Room for Everything: How the 2025 Chrysler Pacifica AWD Conquers the Family Trip to the Cottage

Room for Everything: How the 2025 Chrysler Pacifica AWD Conquers the Family Trip to the Cottage

Planning the trip to cottage country means one thing: packing everything the family needs for a weekend escape. The 2025 Chrysler Pacifica AWD turns that packing challenge into a simple task, thanks to its class-exclusive Stow 'n Go seating system and available all-wheel drive capability. For families in Ontario who know the 400 highway well, this minivan handles both the cargo demands and the weather conditions that come with cottage season.

The Pacifica's interior transforms to match your family's needs. With Stow 'n Go seating, the second and third rows fold completely into the floor, creating a massive cargo area that rivals many full-size SUVs. Add the available AWD system for those unpredictable Ontario weather conditions, and you have a vehicle that adapts to both your storage needs and driving challenges.

The Stow 'n Go seating system sets the Pacifica apart from other family vehicles.

Performance and All-Wheel Drive Capability


The 3.6-litre Pentastar V-6 engine produces 287 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, providing smooth acceleration for highway driving and passing. The available all-wheel drive system engages automatically when needed, transferring power to wheels with better traction.
