Honestly, I’m actually glad that I’m modern days we get trucks and SUV’s that’s a thing now while we still get some sweet modern minivans. And it’s very well for family that still wants minivans.
The Honda Odyssey is way more popular that Chrysler Pacifica or Toyota Sienna. To prove that go on out and while your outside you'll see multiple drives driving different Honda Odyssey models. So that means way more people like the Honda Odyssey way more the the Pacifica.
@The car enthusiast - Vincent I left this 5 months again. About spreading the word about Honda Odyssey. Since I see lots and lots of Honda Odyssey being driven everyday. Which give proof more people like the Honda Odyssey. And that would mean people all the people that read might read my reply/comment might like the Honda Odyssey too.
@The car enthusiast - Vincent And I also didn't leave this comment/reply on a lot of comments. Like comments from 7 months or even older ago I didn't leave this comment/reply. I can comment/reply anywhere I want.
I seen this van at night in the freeway I was thinking it was a Dodge Durango when I got next to it was a van I was the new Dodge Grand Caravan but in the the morning I looked up the van no it was a Chrysler Pacifica 4days later I Traded in my Dodge Ram for it it’s really good on gas and my 3 kids love the van
If I was forced to own a minivan, I’d definitely want one like the blue model viewed here! To be family orientated, it definitely has a street look that I appreciate! The blacked out grill & rims are the best part

@@isaacogunmuko3947 it just means the odyssey is older than the Pacifica. Also, people buy into the false premise that Honda is so much more reliable. Maybe 20 years ago, now the American manufacturers are just as good
@@madchiller1985 I’m not sure about that, Chrysler and FCA’s (now Stellantis) reliability has been abysmal ever since they partnered. I still think the Pacifica is the best minivan in the segment, but I would still take the Sienna for the much better Toyota reliability and overall quality than Chrysler, or really any other American brand cannot match.
@@isaacogunmuko3947but when you need more space in Honda odyssey you should take the second Row seats out which is sucks , I would choose the Pacifica for this reason
Redline Reviews is one of the best in the business. This review help me out a lot. I need to move around some cargo for work while taking the family on road trips. Plus the S package has a nice road presence, especially if you get the red ones !!! . Was thinking of a Tahoe or Yukon ... May have saved myself 40k !!’ Money I’ll save I’ll put into house Reno’s
Am I the only one who would appreciate a full panel van version of this with no windows at all besides the front two and windshield? I think it would be the best looking work van of the era.
It would then be competing against the Ford Transit and the Ram Pro Master. Those vans are better suited for small business owners and contractors. I think a Pacifica panel van would struggle against those. Especially in the cargo carrying capacity and towing limits. The Transit can tow 5000 pounds. The Pacifica 3500.
I have a 15' Supreme cutaway service body on a 3500 Express.. And a nice 2002 Odyssey. Guess which one i like driving to the job site best. Id love to see a black one with a red s at a job site
@@sentry8992 the issue is that you’re thinking heavy construction equipment, not professional delivery of large quantities and/or heavy items that require special delivery. Not everyone buys panel vans for hauling concrete. Look at the Chevy HHR panel vans. You think those carry a lot of weight?
Hey thank you so so much for this review. I've been looking for a luxury SUV for MONTHS and this finally showed me the minivan I actually want. Put my order in TODAY. This has all the bells and whistles and a blissfully small number of choices to make. Under $56000 FULLY LOADED. Just amazing.

The center screen is well integrated into the interior! The interior looks absolutely gorgeous, the exterior looks great, although the previous-generation probably looked slightly better.
Great video, but 2 real quick things: 1.) You won't need to remove the floor mats to stow the 2nd row seats and... 2.) There's are buttons near the bottom of both B pillars (being the front seats) that move the front seats up and forward to make folding the 2nd row into the floor a lot easier. The same button then puts the seats back to their original positions when you're done.
I rented a Chrysler voyager for a week. The van averaged almost 27 mpg with my leadfoot. It seemed like the Chrysler voyager had everything you need and absolutely nothing you’ve don’t. It was a great man I would recommend it to anyone over a Siena or an odyssey.
I have to say a lot of aggressive drivers I encounter are minivans! But hands down the Pacifica has the best looking design now. Also, there was a hell of a lot of bugs who seemed to also be enjoying the Pacifica.

Probably not more reliable than the Odyssey or Sienna. Definitely better looking than both inside and out. That "S" trim in that color is a VERY good looking minivan.

Can auto manufacturers start letting drivers know there DRL are not lights to use at night since drivers don’t have the sense to check before hitting the road . There’s so many drivers in the road using there DRL at night .
That, one part, and the main problem of this is DRLs only turn on lights at the front (and usually an LED strip that isn't too bright). That means at dusk etc the back of your car is completely dark. Or they keep their brights on when behind you/oncoming, drives me INSANE. But it's like indicators, some people just can't be bother to check.
Ordered my 2021 AWD Limited edition Pacifica with S appearance package in black an color is Maximum Steel metallic for the van. Can't wait to get mine.
We just picked up a 2021 Touring L with leather for 20k! Such a good deal and the thing is freakin MINT. We are very excited, just wish it had some of the tech the pinnacle has
There is a button on the bottom of the B post, if you push it, it automatically moves the front seat up out of the way so the middle row can be stowed away. When you push the button again, it puts the front seat back in position.
For the record, you don’t have to move the floor mats to stow the second row seat. We have a Sienna AWD and I have an F150. We had a Pacifica as a rental, and I absolutely loved it. We drove from NJ to VA and got 32mpg (FWD) and I enjoyed driving it better than our same year Sienna. The only big difference is the second row stow and go. They’re cool, but the Sienna 2nd row moves forwards and back giving second and third row passengers more leg room if needed. My son is pretty tall for 11 and he likes the Pacifica but prefers the Sienna Anyway, I loved it. I’m 6’2” and was as comfortable in anything I’ve been in, and I don’t enjoy driving the Sienna.
The Sienna will last up to 450k miles...the Chrysler maybe 120k before it has major problems. Chrysler is the Worst car manufacturer right now in my opinion 😊
The best looking minivan.. I’ll give it that! But I cannot get past Chrysler’s reputation for reliability. Will this van outlast Honda or Toyota’s version? Doubt it, but hey at least it looks cool during its short life
Your fears about Chrysler reliability are well founded. I own a 2017 Pacifica and it is the 2nd worst vehicle we have ever owned. Tons of problems over the 4 years we have had it.
Our 2017 Pacifica Limited has been an excellent vehicle. 👍🏼 I won’t argue Toyota reliability, Honda has always been good as well, but I have read of a decent amount of issues with the 2018+ Odyssey. Reliability aside, I think the Pacifica is a FAR better vehicle inside and out.
When I was growing up, my father was a Chrysler guy and when I started buying cars myself, Chrysler was my first choice but that has changed. I don't even think I would consider anything they make with maybe the exception of a Jeep Wrangler, but that really isn't practical for me. Our last straw was the Chrysler 200 my wife got about 6 years ago. The transmission was garbage and it finally locked up on her when she stopped for gas one day. It was replaced under warranty, but we traded it on a Toyota Highlander a few months after the transmission issue.

@@freddybell8328 minivans have pretty horrible resale value. Out of all vehicles sold each year, minivans make up an extremely small amount. Poor resale value means excellent lease rates because manufacturers heavily subsidize leases.
Compare with the 2021 Sienna(non-SE mode), which one has a softer/quieter ride especially on a bumpy road? I wish I can buy a minivan that is as quiet as a luxury car like MB or AUDI.

I wonder if it would be possible to put taller springs and shocks on this unit, so the AWD can be used for light back-road camping. Nothing crazy, 4X4 fans, just some tires that can pull it through a mud puddle, not bottom out on the crown of the road, etc. Because that would be a sick weekend warrior van. Those fold-away's are cool.
Mine only has 6k miles on it, then I got the “service battery at dealer” message and it won’t start. I had it towed to the dealer, and they’ve had it for a week and can’t fix it - they said they don’t know what’s wrong? What are my options? I’m shocked - this is a 2021 50k+ vehicle with just 6k miles!! Even more frustrating - they don’t have a rental car available which is part of the warranty agreement! Someone please help!
I really like the Pacifica and had my heart set on it until I saw the 2022 Sedona. I have a 2015 and it has been incredible. Definitely waiting on it to hit the US market before buying especially with those price tags.
Thanks a lot for this great video demo. One question, in that maximum front-to-back cargo configuration (at 4:44 of the video), what is the length you get from the back for the front-row right seat all the way up to the back ? I have iron bars 74" long (unassembled bed frames), was wondering if they could fit here.
A bonus feature that no one talks about is that with the seats folded, the view out the rear is totally unimpeded. If I owned one, I would probably drive it with all of the seats folded into the floor 90% of the time.
There are currently four minivans on sale in the USA... the Pacifica, Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna, and Kia Sedona. (couldn't find the 2021 Sedona's owners manual, but the 2020 is effectively the same vehicle) From the 2021 Odyssey's owner's manual: " if you do allow a small child or infant to ride in the front passenger’s seat, the system is designed to automatically deactivate the front passenger’s airbag." From the 2021 Sienna's owner's manual: "Your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger occupant classification system. This system detects the conditions of the front passenger seat and activates or deactivates the front passenger airbag and seat cushion airbag in the front passenger side." From the 2020 Sedona's owner's manual: "your vehicle is equipped with an occupant detection system in the front passenger's seat. The occupant detection system detects the presence of a passenger in the front passenger's seat and will turn off the front passenger's air bag under certain conditions." From the 2021 Pacifica's owner's manual: The OCS will NOT prevent deployment of the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag. The OCS may reduce the inflation rate of the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag" and says "Unoccupied seat: Reduced-power deployment" We're talking about a 2021 model vehicle here, and it WON'T EVEN TURN OFF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG FOR AN INFANT OR EMPTY SEAT? Every other minivan has had this safety feature for over a decade! The 2002 Honda Odyssey would shut off the passenger airbag if there wasn't sufficient weight in the seat, but a Chrysler minivan from nearly TWO DECADES LATER won't! I wouldn't even buy a car without a passenger airbag shut off sensor if I were looking for a $5,000 used car, so what makes Chrysler think they can sell a $50,000 MINIVAN without this? It passes federal safety standards which require the airbag to be suppressed or for "low risk deployment", but pretty much every other manufacturer has decided that airbags should be shut off for an infant or empty seat, both to reduce the risk of injury to infants and small children and to reduce vehicle damage in the event of a frontal crash with no passenger. January 19, 2021 2:35 am
Doesn't that shiny black pad on the center console control the heated seats for the 2nd row? Looks like a touch screen that's just off, unless that's just a black piano panel.
When you discuss Chrysler, can you please speak to build quality more often? I think your viewers would benefit. I know car companies can be vindictive…but i alway take your advice as truth! Long time fan bro.
A family hauler is supposed to be reliable and ought to hold up in the long term... which this minivan won't... still it is a best seller in this segment Always like that with FCA products, people just buy them regardless of whether they are reliable or not especially RAM trucks
I heard Honda Odysseys are not the most reliable minivan either, which is surprising consider Honda's are usually known to be very good reliability. Sienna I think is the most reliable. Never heard anyone had issues with Siennas.
I like the interior of the Pacifica. If sienna had the interior design like this Pacifica then it would be the perfect van. I really like the stow and go feature vs the 2nd row unavailable to be removed. Also that panoramic window is nice. I don't care for the TV feature in the sienna because that is already out dated everyone has smart devices now.
I went to a racing event over the summer. And this 03 odyssey had a turbo on it. And if I remember correctly, it had around 500hp. It ran high 12s low 13s all day. So yes. People drag race minivans
No One could of EVER DREAMED that Mini Vans would offer any of the features now standard, and availible, and safety when the Mini Van was introduced back in 1984. They could not keep up with the Demand back then. Under powered, penalty box a lot smaller then today’s Mini Vans. 36 years of innovations.
When this redesign was brought forth for 2016 model year, back/side end of vehicle looks wrong. Rear side window & rear window body area, need/should have a definite refresh to be more pleasing to the eye, IMO ... The redesigned taillights are a nice improvement. Any vehicle that has side marker lights around wheel arches just looks like an after thought ... Could be better designed into fender/side panel areas ...
My 2015 Grand Caravan has the 3.6 Pentastar. It has almost almost 320,000km's and it's still going strong on the original engine and transmission!! I'm pretty sure mine has the 6-speed transmission though. My '15 Caravan has ACTUALLY proven itself to be the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. Also, the entire front end is original - never changed a tie rod, ball joint, NOTHING. Original starter motor, original alternator, (although I did put in a new battery in October 2019.)
patiently waiting for the Pacifica Familyhawk

The Sienna will last up to 450k miles...the Chrysler maybe 120k before it has major problems. Chrysler is the Worst car manufacturer right now in my opinion 😊
The 2021 Kia Sedona is eye catching as well.
@@topherinbr the older sienna yes, new ones I doubt it. especially has alot electric and will have electric problems in the long run.
@@topherinbr we weren’t talking about reliability, we were talking about styling
Take note automakers, rwd or awd is the way to go! I'll definitely buy a used one when prices drop
If there were an R/T pkg with a twin turbo v6, the competition would shiver.
The best looking minivan.. I’ll give it that! But I cannot get past Chrysler’s reputation for reliability. Will this van outlast Honda or Toyota’s version? Doubt it, but hey at least it looks cool during its short life
Honda Odyssey is the best van imo, my dad has a 2019 Odyssey
@@mustasheolll2020 Tell your dad good choice! I myself drive a 2019 civic & I must say Honda is the absolute best in that specific class
New Sienna looks pretty badass...better then most SUV’s. And Toyota is much more reliable!
Your fears about Chrysler reliability are well founded. I own a 2017 Pacifica and it is the 2nd worst vehicle we have ever owned. Tons of problems over the 4 years we have had it.
Our 2017 Pacifica Limited has been an excellent vehicle. 👍🏼 I won’t argue Toyota reliability, Honda has always been good as well, but I have read of a decent amount of issues with the 2018+ Odyssey. Reliability aside, I think the Pacifica is a FAR better vehicle inside and out.
When I was growing up, my father was a Chrysler guy and when I started buying cars myself, Chrysler was my first choice but that has changed. I don't even think I would consider anything they make with maybe the exception of a Jeep Wrangler, but that really isn't practical for me. Our last straw was the Chrysler 200 my wife got about 6 years ago. The transmission was garbage and it finally locked up on her when she stopped for gas one day. It was replaced under warranty, but we traded it on a Toyota Highlander a few months after the transmission issue.
Looking forward to the inevitable, insane Hellcat Pacifica.
That blue and black looks great
The 2 cell phone option on the uconnect is all fine n good until your spouse finds the tinder app pop up on the 10.1" screen. Explain that to the judge in divorce court.
"I could complain that it's not sporty enough, but...minivan" 😆
There is a button on B pillar for SNG function. you don't have to force the seat into the tub.. or open the front door to fold the SNG seat.
Sofyan trying to figure out minivan seats is always entertaining.
As far as minivans go I think this is a strong contender. It’s definitely a lease vehicle though IMHO.
Why
@@freddybell8328 minivans have pretty horrible resale value. Out of all vehicles sold each year, minivans make up an extremely small amount. Poor resale value means excellent lease rates because manufacturers heavily subsidize leases.
Leases on these things are terrible
@@andrewlampart I only said that because I personally wouldn't want to "own" one of these when the warranty period was over.
With a terrible depreciation rate, your lease rates will be through the roof.
Dual wireless Carplay on a widescreen when very few autos have single wireless Carplay on a regular screen? 🤯
And you wonder why these cars have alot of issues. They add so much tech and soon enough 1 of them will malfunction
Compare with the 2021 Sienna(non-SE mode), which one has a softer/quieter ride especially on a bumpy road? I wish I can buy a minivan that is as quiet as a luxury car like MB or AUDI.
The Honda Odyssey is way more popular that Chrysler Pacifica or Toyota Sienna. To prove that go on out and while your outside you'll see multiple drives driving different Honda Odyssey models. So that means way more people like the Honda Odyssey way more the the Pacifica.
Still luving my 2017 Pacifica
The Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna are the two most popular Minivans to drive. Since many drivers drive either the Honda Odyssey or Toyota Sienna.
Ranking of Popularity:
1. Honda Odyssey
2. Toyota Sienna
3. Chrysler Pacifica
@@isaacogunmuko3947 not sure what this has to do with me still loving my Pacifica
I prefer the limited with the blackout trim and awd. I makes it look awesome!
He remembers so many details!
I wonder if it would be possible to put taller springs and shocks on this unit, so the AWD can be used for light back-road camping. Nothing crazy, 4X4 fans, just some tires that can pull it through a mud puddle, not bottom out on the crown of the road, etc. Because that would be a sick weekend warrior van. Those fold-away's are cool.
There's a button on the B-pillar bottom to slide the front seats forward before Stowing the 2nd row
Sofyan, On the Pinnacle Trim, you actually Lose the Stow & Go in the 2nd Row because of the More Upgrade Captains Chairs.
If they're loose, I wonder if they can be tightened?
This van is awesome! Simply put
Your channel definitely deserves my subs!
The next time I rent a minivan at the airport, I’ll be opting for the Pacifica.
You’ll get a basic version that’s nowhere near comfortable. The seats are poorly padded and it gets poor fuel economy.
The best review so far, I love the Limited S.
Mine only has 6k miles on it, then I got the “service battery at dealer” message and it won’t start. I had it towed to the dealer, and they’ve had it for a week and can’t fix it - they said they don’t know what’s wrong? What are my options? I’m shocked - this is a 2021 50k+ vehicle with just 6k miles!! Even more frustrating - they don’t have a rental car available which is part of the warranty agreement! Someone please help!
How did this work out at the end?
@@bkdp they finally found a short in a wired connection somewhere that was causing the issue
Love the blue. Best looking in segment
If I change mind I must be getting either one honda Odyssey 2023 sport ( a must) or this trim S blue one.
الحمد لله على السمع و الأبصار و الأفئدة.
Alhamdulillah for sight, hearing and heart.
I really like the Pacifica and had my heart set on it until I saw the 2022 Sedona. I have a 2015 and it has been incredible. Definitely waiting on it to hit the US market before buying especially with those price tags.
Thanks a lot for this great video demo. One question, in that maximum front-to-back cargo configuration (at 4:44 of the video), what is the length you get from the back for the front-row right seat all the way up to the back ? I have iron bars 74" long (unassembled bed frames), was wondering if they could fit here.
My dad is 6'8" and was able to lay down in mine with room to spare. We were trying to figure out if I could van camp in it.
What a good looking rental.
Excellent review sofyan
Wish this was an SUV or sedan, best looking chrysler in a LONG time, and it just HAD to be a minivan
A bonus feature that no one talks about is that with the seats folded, the view out the rear is totally unimpeded. If I owned one, I would probably drive it with all of the seats folded into the floor 90% of the time.
There are currently four minivans on sale in the USA... the Pacifica, Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna, and Kia Sedona. (couldn't find the 2021 Sedona's owners manual, but the 2020 is effectively the same vehicle)
From the 2021 Odyssey's owner's manual: " if you do allow a small child or
infant to ride in the front passenger’s seat, the system is designed to automatically deactivate the front passenger’s airbag."
From the 2021 Sienna's owner's manual: "Your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger occupant
classification system. This system detects the conditions of the front passenger seat and activates or deactivates the front passenger airbag and seat cushion airbag in the front passenger side."
From the 2020 Sedona's owner's manual: "your vehicle is equipped with an occupant detection system in the front passenger's seat. The occupant detection system detects the presence of a passenger in the front passenger's seat and will turn off the front passenger's air bag under certain conditions."
From the 2021 Pacifica's owner's manual: The OCS will NOT prevent deployment of the
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag. The OCS may reduce the inflation rate of the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag" and says "Unoccupied seat: Reduced-power deployment"
We're talking about a 2021 model vehicle here, and it WON'T EVEN TURN OFF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG FOR AN INFANT OR EMPTY SEAT? Every other minivan has had this safety feature for over a decade! The 2002 Honda Odyssey would shut off the passenger airbag if there wasn't sufficient weight in the seat, but a Chrysler minivan from nearly TWO DECADES LATER won't! I wouldn't even buy a car without a passenger airbag shut off sensor if I were looking for a $5,000 used car, so what makes Chrysler think they can sell a $50,000 MINIVAN without this? It passes federal safety standards which require the airbag to be suppressed or for "low risk deployment", but pretty much every other manufacturer has decided that airbags should be shut off for an infant or empty seat, both to reduce the risk of injury to infants and small children and to reduce vehicle damage in the event of a frontal crash with no passenger.

I wanna see how the awd on this stacks up to the sienna's awd in the snow
Me too.
Sienna’s AWD is all-electric now.
I’m an SUV driver but always said if I ever got a mini van it would have to be sporty looking ... like the blue one. :)
Good review! The S trim limited Heated second row seat button is right there at the door panel, please look closer
I love it how much is this one. I have 2005. I want to trade mine. Also the color i love it. I love it wow
Doesn't that shiny black pad on the center console control the heated seats for the 2nd row? Looks like a touch screen that's just off, unless that's just a black piano panel.
When you discuss Chrysler, can you please speak to build quality more often? I think your viewers would benefit. I know car companies can be vindictive…but i alway take your advice as truth! Long time fan bro.
A family hauler is supposed to be reliable and ought to hold up in the long term...
which this minivan won't... still it is a best seller in this segment
Always like that with FCA products, people just buy them regardless of whether they are reliable or not especially RAM trucks
I heard Honda Odysseys are not the most reliable minivan either, which is surprising consider Honda's are usually known to be very good reliability. Sienna I think is the most reliable. Never heard anyone had issues with Siennas.
@@asdfghjqwertyu1858 Yeah with their 9-speed tyranny...
But now it's fixed ... It's replaced with the 10-speed auto
I am glad they stopped that awful zf transmission on the odyssey, but i do not understand why they still offer it in the pilot and ridgeline
It's not that great in those vehicles as well
If i was to ever buy a minivan this would be the one!
Love the AWD option. If vehicles other than SUVs are going to survive, AWD is going to be huge I think
I like the interior of the Pacifica. If sienna had the interior design like this Pacifica then it would be the perfect van. I really like the stow and go feature vs the 2nd row unavailable to be removed. Also that panoramic window is nice. I don't care for the TV feature in the sienna because that is already out dated everyone has smart devices now.
is pinnacle not part of the trim? why still mention @11:56 that ....higher version.
I went to a racing event over the summer. And this 03 odyssey had a turbo on it. And if I remember correctly, it had around 500hp. It ran high 12s low 13s all day. So yes. People drag race minivans
No One could of EVER DREAMED that Mini Vans would offer any of the features now standard, and availible, and safety when the Mini Van was introduced back in 1984. They could not keep up with the Demand back then. Under powered, penalty box a lot smaller then today’s Mini Vans. 36 years of innovations.
When this redesign was brought forth for 2016 model year, back/side end of vehicle looks wrong. Rear side window & rear window body area, need/should have a definite refresh to be more pleasing to the eye, IMO ... The redesigned taillights are a nice improvement. Any vehicle that has side marker lights around wheel arches just looks like an after thought ... Could be better designed into fender/side panel areas ...
When is the twin turbo Mopar edition being released?
My 2015 Grand Caravan has the 3.6 Pentastar. It has almost almost 320,000km's and it's still going strong on the original engine and transmission!! I'm pretty sure mine has the 6-speed transmission though. My '15 Caravan has ACTUALLY proven itself to be the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. Also, the entire front end is original - never changed a tie rod, ball joint, NOTHING. Original starter motor, original alternator, (although I did put in a new battery in October 2019.)
