2026 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid (plug-in hybrid minivan) — city/highway fuel economy, electric range, and overall efficiency:

⚡ 2026 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid — Key Efficiency Figures

🔋 All-Electric Driving

Pure EV range: ~32 miles on a full charge before the gas engine starts.

This means for short commutes and errands you can drive without using any gasoline at all if you start with a full battery.

⛽ EPA Fuel Economy (Gas + Hybrid Mode)

Once the electric range is used up and the Pacifica operates as a hybrid:

City: ~29 mpg
Highway: ~30 mpg
Combined: ~30 mpg

This is significantly better than the non-hybrid Pacifica’s ~19/28 mpg estimates, thanks to electric assist.

🧠 How It Works

The Pacifica Hybrid pairs a 3.6 L V6 gasoline engine with an electric motor and a ~16 kWh battery for plug-in operation, producing around 260 hp.
It runs on battery first until that ~32-mile EV range is used, then switches to gasoline with hybrid efficiency.

Tip: If you charge frequently and mostly make short trips within the EV range, your actual gasoline use and monthly fuel cost will be much lower than the EPA ratings imply.

🔋 Electric vs. Hybrid Efficiency

Mode	Efficiency
Electric-only	up to ~32 miles range (0 gallons of gas)
After EV range	~29 mpg city / ~30 mpg highway
Total range (charge + tank)	Up to ~520 miles (with full battery + full gas tank)
EPA MPGe (hybrid efficiency)	~82 MPGe estimated

MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent) is an EPA measure showing how far the vehicle can travel electrically on energy equivalent to one gallon of gas — about 82 MPGe overall when both electric and hybrid portions are considered.

⚠️ Important Note

Although the 2026 Pacifica Hybrid was produced and early examples are at dealerships, Stellantis (Chrysler’s parent company) is discontinuing retail plug-in hybrid sales for the 2026 model year in the U.S., phasing out this version to focus on other electrified solutions.
That means new PHEV Pacifica units may be limited in supply and likely are among the last plug-in hybrid minivanssold in North America.

🚗 Summary — 2026 Pacifica Hybrid Efficiency

Electric-Only Range: ~32 miles
City MPG (after EV battery depleted): ~29 mpg
Highway MPG (after EV): ~30 mpg
Combined MPG Hybrid Mode: ~30 mpg
Total Driving Range: Up to ~520 miles with full EV + gas
