Safety and Technology Features of the 2026 Chrysler Pacifica PHEV by Trim Level

Montréal families running school pickups, weekend highway trips to Quebec City, and daily stop-and-go on Autoroute 40 know that a minivan's value isn't just measured in seat count. The safety systems that protect your family and the technology that keeps everyone connected and entertained matter just as much as the floor plan. The 2026 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid is available in three trims — Select, Limited, and Pinnacle — each building on the last with more comfort, convenience, and technology. Here's how the safety and tech stack up across all three.

What Every 2026 Pacifica PHEV Trim Includes

Before diving into trim differences, the safety foundation is consistent across Select, Limited, and Pinnacle:

• Driver and passenger front-impact airbags
• Seat-mounted side-impact airbags for driver and passenger
• Overhead curtain airbags covering all three rows
• Airbag occupancy sensor and side-impact beams
• Traction control with ABS and driveline management
• Height-adjustable seatbelts front and rear, with front seatbelt pre-tensioners
• Electronic stability control
• LED low and high beam headlights
• LED daytime running lights with delay-off headlamps
• Remote keyless entry, panic alarm, and Sentry Key immobilizer
• Illuminated entry
• ParkSense rear parking sensors (Select and Limited); ParkSense with Stop front and rear (Pinnacle)
• Keyless Enter 'n Go with push-button start — all trims
• Automatic on/off headlights

The PHEV powertrain itself runs on a 3.6-litre V-6 paired with two electric motors and a 16 kWh battery (360V), with a 7 kW onboard charger. Level 2 charging at 240V takes approximately 2 hours for a full charge. All-electric range is rated at 51 km — enough to cover most daily Montréal-Est commutes and school runs without using a drop of fuel. Combined fuel economy in hybrid mode is rated at 8 L/100 km city and 7.9 L/100 km highway.

Select

The Select is the entry point for the 2026 Pacifica PHEV. All seven seating positions are available, and the full safety suite listed above is included. The Select features the Uconnect 5 infotainment system with AM/FM/SiriusXM satellite radio, wireless phone connectivity, and steering wheel audio controls. An auto-dimming rearview mirror, HomeLink wireless garage door control, front passenger armrest, and voltmeter round out the comfort additions.

Seat trim is leatherette throughout, with 8-way power adjustment for the driver and 4-way manual for the front passenger. Both front seats are heated. The floor console is partial, and floor mats are carpet front and rear.

If you want a well-equipped plug-in hybrid minivan with all the essential safety technology and without paying for luxury features you won't use daily, the Select delivers.

Limited

The Limited adds meaningful comfort and tech upgrades over the Select. Highlights include:

• Voice-activated dual-zone front air conditioning
• HD Radio with integrated navigation and voice activation
• Cooled front seats (driver and passenger) in addition to heating
• Illuminated front cupholders
• Door curb/courtesy lights
• Full-power front passenger seat (8-way, versus 4-way manual on Select)
• Remote-activated perimeter/approach lights with puddle lights
• Security alarm system

The seat trim upgrades remain leatherette, but the additional climate and navigation features make the Limited the most practical choice for families who spend substantial time in the van — long drives on the 20 toward Quebec City, or multi-stop weekends where in-cabin comfort matters on every leg.

Pinnacle

The Pinnacle is the top tier, built for families who want the full luxury minivan experience. It includes everything in the Limited, plus:

• SiriusXM 360L AM/FM/HD/Satellite radio
• Rear entertainment system with digital media capability
• Interior 120V AC power outlet
• Remote-activated perimeter/approach lights with puddle lights (2 door-mounted)
• Full floor console (versus partial on Select and Limited)
• Rubber floor mats with carpet inserts (front and rear)

The Pinnacle is purpose-built for families with longer road trips on their calendar — kids in the second and third rows with dedicated entertainment, adults in the front with navigation, climate control, and connectivity all handled.

Safety and Tech Feature Summary

Which Trim Makes Sense for Your Family?

The Select covers every safety essential and the full PHEV powertrain — if the features above the base level aren't priorities, it delivers the same 51 km electric range and identical protection for less.

The Limited is the strongest value step-up, adding cooled seats, navigation, and dual-zone climate control — features that make a tangible difference on longer trips or in the summer heat on the A-20.

The Pinnacle is for families who want the full package: rear entertainment, the 120V outlet for charging devices in the back, and the most refined trim level the Pacifica offers.

Come see the 2026 Pacifica PHEV lineup at Grenier Chrysler Montréal-Est. All three trims are available to walk through in person — compare the seating configurations, check the cargo floor with the Stow 'n Go seats down, and book a test drive to see what 51 km of electric range feels like on your actual commute.
