February 10, 2017 , Auburn Hills, Mich.
- The all-new Chrysler Pacifica, the most awarded minivan of 2016 and 2017, is MotorWeek's 2017 Drivers' Choice Award 'Best Minivan.' 'There's a lot to love about the 2017 Pacifica - Chrysler's new-generation 'family mover,'' said John Davis, creator and host of MotorWeek, television's original automotive magazine. 'The ride and handling are much improved, the cabin is a lot quieter and the seats more comfortable. Even the operation of their exclusive Stow 'n Go seating has been made easier. Then there is technology candy from the 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen, the Uconnect Theater for rear occupants, and a host of state-of-the-art safety and convenience features, including surround view cameras, parking assistance and automatic emergency braking. Plus, let's not forget the new built-in vacuum - well, it's a veritable plethora of great reasons to own, drive and feel secure in this new-age Pacifica.' Known as one of the auto industry's most coveted honors, the MotorWeek Drivers' Choice Awards were announced at the largest consumer-driven auto show in North America, the 2017 Chicago Auto Show. In selecting the annual Drivers' Choice Awards, the MotorWeek editorial staff evaluates more than 150 cars, trucks and sport utility vehicles every year. Winners are chosen based on driving performance, technology, practicality, fuel efficiency and value for the dollar. All Drivers' Choice Award winners are featured on MotorWeek.org and will be appearing on a special episode (#3623) of MotorWeek airing on public television stations beginning February 11, 2017, and on cable's Velocity beginning February 10, 2017.
