The Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is Excellent for a College Student – Yes, Really

Is your high school graduate headed off to college this summer or fall? If so, send them off knowing they are safe and happy with a new vehicle. The Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is brand new and is the perfect vehicle for a college student. Just because it is van doesn’t mean it has to be boring. Chrysler has already broken that stigma this year. Still not sure? Read on!

Chances are your college student is like many other millennials and values fuel efficient vehicles. The Pacifica Hybrid has a 3.6-liter V6 engine and nine-speed automatic transmission paired with dual electric motors and a 16 kilowatt-hour battery. This combination allows for a total range of up to 566 miles, fully electric range of 34 miles, and EPA estimated 84 MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent).

There is no question that your college student likes to have as much tech as possible in their vehicle. That is why the Chrysler Pacifica is loaded up with the latest tech. The van comes standard with plenty of entertainment technology, but also has plenty of additional options. The Pacifica comes standard with a six-speaker audio system, Bluetooth streaming, and a 5-inch touchscreen with the UConnect 5.0 system. In addition features like a 20-speaker system, UConnect 8.4 with the 8.4-inch touchscreen, HD radio, and SiriusXM radio are available upgrades.

Space is key for college students because they need a spacious vehicle for cargo and people! Moving is not easy, and college students tend to move a lot (from home to dorm, dorm to apartment, and so on). Therefore, the 140.5 cubic feet of cargo space in the Pacifica will come in handy. In addition, the minivan is available with seating for eight passengers, which means your son/daughter will be the driver of their friend group which they will love (and so will you!).
