2026 Chrysler Pacifica city and highway fuel-economy figures broken down by powertrain — plus what to expect if you’re looking at the gas-only minivan this model year:
🚙 2026 Chrysler Pacifica (Gas-Powered) – City/Highway MPG
-
City: 19 mpg
-
Highway: 28 mpg
-
Combined: ~22 mpg
These EPA-estimated ratings come from official specs for the standard Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) 3.6 L V6 Pacifica.
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) version (available on gas models):
-
City: ~17 mpg
-
Highway: ~25–26 mpg
-
Combined: ~20 mpg (estimated)
✔ These figures are typical for a V6-powered minivan — offering decent highway economy with competitive city mpg for family haulers.
⚡ Pacifica Hybrid (PHEV) — Note About 2026 Availability
For previous model years (2025 and earlier), the Pacifica plug-in hybrid offered:
-
Up to ~33 miles of electric-only range and
-
~29–30 mpg combined once running on gasoline.
However, Chrysler has announced it will discontinue the traditional Pacifica plug-in hybrid (PHEV) for the 2026 model year in the U.S. amid a strategic shift by parent company Stellantis, so this version may no longer be sold new in most markets.
📊 Quick Fuel Economy Summary — 2026 Pacifica
| Powertrain / Drivetrain | City MPG | Highway MPG | Combined MPG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gas V6 (FWD) | ~19 mpg | ~28 mpg | ~22 mpg |
| Gas V6 (AWD) | ~17 mpg | ~25–26 mpg | ~20 mpg |
| PHEV (prior years / limited 2026 units) | ~29–30 mpg (after EV range) | — | ~29–30 mpg |
🧠 What This Means
✅ FWD gas Pacifica offers solid highway efficiency for a large minivan (close to 30 mpg on highways).
✅ AWD adds traction but brings fuel economy down a bit, especially in city driving.
⚠ The plug-in hybrid version (with up to ~33 mi EV range) is being discontinued for 2026 in the U.S. — so most new Pacificas sold this year will be gas-powered.
If you’d like, I can also calculate approximate driving range per full tank for these city and highway mpg numbers based on Pacifica’s ~19-gallon fuel tank.
