2026 Chrysler Pacifica: What’s New, Trims, Specs & Features
The 2026 Chrysler Pacifica pairs a 287-hp 3.6L Pentastar V6 with a 9-speed automatic and up to 140.5 cu ft of cargo space. Starting MSRP is $44,445 for the Select FWD, with AWD joining the Select and Pinnacle trims for buyers who need winter traction without stepping into a truck or SUV. This page covers every trim, spec, and tech feature, with new inventory available at Fillback locations in Richland Center, Boscobel, and Prairie du Chien.
What’s New for 2026
The headlining change for 2026 is broader AWD availability. All-wheel drive is now offered on both the Select and Pinnacle trims, making it a realistic choice for drivers in Richland Center, Boscobel, and Prairie du Chien who navigate wet roads and Wisconsin winters without stepping into a truck or SUV.
The 10.1-inch Uconnect touchscreen carries over as a standard feature, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included across the lineup. The available Uconnect Theater rear entertainment system now supports Amazon Fire TV on the rear 10.1-inch seatback touchscreens, a meaningful upgrade for families on longer drives. The 360-degree camera system comes standard on Pinnacle, removing it as an additional option at that grade.
The Stow ‘n Vac built-in vacuum, powered by RIDGID, remains one of the Pacifica’s most practical calling cards and is still available for 2026. The Harman Kardon 19-speaker audio system is available on the gas Pinnacle, making it a credible option for buyers who want a premium listening environment without moving to a different vehicle class.
Trim Lineup
The 2026 Pacifica is offered in 3 trims, each with a distinct feature set.
Select
Select covers the full suite of standard safety tech, the 10.1-inch Uconnect 5 screen, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM AM/FM satellite radio, and seating for seven. The Select rides on 17-inch machined aluminum wheels with painted accents and P235/65R17 all-season tires. Interior seating is leatherette, and the audio system runs through 6 speakers. The driver’s seat is power-adjustable in 8 directions with power lumbar; the front passenger seat is manual. There is no sunroof on the Select, and parking sensors cover the rear only via ParkSense with Stop.
Limited
Limited moves into a higher comfort tier. It adds 18-inch aluminum wheels with self-sealing P245/60R18 all-season tires, Nappa leather seating, a 13-speaker SiriusXM 360L audio system, ventilated front seats for both driver and passenger, heated second-row seats, an available panoramic sunroof spanning the first and second rows, integrated navigation with voice activation, and Siri Eyes Free voice activation. The front passenger seat gains power adjustment in 8 directions and a power recline, matching the driver seat’s configuration. The Limited retains ParkSense rear parking sensors.
Pinnacle
Pinnacle is the full-feature grade in front-wheel drive. It upgrades to 20-inch polished aluminum wheels with self-sealing P245/50R20 all-season tires, leather seating with a simulated suede headliner, and the Harman Kardon 19-speaker audio system. The rear entertainment system includes Blu-ray and digital media capability with 2 second-row LCD monitors. Park Assist expands to both front and rear on Pinnacle. The 360-degree camera system is standard at this grade. The driver’s side mirror gains auto-dimming. A front center armrest is included in place of individual front armrests.
Performance & Powertrain
Every 2026 Pacifica is powered by the 3.6L Pentastar V6, producing 287 hp at 6,400 RPM and 262 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 RPM, routed through a 9-speed automatic transmission. FWD is standard; AWD is available on Select and Pinnacle grades.
Fuel economy rates at 19 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined on the FWD models. The engine runs on regular 87-octane unleaded, which keeps fueling costs straightforward on road trips from Richland Center to anywhere the family is headed.
Towing capacity reaches 3,600 lbs, enough for a small boat, a jet ski trailer, or a loaded cargo trailer for a camping weekend. The front suspension uses a strut setup, the rear uses a trailing arm, and all models use 4-wheel disc brakes with electric power-assist rack-and-pinion steering.
Interior, Comfort & Cargo
The Pacifica seats seven passengers in a three-row layout, with captain’s chairs in the second row and a 60/40 split-bench in the third row. Behind the third row, cargo space measures 32.3 cu ft, which is usable space even with all rows occupied. Fold the second row and that figure grows to 87.5 cu ft. Maximum cargo capacity with both rows down reaches 140.5 cu ft, a number that rivals most SUVs on the market.
Seat materials step up through the trim grades. Select uses leatherette throughout. Limited uses Nappa leather. Pinnacle uses leather with a simulated suede headliner, a notable difference in cabin feel. All trims include carpet floor mats front and rear with a cloth headliner on Select and Limited.
The Stow ‘n Go second-row seats fold flat into the floor, eliminating the need to remove and store heavy seat panels. The available Stow ‘n Vac built-in vacuum, powered by RIDGID, is mounted inside the vehicle and reachable without tools, which matters when cleaning up after a youth sports carpool.
The available dual-pane panoramic sunroof, offered on Limited and Pinnacle, opens the cabin noticeably and spans the first and second rows with an express open/close power mechanism.
Technology & Infotainment
The standard 10.1-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen is responsive and clearly laid out, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto so phones connect without cables. Bluetooth audio, AM/FM radio, and SiriusXM satellite radio are all standard. The Select uses the base SiriusXM AM/FM/Satellite package with 6 speakers. Limited and Pinnacle upgrade to SiriusXM 360L with HD radio and 13 or 19 speakers respectively.
Integrated navigation with voice activation is available on the Limited and standard on Pinnacle. Siri Eyes Free voice activation is also available beginning with the Limited.
The available Uconnect Theater rear entertainment system brings 10.1-inch seatback touchscreens for second-row passengers, now running Amazon Fire TV for 2026. Passengers can stream content independently of the front display. On Pinnacle, the rear system supports Blu-ray and digital media playback through 2 second-row LCD monitors.
The Harman Kardon 19-speaker audio system is standard on Pinnacle. The available 360-degree camera system is standard on Pinnacle, giving a bird’s-eye view of the vehicle’s surroundings when maneuvering in tight parking areas.
Safety & Driver Assistance
Every 2026 Pacifica ships with a complete set of active safety systems as standard equipment:
- Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking
- Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go
- LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist
- Blind Spot Monitoring System
- ParkSense Rear Park Assist System with Automatic Braking
- Rear Cross Path Detection
These systems work together to reduce driver fatigue on highway runs and to provide active intervention in stop-and-go traffic. Adaptive Cruise with Stop and Go is particularly practical for the Interstate 90 corridor and Highway 14 runs that many families in this region make regularly.
Pinnacle upgrades the parking sensor system to Park Assist front and rear, replacing the rear-only ParkSense setup on Select and Limited. The 360-degree camera system, standard on Pinnacle, supplements that system with a full visual reference point around the vehicle.
Who It’s For / vs. the Prior Year
The 2026 Pacifica is the better choice over the 2025 model primarily because of expanded AWD availability. Wisconsin buyers who previously had to choose between traction and their preferred trim grade now have a path to both. AWD on Select gives entry-level buyers a capable winter option. AWD on Pinnacle gives buyers who want the full feature set a reason not to compromise.
Buyers who do not need AWD and are comparing 2025 and 2026 models will find the powertrain, dimensions, and core feature set are consistent between years. The 2026 adds Amazon Fire TV to the Uconnect Theater system and standardizes the 360-degree camera on Pinnacle, two changes that have real daily value.
If you are hauling a large family across southwest Wisconsin and need cargo flexibility, towing ability, and tech that keeps everyone occupied, the 2026 Pacifica is a direct answer to those needs. Buyers who want a three-row vehicle but find SUVs impractical for regular carpooling or longer road trips will find the Pacifica’s Stow ‘n Go seating and interior volume hard to match.
