2004 Chrysler Pacifica Review

First look at all-new sport-touring vehicle.
Walkaround
The vice-president on this program worked for almost three years in Stuttgart and Berlin on the Mercedes-Benz GST, or Grand Sport Tourer, before being reassigned to the Pacifica program here in the United States, and the vehicle is rife with borrowed Mercedes-Benz parts and technologies, including the complete rear suspension system borrowed from the Mercedes E-Class sedan.

Styling is always going to be subjective, but we think the Chrysler guys have hit a home run. Pacifica doesn't look like anything else on the road. It's less radical and less expensive than the Nissan Murano and Infiniti FX45 crossovers, its glass-to-steel proportions are new and different, yet by its grille, the Pacifica couldn't be anything but a Chrysler.

Pacifica is as much as 18 inches longer and 6 inches wider than some of its crossover competitors. Yet it is almost 3 inches lower to the ground than a typical minivan, which makes it easier to climb inside.

While the Pacifica is in the lower part of the E-Class price range, it is still a Chrysler, as evidenced by its homegrown powertrain, the biggest, most powerful V6 Chrysler has ever made, more than enough to haul typical family loads, and rated to tow as much as 3500 pounds.
