Midsize in dimensions, Pacifica was among the new breed of crossover four-door wagons that aimed to blend traits of cars, sport-utility vehicles, and minivans. To that end, it offered three rows of seats for six-passenger capacity, a suspension designed to provide carlike road manners, and either front-drive or available all-wheel drive. Rivals include the Ford Freestyle, Honda Pilot, and Toyota Highlander. Taller than a car, Pacifica stood lower than most SUVs. Built with an exceptionally wide body, it was nearly as long as Chrysler's Town & Country minivan. The sole powertrain was a 250-horsepower 3.5-liter V6, driving a four-speed automatic transmission that incorporated a manual shift gate. Pacificas could have front-wheel drive with optional traction control, or all-wheel drive that lacked low-range gearing. Antilock four-wheel disc brakes, 17-inch wheels, and a load-leveling rear suspension were standard. Seating consisted of buckets in the first and second rows, and a third row split bench. Second- and third-row seats folded but did not remove. A driver's knee airbag was standard. Head-protecting side curtain airbags that covered all three rows, power-adjustable pedals, and a tire-pressure monitor were standard on AWD models, and optional with front-drive. Additional options included leather upholstery, heated first- and second-row seats, a sunroof, power liftgate, navigation and DVD entertainment systems, and satellite radio.
