Chrysler is engaged on a completely electrical model of the Chrysler Pacifica minivan, based on Inexperienced Automobile Reviews. The EV model reportedly would “probably” come a 12 months after the corporate debuts a Pacifica design refresh that options components of the Halcyon idea that Stellantis confirmed off earlier this 12 months.
In the intervening time, the Pacifica lineup consists of a regular gas-powered minivan and a plug-in hybrid with an estimated 32-mile electric-only driving vary earlier than it switches over to gasoline. Chrysler CEO Christine Feuell, who confirmed the plans to Inexperienced Automobile Reviews through the LA Auto Present on Thursday, wouldn’t say whether or not the corporate will hold the plug-in hybrid alongside the all-electric mannequin.
Chrysler will reportedly must rejigger the Pacifica’s “Stow ‘N Go” seating system, which lets homeowners fold seats right down to make a flat loading ground, to accommodate Stellantis’ BEV powertrain. Feuell instructed the outlet that one answer it’s contemplating would contain storing the second-row seats beneath the entrance seats. One other thought reportedly entails placing second-row outboard seats on rails that allow them slide sideways.
