Chrysler Teases Pacifica Facelift With New Light Bar and Vertical Headlamps

The preview arrives after Stellantis ended U.S. plug‑in hybrids, leaving the minivan’s powertrain direction uncertain.

Overview

  • Official social-media images show a dramatically revised front fascia with vertically oriented headlights, a full-width light bar, and an illuminated Chrysler badge.
  • The silhouette and rear quarter appear unchanged, signaling a refresh rather than a full redesign, with the Pinnacle trim name visible in the teasers.
  • No charging port is visible in the images, consistent with Stellantis having dropped the Pacifica e‑Hybrid and other U.S. PHEVs earlier this year.
  • Reporters expect this updated look to arrive for the 2027 model year or later, since the 2026 Pacifica has already been shown.
  • Engine and interior details remain unannounced, with coverage suggesting a possible carryover 3.6‑liter Pentastar V6 and speculating about a Hurricane 2.0‑liter turbo and a larger Uconnect screen.
