Now that the 300 sedan is gone, Chrysler’s entire lineup consists of a single vehicle. OK, that’s not strictly true, as the core Pacifica minivan also serves as a basis for a plug-in hybrid version and the lower-cost Voyager. But Chrysler’s limited product offerings indicate trouble for the wayward American automaker—it needs something new, and soon. Nevertheless, some changes come to the van and its variants for 2025.

2025 Chrysler Pacifica: What’s New

For 2025, Select replaces Touring as the entry-level Pacifica trim, and the Touring L trim is discontinued. The dark-themed S Appearance package becomes standard on the midrange Limited trim. All Pacifica models gain an auto-dimming rearview mirror, one-touch up/down second-row window switches, a universal garage door opener, and upgraded carpeting.

2025 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid: What’s New

Like the standard Pacifica, the Pacifica Hybrid range is reduced to Select, Limited, and Pinnacle trims for 2025. For a darker aesthetic, the S Appearance package becomes standard on the Limited and optional on the Select. An optional Premium Group package for the Select trim combines the S Appearance package with additional driver assist features, rear-seat entertainment screens, a dual-pane sunroof, and upgraded center console with an integrated wireless charging pad.

New standard equipment on the Select trim and up includes an auto-dimming rearview mirror, second-row one-touch windows, a universal garage door opener, and upgraded carpets.

2025 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid: Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Plenty of all-electric driving range
  • Charges quickly on a Level 2 plug
  • Worthy alternative to a hybrid SUV

2025 Chrysler Voyager

2025 Chrysler Voyager: What’s New

For a spell, the Voyager was sold only to commercial fleets, but that changes for 2025—the low-cost version of the Pacifica is available to individual buyers again. The Voyager looks slightly different from the Pacifica, wearing the front and rear design the Pacifica did before its 2021 update, but is fundamentally the same vehicle, with the same platform and powertrain. Features distinguish the van twins, but the Voyager isn’t so light on content: It has a 10.1-inch touchscreen, three-zone automatic climate control, adaptive cruise control, rear parking sensors, and more within its seven-passenger cabin. At under $42,000 to start, the 2025 Voyager could be a good option for families seeking versatility on a budget.

2025 Chrysler Lineup: What’s Next?

Chrysler clearly isn’t the brand it once was. This storied American automaker seems to be on the ropes, fighting on with its single core vehicle as rival companies keep rolling out new product. Chrysler has shown a few interesting EV concepts in recent years, but we’re not seeing many indications those are getting closer to becoming production models. Instead, rumors are swirling about tumult at parent company Stellantis and how it might eliminate some brands to stay in business. Could Chrysler be on the chopping block? We’ll see.
