Close 2025 Chrysler Pacifica Buyer’s Guide
The Chrysler Pacifica has built its reputation as the minivan that doesn’t feel like a minivan. For 2025, it continues to stand out with bold styling, smart storage solutions, and technology that makes family life easier whether you’re shuttling kids to school in Aurora or loading up for a weekend in the Wisconsin Dells.
If towing is on your list, stick with the gas-powered Pacifica models — the Hybrid trims focus on efficiency and do not offer towing capability. Another important difference: only the gas-powered Pacifica trims offer available all-wheel drive. The Hybrid lineup is front-wheel drive only.
Pacifica trims fall into two groups: gas-powered and plug-in hybrid. Both give you flexible seating, safety tech that inspires confidence, and features designed for real family use. Let’s take a closer look.

2025 Chrysler Pacifica FAQs
Which Pacifica trims offer AWD and towing near Aurora?
All-wheel drive is listed as available on the gas models (Select, Limited, and Pinnacle). The Trailer Tow Group is listed for the gas Limited and gas Pinnacle. The brochure’s Hybrid pages do not list AWD or a tow package. If you want AWD or factory towing, focus on the gas trims.
How do seating and cargo systems differ between gas and Hybrid models?
Gas models include 2nd-row Stow ’n Go buckets with in-floor storage plus a 3rd-row Stow ’n Go 60/40 split bench. Hybrid models are built with Easy-Slide 2nd-row captain’s chairs and a 3rd-row Stow ’n Go 60/40 bench. If you fold the floor often for cargo, the gas setup offers the classic Stow ’n Go experience in both rows.
Is the rear-seat entertainment package worth it for road trips?
The Uconnect Theater packages add Amazon Fire TV built-in with dual 10-inch seatback screens, HDMI input, video USB, and a remote. On upper trims you can pair it with premium audio (Alpine 13-speaker on Limited; Harman Kardon systems on Pinnacle). Families who log highway miles love the built-in streaming and device inputs.
What driver-assistance features come standard?
The brochure lists a robust safety suite across the lineup, including Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Path detection, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus, LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist, ParkSense Rear Park Assist with Full Stop, Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking, and the ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera.

Testimonials
I can’t say enough good about the service.
We just purchased our 7th vehicle from them.
“ I’ve been buying vehicles from River Front Chrysler, Jeep & Dodge since 2017, and over the holiday weekend we just purchased our 7th vehicle from them. That alone says a lot about the trust and confidence we have in this dealership. Since day one, John Provenzano has taken care of my family’s vehicle needs and has always gone above and beyond. He is personable, accountable, and truly listens to what we need rather than trying to push us into something that doesn’t fit. He takes the time to make the process easy, stress-free, and personal. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about finding the right vehicle for you and your family, I highly recommend asking for John. We’ll definitely continue coming back! ”
They made the whole experience smooth and simple.
“ We recently got our ProMaster from River Front Ram Truck Center, and I have to say Miles was the best to work with. He was very transparent, straightforward, and made the whole process feel easy. It wasn’t just Miles either — everyone at the dealership was honest, helpful, and really cared about making sure we got what we wanted. Buying a van can usually feel stressful, but they made the whole ProMaster buying experience smooth and simple. This is honestly the best van we’ve ever had, and I really appreciate Miles for helping us through everything and making sure we were taken care of. Thank you, Miles! ”
They have always been the dealer of choice.
“ I went to dealership for service recall not expecting to buy a new car. I found a new car while browsing the inventory which matched my desires and needs unexpectedly. They were gracious enough to allow me to take the car home and show it to my wife. Then they made the purchase of same easier than one might expect. They have always been the dealer of choice in my three previous purchases for care and service. I would (and have) recommend this dealership to anyone seeking a new vehicle. ”

They made it hassle-free.
“ Recently purchased a used Ram at this dealership. Miles and Trish went above and beyond in terms of communication, ensuring the vehicle was checked out and prepped properly, and even followed up continuously after the sale on a few paint touch-ups. First time I actually enjoyed purchasing a vehicle. They made it hassle-free. Would definitely consider coming back in the future. ”
Highly recommend!
“ Purchased a new 2025 Jeep Wrangler today. I found River Front online and I worked primarily with Jim S who was great to work with. Communication was great and the buying process was efficient. There was ZERO pressure to buy all those "extras" most dealers push. I felt like the pricing was fair, I was treated respectfully and I would definately go back for my next Jeep! Overall a great buying experience - highly recommend! ”
