Windsor, Ontario – The all-new, made-in-Canada 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid electrifies the minivan segment, adding an innovative, advanced hybrid powertrain to the Pacifica’s no-compromises combination of functionality, versatility, technology and bold styling – all starting for less than $43,000 with available electric vehicle ‘Green-initiative’ purchase incentives.
Built at the award-winning Windsor Assembly Plant (WAP), the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is available as one exceptionally well-contented Platinum model, starting at $56,495 Canadian Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP), not including destination or the available provincial electric vehicle ‘Green-initiative’ incentives.
Thanks to its large, 16-kWh battery pack and its ability to transport seven people comfortably and efficiently, Pacifica Hybrid qualifies for the maximum $14,000 offered under the Ontario Electric Vehicle Incentive Program (EVIP). Therefore, Ontario customers can purchase the Pacifica Hybrid for as low as $42,495.
In Quebec and British Columbia – the other two Canadian provinces with similar electric vehicle purchase incentives – Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is available from $48,495 and $48,245, respectively.
The 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is the industry’s only hybrid-electric minivan, offering an innovative and advanced powertrain that delivers a seamless, efficient driving experience – plus an estimated electric range of up to 48 kilometres, up to 850 kilometres of total driving range and a fuel efficiency rating estimated to be as good as 2.9 litres equivalent per 100 kilometres (Le/100km) or 97 imperial miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe) in city driving.
Not only does the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid offer the segment’s only hybrid-electric powertrain, it also comes standard with many of the same features offered by the gasoline-powered Pacifica: the Uconnect® Theatre with 10-inch seatback touchscreens; Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist; 360-degree Surround View Camera; heated and ventilated front seats; rotary e-shifter; capless fuel filler; hands-free power sliding doors and liftgate; and KeySense programmable key fob. The only option on Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is the tri-pane panoramic sunroof.
In addition, the Pacifica Hybrid’s fully transferable warranty is among the industry’s best compared with other hybrid vehicles, offering:
- Bumper-to-bumper: 3 years/60,000 kilometres
- Powertrain: 5 years/100,000 kilometres
- Battery: Up to 10 years/160,000 kilometres
“The all-new Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid offers an estimated 2.9 Le/100km in the city, 48 kilometres of all-electric range, 850 kilometres of total driving range, plus many of the well-loved features that make the gasoline-powered Pacifica the most awarded minivan of the year,” said Reid Bigland, President and CEO, FCA Canada. “With a starting price of $42,495 in Ontario after the available Ontario Electric Vehicle Incentive Program, the Pacifica Hybrid provides efficiency, versatility, technology, an advanced hybrid powertrain and is priced in the heart of the segment – a combination that no other seven-passenger vehicle delivers.”
