Chrysler Pacifica Grizzly Peak: Off-road minivan may enter production

Chrysler is considering series production of the Pacifica Grizzly Peak concept, an off-road minivan with all-wheel drive and raised suspension. First shown in 2025, the project has gained momentum internally. Ground clearance is increased by nearly 7 cm, it rides on BFGoodrich off-road tires on 18-inch wheels, and rear seats are replaced by a storage or sleeping module. The powertrain is expected to be the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 without a hybrid option.
