The 2023 Chrysler Pacifica has received a TOP SAFETY PICK rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for 2023.
The Pacifica was ranked “Good” – the highest-possible rating – in IIHS tests that simulate three of the most common types of real-world crashes:
- Driver-side small overlap frontal impact
- Passenger-side small overlap frontal impact
- And moderate overlap frontal impact
Pacifica’s sturdy build, consisting of various steel grades such as Advanced High-strength and Ultra-high strength, contributed to the results.
“The Chrysler Pacifica is America’s most awarded minivan for 7 years running and 2023 Chrysler Pacifica stands alone among minivans with its 97 standard-equipment safety and security features and its renowned versatility,” said Chrysler brand CEO Chris Feuell. “The total package delivers the superior level of driving confidence consumers want and deserve.”
Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) is a safety feature that comes standard on the 2023 Chrysler Pacifica. It is an essential technology that qualifies the vehicle for an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK rating. The IIHS revised its rating system in 2020 to focus more on AEB and headlight function. The 2023 Pacifica comes with LED headlamps as standard equipment, along with daytime running lamps, fog lamps, and taillamps that use LED technology. LED lighting provides a balanced beam of light that also minimizes glare for oncoming traffic.
The Pacifica’s value proposition is further enhanced by its functionality. It is the only minivan in North America with second-row Stow ‘n Go seating, which provides fold-in-the-floor convenience. The vehicle is also available with all-wheel drive (AWD).
