking whether a newer generation or refresh has addressed any weaker dimensions — compare it to the current model year before buying.
Our take: The 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is a passable phev but not a standout one. Weaknesses in technology and value and performance and reliability 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.
