Will there be a 2025 Chrysler Pacifica?
Yes! For 2025, the Chrysler Pacifica lineup is streamlined to just three trims: Select, Limited, and Pinnacle. The S Appearance package, which includes dark exterior trim, unique badges, and black upholstery with gray stitching, is now standard on the Limited trim and available as an option on the Select.
The Select trim also offers a Premium Group package that bundles the S Appearance package with the Safety Sphere and Uconnect Theater and Sound groups, while also adding a dual-pane sunroof and an upgraded center console with a wireless charging pad.
Additionally, features like an auto-dimming rearview mirror, second-row one-touch windows, a universal garage door opener, and upgraded carpeting are now standard on the Select and higher trims.
Does the 2025 Chrysler Pacifica get 82 MPG?
Depending on the selected trim, YES! The 2025 Pacifica Hybrid delivers an EPA-estimated 82 MPGe in combined city/highway driving when operating in electric/hybrid mode, and 30 mpg combined in gas/hybrid mode.
It offers an electric-only driving range of 32 miles and a total range of up to 520 miles. Charging the 16-kWh battery takes approximately 14 hours using a standard 120-volt household outlet, but with a 240-volt outlet or Level 2 charging station, a full charge can be completed in about 2 hours thanks to the onboard 6.6-kW charger. More information is available on the EPA’s website.
Is Honda Changing the Odyssey in 2025?
There’s a lot new for 2025. The front and rear styling gets a noticeable refresh with a redesigned grille, larger blacked-out fog lamp surrounds, and a new rear bumper. Honda and Acura fans may spot a nod to the retired Acura NSX in the form of vertical rear bumper reflectors.
Every trim level gets updated wheel designs, including 19-inch wheels for the top-tier Elite model. Two new paint options—Solar Silver Metallic and Smoke Blue Pearl- join the color palette. Inside, tech upgrades include a standard 7-inch digital instrument cluster, a 9-inch infotainment touchscreen, and an available 12.8-inch screen for rear-seat entertainment.
For 2025, Honda has dropped the base EX trim from the Odyssey lineup, narrowing the range from five trims to four. The EX-L has long been our top pick for value, offering family essentials like heated leather seats, wireless charging, and a power liftgate without venturing into luxury-overload territory.
Those looking to add some flair to their family hauler can opt for the Sport-L trim, an even sportier evolution of the previous Sport, which leans into the dark aesthetic with black 19-inch wheels and glossy black accents on the grille, headlights, mirrors, taillights, and more.
Is the 2025 Chrysler Pacifica Better than the 2025 Honda Odyssey?
The Pacifica stands far ahead of the Odyssey for its unmatched versatility, with its new tweaks being focused on ensuring it can stand on its own two feet against any contenders vying for its spot as one of the best SUVs in the class, making for an easy choice in this head-to-head comparison.
