The Chrysler Pacifica is the epitome of what families desire in a minivan. With flexible seating configurations and innovative features like Stow ‘n Go® seating and cutting-edge technology, including the Uconnect® infotainment system, people can have both convenience and peace of mind on the road.

Chrysler Pacifica Cost

The starting MSRP for a new Chrysler Pacifica is around $35,000, but the final price can vary significantly. The Pacifica comes in multiple trims, each offering different levels of features and amenities, which can affect the overall cost. For example, the base model, Pacifica Touring, provides essential features suitable for families on a budget, while higher-end models like the Pacifica Limited or Pinnacle come with luxury upgrades such as premium leather upholstery, advanced infotainment systems and enhanced safety features.

Insurance Costs

On average, the estimated annual insurance cost for a Pacifica ranges between $1,000 and $1,500. Over a five-year period, this translates to a total insurance expense of $5,000 to $7,500.

Fuel Costs

The Chrysler Pacifica, equipped with a V6 engine, offers respectable fuel efficiency for a minivan. The 2023 model has an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 19 MPG in the city and 28 MPG on the highway.

• Average Annual Mileage: 12,000 miles
• Average Fuel Price: $3.50 per gallon

Based on these figures, the annual fuel cost can be calculated as follows:

• Annual Fuel Consumption: 12,000 miles / 23.5 MPG (combined) = 511 gallons
• Annual Fuel Cost: 511 gallons * $3.50 per gallon = $1,788.50

Over five years, the total fuel cost would be approximately $8,942.50.

Maintenance and Repairs

The Chrysler Pacifica can be relatively expensive because of its advanced technology and premium parts. The Chrysler Pacifica offers a three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty.

• Average Annual Maintenance Cost: $900 – $1,200
• Average Annual Repair Cost: $400 – $600 (after the warranty period)

Assuming the warranty covers the first three years, the costs over a five-year period would be:

• First Three Years: $900 * 3 = $2,700 (maintenance only)
• Last Two Years: $900 (maintenance) + $500 (repairs) per year = $1,400 per year

Total maintenance and repair costs over five years would be approximately $4,500 to $5,500.

Depreciation

The estimated depreciation for the Chrysler Pacifica is50% over five years.

For a $40,000 Chrysler Pacifica, this results in:

• First Year Depreciation: $40,000 * 20% = $8,000
• Remaining Four Years: $32,000 * 50% = $16,000

Total depreciation over five years would be approximately $24,000.

Combining these expenses provides a comprehensive view of the total cost to own a Chrysler Pacifica over five years:

1. Initial Purchase Price: $40,000
2. Insurance: $5,000 – $7,500
3. Fuel: $8,942.50
4. Maintenance and Repairs: $4,500 – $5,500

6. Total Estimated Cost to Own (Low End): $40,000 + $5,000 + $8,942.50 + $4,500 + $24,000 = $82,442.50
7. Total Estimated Cost to Own (High End): $40,000 + $7,500 + $8,942.50 + $5,500 + $24,000 = $85,942.50
