The 2017 Chrysler Pacifica has earned huge plaudits since its debut this summer, and here comes another one: this groundbreaking vehicle is the first minivan to receive a Top Safety Pick + award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). This is outstanding news for families considering a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica near Evanston, IL, and it’s yet another feather in the cap of a minivan that is truly one-of-a-kind.
The IIHS’ Top Safety Pick + designation isn’t earned easily. A vehicle must earn not only a “Good” rating in all five of the Institute’s stringent crash tests, but also a top rating for frontal crash protection technology. So whereas competitors like the Honda Odyssey and Kia Sedona fell short of the mark, the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica model’s superb frontal crash protection system, bolstered by automatic braking, was more than enough to earn the IIHS’ loftiest praise.
A fantastic frontal crash protection system isn’t the only advanced safety technology possessed by the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica. In fact, there are several, including blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, park assist, adaptive cruise control, advance brake assist, and forward collision warning-plus. These features are standard or optional depending on which of the five 2017 Chrysler Pacifica trims you select, and they complement a wide range of standard safety features that includes a rearview camera, a comprehensive airbag system, traction and stability control, and a next-gen antilock brake system that not only tightens the brake pads to the rotors when the gas pedal is abruptly released, but also dries the brake rotors in wet road conditions.
We invite you to test drive a superlative 2017 Chrysler Pacifica at Fields Chrysler Jeep® Dodge RAM Glenview, where you’ll find the exact vehicle you’re seeking, be it a new Chrysler sedan or a used Jeep SUV near Chicago, IL.
