WORSE BETTERChrysler Pacifica
The Pacifica minivan is offered in seven- or eight-passenger configu-
rations, and it retains the handy fold-into-the-f loor second-row seats.
But these seats have limited thigh support. The 3.6-liter V6 engine,
paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission, provides plenty of
power and gets a decent 21 mpg overall. Handling is responsive, the
ride is comfortable, and the cabin is quiet. A plug-in hybrid version is
available with an electric range of about 30 miles before it reverts to
hybrid operation and gets 27 mpg. The latest version of the Uconnect
touch-screen system is intuitive and easy to master. High-end ver-
sions of the Pacifica feature individual screens with built-in games
for the rear passengers.Overall Score 60-62

01Chrysler 300
Chrysler’s roomy and luxurious 300 is one of the best large sedans
on the market. Inside, buyers will find plenty of space for five adults,
along with comfortable seats and attractive trim. The 5.7-liter V8
is punchy but thirsty. We prefer the 3.6-liter V6, which is plenty
powerful and got a good 22 mpg overall in our tests. Both engines
use a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is
optional. The 300’s stately ride, responsive handling, and quiet cabin
make it feel like a true luxury car at thousands less than what luxury
brands charge. The Uconnect infotainment system is easy to use. The
last freshening added a rotating gear selector knob, and a big infor-
mation screen in the gauge cluster. Forward collision warning and
automatic emergency braking are optional.Overall Score 67
