The 2024 Chrysler Pacifica gets 19 city / 28 highway MPG (gasoline model) and 30 city / 82 MPGe (hybrid model).

The Chrysler Pacifica's fuel efficiency varies by drivetrain. The standard gasoline V6 engine delivers 19 MPG in cities and 28 MPG on highways. The hybrid version achieves 30 MPG city/highway combined and 82 MPGe (electric + gas equivalent) when fully charged. Real-world mileage depends on driving habits, load, and terrain.

Fuel Efficiency by Model

  • Gasoline (FWD): 19 city / 28 highway / 22 combined MPG
  • Gasoline (AWD): 17 city / 25 highway / 20 combined MPG
  • Hybrid (FWD): 30 city/highway MPG (gas-only), 82 MPGe (electric + gas)
  • Hybrid Electric-Only Range: ~32 miles per charge

Factors Affecting MPG

  • Driving Style: Aggressive acceleration/braking reduces efficiency by up to 30%.
  • Load Weight: Each 100 lbs reduces MPG by ~1-2%.
  • Terrain: Hilly areas or towing cuts highway MPG by 10-20%.
  • Maintenance: Underinflated tires or old air filters lower MPG by 5-10%.
  • Climate: Extreme cold reduces hybrid battery efficiency by 20-30%.

MPG Comparison: Pacifica vs. Competitors

Model Type City MPG Highway MPG Combined MPG Electric Range (if hybrid)
Pacifica (Gas FWD) 19 28 22 N/A
Pacifica (Gas AWD) 17 25 20 N/A
Pacifica Hybrid (FWD) 30 30 30 (gas) / 82 MPGe 32 miles
Competitor A (Gas FWD) 20 27 22 N/A
Competitor B (Hybrid) 36 34 35 (gas) / 75 MPGe 26 miles

Tips to Improve Pacifica's MPG

  1. Use Cruise Control: Maintains steady speeds for better highway efficiency.
  2. Limit Idling: Turn off the engine if stopped for >30 seconds (except hybrid in EV mode).
  3. Optimize Hybrid Charging: Charge overnight for maximum electric-only range.
  4. Remove Roof Racks: Reduces aerodynamic drag by up to 10%.
  5. Use Recommended Fuel: 87 octane is sufficient; higher grades don't improve MPG.
  6. Service Regularly: Replace spark plugs and air filters every 30,000-60,000 miles.

Real-World MPG Reports

  • Gas Model: Owners report 17-20 city / 24-27 highway in mixed driving.
  • Hybrid Model: Average 25-28 MPG in gas-only mode; 60-75 MPGe with frequent charging.
  • Winter Impact: Hybrid MPGe drops to 40-50 in sub-freezing temperatures.
