Buying Advice

From power-sliding doors and liftgate to auto headlamps, from heated front-row seats to an 8.4-inch touchscreen, the base Premium trim is brimmed with standard creature comforts. Hence, instead of aiming for an even more pricey upper Platinum trim, we recommend the Pacifica Premium Hybrid as your travel companion.
