Pacifica Hybrid finally coming

The Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid was launched last year; the media drove the new minivan in early December. Production vans still aren’t rolling off the lines, but at least now we have a date: April 7.

FCA announced the production date with this note:

As with all launches, but particularly in the case of this technically advanced vehicle, we are taking great care to ensure that the Pacifica Hybrid comes off the line with the highest quality possible. We will only introduce a vehicle when we are fully satisfied the vehicle meets or exceeds customer expectations.

We have been ramping up the build at the Windsor Assembly Plant, and full retail production will now begin on Friday, April 7. Vehicles will start shipping to dealers on Monday, April 17.
