THE BREAKDOWN
- Chrysler shared new images of the 2027 Pacifica facelift.
- It features a new design with sharper headlights and a two-piece grille.
- The Pacifica also wears the updated Chrysler logo on its nose.
We’ve been hearing whispers that Chrysler had an updated Pacifica on the horizon—well, here it is. The company posted official photos of the facelifted minivan to its Facebook page, showing the sharply updated front end, and not much else.
The updated Pacifica swaps its smooth headlights and oval grille for boomerang-shaped light fixtures with a waterfall design that extends to the center of the bumper. If we’re being honest, it looks a lot like Cadillac's design language for its EVs.
The subtle oval grille of the previous model is gone, and in its place is a two-piece grille design with a slimmer upper portion and a larger opening at the base of the grille. The body panels around the bumper get interesting embossed details as well.
Maybe the biggest update, though, is the new logo in the center of the grille. This is the first production Chrysler to wear the brand’s updated wing design, which debuted on the Halycon concept just a few years back. Here, the logo is illuminated to create a full-width light bar design.
Motor1's Take: The Pacifica was long overdue for an update. The design is… interesting, but at any rate, we’re glad Chrysler is keeping its minivan around at least for a few more years.
