Photo: FCA For 2021, PARENTS chose its semifinalists by comparing the safety ratings, seat measurements, and safety-restraint systems of new models. PARENTS automotive expert and dad Rob Stumpf then took the 35 semifinalists on test drives to help determine the winners. The 2021 Chrysler Pacifica is a Best Family Cars winner, receiving the Best Handling award primarily due to its available all-wheel-drive system. According to PARENTS, this system improves traction in different weather conditions and makes it easier to handle stop-and-go traffic. Stumpf said, “Refreshed inside and out for 2021, the Pacifica feels like you’re driving on a cloud.”
