2024 Chrysler Pacifica Cargo Space

When shopping for a minivan, one of the more common requirements is plenty of cargo space. After all, you might be using your minivan for weekend errands, long family road trips, or household projects. If you want a minivan with significant cargo space, consider the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica. Below, we explain how much cargo space you can find in the latest Pacifica, how this compares with other popular minivans and a few other reasons why you should consider making the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica your next minivan.

Cargo Space in the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica

Inside the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica, you’ll find ample cargo space with its seven-seat foldable design. There are 32 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats, which is more than enough for the average owner. However, if you need more space, you can fold down the passenger seats to expand the cargo area. Folding down the back row of seats gives you 88 cubic feet of space while folding down both rows gives you 141 cubic feet.

This ability to expand your cargo area at the expense of passenger seats gives you more versatility when it comes to using your Pacifica. You can decide on any given day whether you need more seats or more cargo space.

But what exactly do these numbers mean? It’s hard to picture 32 cubic feet of space without some sort of reference. One way to visualize this is by thinking about a suitcase. A typical medium-sized suitcase might have dimensions of 25 inches tall, 18 inches wide, and about 10 inches deep.

A suitcase of this size would take up around 2.6 cubic feet, meaning you could fit about 12 of them in the rear cargo area of the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica without stowing any seats. Testers at Car and Driver were able to fit 53 carry-on suitcases when stowing the second and third rows.

Cargo Space in Similar Vehicles

The 2024 Chrysler Pacifica offers a significant amount of cargo space, but how does it compare to other vehicles? When shopping for minivans, there are three primary competitors to the Chrysler Pacifica: the Kia Carnival, the Honda Odyssey, and the Toyota Sienna. For the 2024 Kia Carnival, there’s 40 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. However, the Kia Carnival doesn’t offer as much space when you fold down the passenger seats. This makes the Kia Carnival a little larger in the back but the Pacifica more spacious overall.

As for the Honda Odyssey, this minivan features 33 cubic feet of space in the rear. This puts it roughly on par with the Chrysler Pacifica. With the Honda Odyssey, you can also remove the second and third rows of seats; however, doing so requires a bit of work. These seats weigh about 68 pounds each, so you’ll need a little bit of muscle to get them out.

Lastly, the Toyota Sienna offers 34 cubic feet of space in the rear, which is slightly more than both the Chrysler Pacifica and the Honda Odyssey. The big difference with the Toyota Sienna is that you can’t remove the second row of seats. This limits the maximum cargo space available. However, if you opt for the captain’s chairs in the second row, you’ll at least be able to slide them forward for an extra 25 inches of space.

Other Benefits of the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica

Of course, the ample amount of cargo space isn’t the only benefit of getting the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica. Below are a few other areas in which the Pacifica excels:

Performance

With the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica, you have the option of getting either a gas-powered engine or a hybrid version of the minivan. The gas version uses a 3.6L V-6 engine that produces 287 horsepower and combines with a nine-speed automatic transmission for snappy performance. The hybrid version, on the other hand, uses two electric motors and a 16.0 kWh battery to produce 260 horsepower. In either case, your Pacifica will have no trouble keeping up with the cars around it, despite its larger size.

Fuel Economy

According to the EPA, the Pacifica should get around 19 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. This makes it very fuel-efficient for a minivan and will help you save money at the gas station. When you choose the hybrid version, you should get around 84 mpg, with the ability to travel up to 33 miles on just electric power.

Comfort and Entertainment

Inside the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica, you can expect a spacious and comfortable cabin. All the materials are comfortable and durable, making this model perfect for families on the go. There’s also an infotainment system inside the Pacifica, through which you can easily control various vehicle settings and your preferred media source. This touch-screen infotainment system becomes even more functional when you make use of the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integrations. Other interior features include a Wi-Fi hotspot, an optional rear-seat entertainment system, and plenty of storage cubbies and cupholders.

Safety Features

Lastly, the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica comes packed with many of the latest safety innovations. Some of the standard features include automated emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning. With the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica, you can drive with peace of mind knowing your Pacifica has a wealth of driver-assistance features available, helping to keep you and your family safe at all times.
