Reception
The Pacifica was the offset jointly engineered production of the 1998 Chrysler-DaimlerBenz "merger of equals." Chrysler developed the vehicle inwards thirty months at a cost below $1 billion. Parent DaimlerChrysler's other entry inwards the luxury SUV marketplace , the M-Class (badged every bit the ML) appeared to live a rushed technology scientific discipline project from the Mercedes-Benz truck segmentation yet it was a cracking success , leading to the second-generation M-Class that used a crossover instead of a low-cal truck platform.
DaimlerChrysler heavily touted the Pacifica every bit the side past times side "big thing" inwards the fledgling crossover marketplace , forecasting sales of 100 ,000 per year. These estimations proved to live wildly optimistic , every bit sales never came only about expectations. There was strong contest from other luxury crossovers similar the Lexus RX together with BMW X5; the RX was the book leader together with widely considered the benchmark for the class. Despite the Mercedes-like interior together with other Mercedes-derived technologies , all the same , the Pacifica may convey been overpriced for its marque , every bit full general populace perception did non catch Chrysler a luxury get similar BMW , Lexus , together with Mercedes-Benz. Indeed , DaimlerChrysler was reluctant to heavily promote the fact that the Pacifica (as good every bit several other jointly-engineered vehicles such every bit the Crossfire together with 300) featured technologies from its Mercedes segmentation due to fright of cannibalization , every bit Benz vehicles had much higher prices together with profits than their Chrysler equivalents. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 three-year , multimillion-dollar contract was signed with vocalist Celine Dion inwards 2003 , with advertisements designed to reposition Chrysler every bit a premium marque. However , the promotional motion was widely considered a flop together with then DaimlerChrysler ended it only i twelvemonth later. Ending upward , all the same , DaimlerChrysler lost coin on every Pacifica sold , every bit it used a modified minivan platform , but it didn’t convey whatever interior commonality with other Chrysler , Dodge or Jeep vehicles.
Positioned every bit a large crossover , the Pacifica was designed to combine the convenience of a minivan , the elevated topographic point of an SUV , together with the treatment of a sedan , every bit the minivan's popularity was beingness eclipsed past times the SUV which inwards plough lost favor due to high gas prices. Compared to traditional (light-truck based) luxury sport utility vehicles such every bit the Lincoln Navigator , the Pacifica had less heavy cargo-hauling together with towing capacity but otherwise it was superior inwards treatment , comfort , interior , together with amenities. Crossovers with three-row seating tend to live inferior to minivans inwards rider room; the Pacifica was no exception every bit its third-row seats were considered also modest compared to that of the Chrysler Town & Country which was less expensive together with to a greater extent than fuel-efficient. However other luxury automakers convey no minivans inwards most of their lineups which avoids cannibalization of the sales of their large crossovers , then it didn't assist that the Pacifica inevitably drew comparisons to the Town & Country. Furthermore , DaimlerChrysler was unable to convince the populace that the Pacifica was a pioneer of novel category of vehicle , every bit consumers preferred to a greater extent than traditional SUV-style crossovers , together with they faced the same occupation with the expose of the 2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class inwards 2005. Like the Pacifica the R-Class is supposed to percentage the attributes of the minivan , SUV , together with a carriage , together with despite the R-Class beingness to a greater extent than upscale together with sophisticated (based on a rear-wheel drive platform) with a amend executed launch (while the Pacifica was plagued with production together with marketing flaws) , it has sold poorly compared to the GLK together with M-Classes.
The Pacifica was widely praised for its carlike ride together with treatment , every bit its sophisticated interruption soaked upward the bumps good , piece the steering was fairly crisp together with linear. However the 2004-06 model years of the Pacifica were fuel thirsty together with vastly underpowered considering its hefty weight , with its weak 250 hp 3.5-liter V6 together with aging four-speed automatic transmission , which gave pathetic performance considering the toll of this vehicle. This was exclusively rectified inwards 2007 with a novel V6 engine together with a novel six-speed automatic which was nonetheless also belatedly to salve sales. Throughout its lifetime at that topographic point were few engine options , yet despite customer requests at that topographic point was never an available Hemi or SRT version similar the 2005 Chrysler 300.
Reliability
The initial production models of the Pacifica gave the nameplate a bad reputation , due to pathetic mechanical reliability of the transmission together with engine , liner together with interior flaws , electrical glitches , together with depression get quality. Furthermore , Chrysler was irksome to react inwards fixing these problems.
Consumer Reports magazine rated the Chrysler Pacifica every bit "much worse than average" inwards terms of reliability. Consumer Reports also rated the Chrysler Pacifica with an extremely depression consumer satisfaction of 48/100 , i of the lowest ratings inwards the magazine's database for the consumer satisfaction survey. The Pacifica's closest competitors inwards the 3-row crossover segment , such every bit the Buick Rendezvous , received "average" together with "much amend than average" ratings , respectively.
