A thoughtful design, clever tech, and a fuel-efficient hybrid powertrain option have made the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica one of the best minivans on the market. If you're in need of a new family-friendly car, or have enjoyed what the 2020 Chrysler Pacifica offered, you're going to love what the 2021 Pacifica has to offer. 1. Space for the Whole Family and Their Carry-On An attractive, airy cabin comfortably seats eight people if you get the second-row bench seat, or seven if you get the second-row bucket seats, and head and legroom are ample for even full-sized adults. You can enjoy 32.3 cubic feet of space behind the third row, or fold down both the third and second row for a total of 140.5 cubic feet of room. Stow n' Go seating allows seats to fold all the way into the floor for even more space. more 2. Fantastic Technology Will Keep Everyone Entertained There's some serious fun to be had in the Pacifica this year. Three sound systems are available: the standard 6-speaker, a 13-speaker Alpine stereo, and a 19-speaker Harman Kardon stereo. Did someone say “family sing-along”? Between satellite radio and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, you're bound to find some great tunes. The kids will also love being able to watch their favorite movie or show with the dual-screen rear-seat entertainment system and overhead DVD player. Up in the driver's seat, you can enjoy a 10.1-inch infotainment system with crisp, responsive graphics, plus an available Wi-Fi hotspot, navigation, and wireless device charging. Are things getting a little hectic back there? FamCam displays a visual of the rear seats on your infotainment screen, so you can keep an eye on things while staying focused on the road. 3. A Safety Suite to Keep You Looked After Unlike many vehicles on the market, Chrysler has made the majority of driver-assist features that come with the Pacifica standard, so you can feel absolutely confident no matter what trim you're driving. Rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, and forward-collision warning are among them. On rainy Maryland days, you'll love rain-sensing windshield wipers, and those who drive a lot at night will appreciate automatic high-beam headlights. Upgrading will get you a surround-view parking camera system, parallel and perpendicular park assist, and front parking sensors. 4. A Hybrid Powertrain Saves You on Fuel The available Pacifica Hybrid - America's only plug-in hybrid minivan - combines the 3.6-liter V-6 engine of the normal Pacifica with two electric motors. The result is an incredible EPA rating of 82 miles per gallon; that's some serious fuel economy and makes it one of the most eco-friendly vans on the market. The Hybrid's total driving range is 520 miles of driving range and 32 miles of electric-only driving range. The car's clever technology allows it to switch between driving modes automatically.

Vehicles are more than just a means to get where you are going. They serve a valuable purpose, getting us to work, picking up the kids, and so forth. Many people pay close attention to the maintenance of their vehicle, changing the oil, rotating the tires, etc. But how good are you at keeping the interior of your vehicle maintained? Do you simply throw away your trash every day, or do you have a weekly cleaning regimen? Here's a look at some of the things you should be doing regularly to keep your car's interior looking like new. more Vacuuming The first thing you should do when cleaning is vacuuming. The seats should be vacuumed, the dashboard, the floors, and any removable floor mats. These areas collect all the dust and dirt we track into our car from the parking lots, parks, stores, and other places we visit. If you've ever stopped at a drive-through and ordered food, you've probably eaten as you drove down the road. If you've never dropped a French fry then you're the first. Even the littlest of cru mbs can attract bugs, or worse, maggots. Don't let your car turn into the town land fill. Vacuum regularly and keep things clean. Upholstery Cloth seats come standard in many cars today. Many people opt for leather seats and trim. Either way, the fabric needs proper attention. Using the right cleaner for the material you are cleaning is important. Cloth seats in particular can retain moisture, and develop mold and mildew stains. Cleaning your seats regularly will help keep them clean and the car smelling good. Windows It's extremely important that you keep all the windows in your car clean, but most especially the windshield. The windows provide visibility as you drive. Clean windows mean a clear view. Dirty, smudged, fingerprinted windows mean an obstructed view. At night when visibility naturally decreases with the lack of light, these smudges can be dangerous. Household cleaners will keep your windows clean. Keep in mind that some contain Ammonia, which can degrade your window's internal defrosting elements and eventually leave them useless. Air Fresheners After you've finished cleaning your vehicle, adding an air freshener can give your car that final touch. There are many products on the market, from oils that attach to yo ur vents to distribute scent, to the hanging variety. Some people are sensitive to smells. If you've ever smelled someone with strong perfume, you get the idea. So be sure to find a scent you and your family enjoy. Trunk Space An often overlooked area of the vehicle is the trunk. For many, it's home to the spare tire, jack, and emergency roadside kits. Sometimes, groceries or a suitcase are thrown in. Just because you don't normally see it doesn't mean it doesn't get dirty, so give your trunk some love too. They say cleanliness is next to godliness, but you don't need to be holy to clean your car. You should be religious about how and how often you clean it, though. Image via Flickr by Boston Public Library used under CC BY 2.0
