The 2026 Pacifica uses a 287-horsepower 3.6L Pentastar V6 and nine-speed automatic transmission to provide its gas-powered configuration with smooth highway performance. Front-wheel drive is standard, while Chrysler makes AWD available across the Select, Limited, and Pinnacle trims.
For Jefferson City families, that combination works for daily routes along Missouri Boulevard and US-54 as well as longer trips toward Columbia, Fulton, and the Lake of the Ozarks. The available AWD system transfers torque between the front and rear wheels when additional traction is needed.

Stow 'n Go second- and third-row seating
The Pacifica gives families seating for up to eight and combines passenger capacity with a highly configurable cabin. Gas models use Stow 'n Go seating, allowing the second and third rows to fold into the floor to create additional cargo-carrying flexibility.
That layout can accommodate groceries, sports equipment, luggage, strollers, camping supplies, or larger purchases without requiring a separate cargo trailer. For weekend activities around Binder Lake or trips across Mid-Missouri, the Pacifica can switch between passenger transportation and cargo-hauling duties.
The 2026 Pacifica uses a 10.1-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Available technology includes navigation, Wi-Fi connectivity, premium audio, and a rear-seat entertainment system with dual touchscreens and Amazon Fire TV. The cabin can also provide as many as 12 USB ports.
The 2026 Pacifica includes driver-assistance technology designed to support family transportation. Standard equipment includes automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and lane-departure warning.
For parents moving through Jefferson City traffic, school zones, parking lots, and highway routes, these systems provide additional driver awareness without changing the Pacifica's primary focus on family transportation.
Car and Driver gives the 2026 Chrysler Pacifica an 8/10 rating and says it "continues to impress families" with its extensive features, powertrain choices, and large, configurable interior. The publication also highlights the Pacifica's Stow 'n Go seating and available AWD.
A 2026 Chrysler Pacifica owner from Joliet, Illinois, described his new Pacifica as:
"Comfortable, good fuel economy and can haul a lot of stuff."
The owner also reported owning a 2018 Pacifica with more than 100,000 miles and said it had experienced zero problems.
