The Chrysler Pacifica continues to impress and rack up awards. Its latest accolade comes from AutoGuide, which honored the family-favorite minivan with the title of Family Vehicle of the Year for 2021.
The award-winning Chrysler Pacifica was one of 100 new models the staff at AutoGuide evaluated for this year’s awards. Whittling the contenders to 34 finalists, the team used six categories to guide them in their judging. Categories included safety, user-friendliness, value, technology, and innovation. The vehicles that made it to the top spots had to set new standards and not just beat the competition in one specific category, according to AutoGuide.

Do you think Chrysler is onto something here? Imagine, a big, luxurious seven-seat utility vehicle with space to spare, a comfortable ride and all-wheel drive. Oh but wait, it’s not a monster SUV, it’s a minivan. Oh, well, forget it.
Still here? Good, because so is Chrysler, the automaker that invented minivans and is still perfecting the concept while most other automakers have hitched their wagons to the sport-ubiquity vehicle instead.
The subject of our attention here is literally and figuratively the pinnacle of a revised 2021 Chrysler Pacifica lineup that adds this Pinnacle flagship and also extends downmarket with two sub-$40,000 trims re-badged as Grand Caravans. In between are four Pacifica grades starting at about $45,000, plus for plug-in hybrid grades.
