Windsor-made Pacifica minivan wins prestigious award

The Windsor-made Chrysler Pacifica minivan is being recognized by one of Canada’s oldest and most respected automotive media outlets.

The Pacifica has been named the 2019 Minivan Best Buy by Le Guide de l'auto/The Car Guide.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) said the vehicles are chosen by one of the country’s largest and most respected editorial teams, based on votes in six categories, including fuel economy, reliability, safety, infotainment and driving experience.

“In an increasingly crowded marketplace, we’re extremely proud that Chrysler Pacifica and the segment-first Pacifica Hybrid continue to win consumer’s recognition and coveted awards like this one from Le Guide de l'auto,” said Reid Bigland, president and CEO of FCA Canada. “Made in Windsor, our minivans are built on over 35 years of segment leadership and innovation, and continue to fit the needs of Canadian families like few other vehicles can.”

FCA adds the made-in-Windsor Pacifica and Pacifica Hybrid have reinvented the minivan segment with an unprecedented level of functionality, versatility, technology and bold styling.

The automaker said the Pacifica and Pacifica Hybrid will see notable updates for 2019, including an S Appearance Package on the Hybrid model, featuring black accents inside and out for a customized, athletic look from the factory.

The awards are handed out annually.
