- The 2027 Pacifica is a very mild facelift and is mostly the same as last year.
- The only obvious interior change is the fitment of a new steering wheel badge.
- Chrysler recently confirmed some Pacifica models are cheaper for the 2027MY.
Chrysler unveiled the 2027 Pacifica last week, showcasing the revised front-end, but not much else. As it turns out, this seems to have been an intentional move, as new photos shared to Carscoops show that the rest of the updated model is pretty much identical to the outgoing Pacifica.
One of our readers recently spotted an updated Pacifica in the Select configuration at what appears to be a holding yard. As with the photos released by Chrysler, significant changes have been made to the front end, including the fitment of new daytime running lights, headlights, a new grille, and an updated Chrysler wing badge.

Disappointingly, the rear appears to have remained unchanged, aside from the fitment of the new badge. As such, the taillights, including the light bar, as well as the bumper and tailgate, all look identical. So, while you may be able to recognize a 2027 Pacifica in your rear-view mirror, you definitely won’t notice the changes if one drives past you.
Stellantis appears to have been penny-pinching with the cabin of the 2027 Pacifica as well. As a matter of fact, there’s almost nothing to differentiate it from when the current generation model was unveiled a decade ago.

As such, the dashboard is identical, as is the lower control panel that houses the important climate controls and the intriguing rotary gear selector. The cheap, plastic air vents have been retained, and it doesn’t even look as though the infotainment display has grown in size. Even the steering wheel is the same, with the only visible tweak being the fitment of the new badge.
Chrysler has yet to say what will power the 2027 Pacifica, but it is expected to rely on the company’s 3.6-liter Pentastar V6.
If there’s a sliver of good news for buyers, it’s the fact that the prices of some trim levels have been cut for 2027. For example, the mid-range Limited FWD is $1,025 cheaper than last year, priced from $49,705, and the Pinnacle FWD is also now $1,680 more affordable, starting at $54,910. Prices have also been cut for the Limited AWD and Pinnacle AWD. Curiously, both the Select FWD and AWD have seen prices hiked by $100.
