As a Pacifica Hybrid PHEV owner in Lexington, you understand the importance of sustainable transportation. With its unique dual-powertrain setup, this minivan offers the perfect blend of gas and electric performance, making it ideal for families on the go. With the added benefit of a charging port, your family can reduce emissions while enjoying the convenience of a spacious minivan.
Owners typically transition their Pacifica Hybrid at the end of leases or as battery State of Health (SoH) declines. This vehicle, built on the reliable RU platform, has become a trusted choice for families across Lexington since its debut in 2017. Donating your Pacifica Hybrid not only supports local charities but allows others to benefit from an energy-efficient vehicle that helps reduce our carbon footprint.
📖Generation guide
Single Generation • 2017-Present
The Pacifica Hybrid features a 16 kWh battery, achieving a 32-mile EV-only range with a combined rating of 82 MPGe. Available trims include Touring L, Limited, and Pinnacle.
Known issues by generation
While the Pacifica Hybrid is an innovative vehicle, it's essential to be aware of some known issues. The 2017-2019 models experienced HV battery cooling-fan failures, leading to a class-action recall. Additional concerns include mid-cycle eFlite transmission solenoid issues and a short lifespan for the 12V auxiliary battery. Infotainment problems with Uconnect 4 freezing and rebooting have also been reported. The Stow-n-Go storage feature is unavailable on the Hybrid due to the battery occupying that space, a fact that potential donors should clarify to avoid confusion.
Donation value by condition + generation
The donation value of your Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid varies significantly based on the battery State of Health (SoH) and trim level. High-end trims like the Pinnacle, which includes quilted Nappa leather and advanced audio systems, can appraise for $5,000 or more, especially in low-mileage condition. In contrast, the Touring L typically appraises between $2,000 to $4,000. Remember, for IRS purposes, if your vehicle sells for more than $5,000, Form 8283 Section B is required for accurate reporting.

Lexington regional notes
In Lexington, the availability of charging stations is steadily increasing, making it easier for Pacifica Hybrid owners to charge their vehicles. The climate can affect EV range and battery longevity, especially in colder months, but the Pacifica Hybrid's design accommodates these conditions well. Kentucky residents may also benefit from state incentives for electric vehicles, enhancing the appeal of purchasing a used EV like the Pacifica Hybrid.
