Chrysler’s minivans have always been near the top of their class. For 2020, there are two exciting minivan options for you to choose from. The 2020 Pacifica and the 2020 Voyager. While they’re
both similar, there are some differences you need to consider. Before you take a test drive, check out everything you need to know about the Pacifica and Voyager.
Available Trim Levels
There are different trims available for each of the two minivans. The 2020 Voyager only features two different trims, the L and the LX. The Pacifica has the Touring, Touring L, the Touring L Plus, and the Limited for a total of four.
There are benefits to each of these scenarios. The Voyager has fewer feature gaps between trim levels, so the base trim will have more features on the base model, and one step up the ladder will get you all available standard features. The Pacifica’s trim levels vary, however, you can buy a trim level for the features you want specifically rather than be lumped into one large group.
Engine Specifications
Both minivans are equipped with the same engine for their 2020 release. The engine features on these minivans is a 3.6-liter with variable valve timing. It has an output of 287 horsepower and a torque rating of 262 pound-feet. It takes advantage of a 9-speed automatic transmission with overdrive to help provide a smooth driving experience whether you’re in bumper to bumper traffic or accelerating to enter the highway.
Entertainment and Tech Features
Both minivans have an impressive suite of entertainment and technology features. There are a few differences to consider between trims, but, as you’ll see below, there’s really no bad choice here.
Both the Pacifica and the Voyager use a version of the UConnect entertainment system. This powerful collection of applications and tech make everyday driving something to look forward to. Both minivans include SiriusXM, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto compatibility. Between these three apps, you’ll also stay connected and entertained regardless of what the road throws at you.
Another incredible feature that both mini vans have available is a DVD entertainment system that’s loaded with great apps, fun games, and of course video playback capabilities. With this entertainment technology at your fingertips, you won’t worry how much traffic you get stuck in on your next road trip. One feature that the Pacifica does gain an edge in is the ability to create a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hot spot, offered as subscription that provides up to 22 gigabytes of high-speed data every month.
Safety Features
Again, both the Pacifica and Voyager are excellent in regards to safety. The 2020 Voyager is equipped with awesome driver assistance features such as blind spot monitoring, parking assistance, and rear crossing traffic detection. There are also nine air bags throughout the cabin for added safety during collisions. The Pacifica includes those as well as frontal collision warning with braking assistance and it has earned an IIHS Top Safety Pick rating.
