2026 Chrysler Pacifica 100th Anniversary Edition salutes a century of engineering
Chrysler’s minivan has never been shy about reinvention, and the new 2026 Chrysler Pacifica 100th Anniversary Edition adds another chapter to that story. Timed to the brand’s centennial, the limited-run package layers heritage-inspired cues onto the familiar Pacifica Select trim—whether you choose the conventional 3.6-liter V-6 or the segment’s lone plug-in hybrid. Ordering opens in June for U.S. and Canadian buyers, and pricing nudges just above the standard Select model.
A subtle nod to 1925
The centennial theme is most obvious out back, where a new “Est. 1925” script accompanies the wing badge. Up front, the grille and fascia wear semi-gloss Granite Crystal trim, while the wing logo’s center fills in with an Anodized Ink finish. Luster Gray 18-inch polished wheels (a fresh design for 2026) and gloss-black mirror caps round out the look. Buyers can pick from three exterior paints—Red Hot, Bright White or Hydro Blue—each paired with black daylight openings for a mild two-tone effect.
Powertrains: familiar yet unique in the class
The 2026 Chrysler Pacifica 100th Anniversary Edition keeps the powertrain choices unchanged:
- Gas model: 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6, 287 hp, 262 lb-ft, nine-speed automatic. Expect 0-60 mph in about 7.3 seconds and a top speed near 110 mph. Front-wheel drive is standard, with an all-wheel-drive option.
- Plug-in Hybrid: Atkinson-cycle 3.6-liter V-6 paired with dual electric motors for a combined 260 hp. The 16-kWh battery delivers an estimated 32 miles of electric range, 520 miles total, and an EPA rating of 82 MPGe. This version remains front-drive only.
No mechanical tweaks accompany the anniversary package—Chrysler clearly believes the Pacifica’s drivetrain mix already covers most family needs.
Standard gear: Select trim plus the Safety Sphere bundle
Because the celebratory model builds on the Pacifica Select, it inherits a long list of convenience features:
- 10.1-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Second- and third-row Stow ’n Go seating (gas model) or removable second-row captain’s chairs (PHEV)
- Heated front seats and heated steering wheel
- Power-sliding side doors and hands-free power liftgate
- Blind-Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Path Detection and lane-departure warning
The 100th Anniversary Edition also bundles the Safety Sphere package, adding front ParkSense with automatic stop and a 360-degree surround-view camera—features that normally live on higher trims. Families wanting extra entertainment can option the Uconnect Theater Family package, which includes Amazon Fire TV and a 13-speaker Alpine setup.
Sticker prices and the tariff wrinkle
Base MSRP starts at $44,390 for front-drive gas models and $47,385 with AWD. The plug-in hybrid commands $52,565 before destination, taxes or fees. For context, a standard 2026 Chrysler Pacifica Select lists at $42,465 (gas) or $51,070 (PHEV), so the centennial flair runs less than $2,000.
All Pacifica variants continue to roll out of Windsor Assembly in Ontario. With new tariffs on Canada-built vehicles scheduled to take effect for the 2026 model year, Chrysler could face higher landed costs. Whether that surcharge reaches the window sticker—or is absorbed by Stellantis—remains an open question.
Sales snapshot: still a volume player eight model years in
Chrysler sold 120,554 Pacifica and Voyager minivans in the U.S. last year, the nameplate’s best tally since 2018. Canadian deliveries topped 10,000, marking a three-year upward trend. Those numbers are impressive for a vehicle launched back in 2017, suggesting that the Pacifica’s blend of Stow ’n Go versatility and available electrification still resonates with family buyers.
Where the anniversary model fits in Chrysler’s roadmap
The company’s centennial festivities go beyond this minivan. Chrysler recently previewed the Halcyon concept as a design beacon for a forthcoming electric lift-back, and a refreshed Pacifica is promised for 2026 alongside a new crossover and the budget-minded Voyager’s return. The 100th Anniversary Edition is therefore less a swan song and more a bookmark—tying the present Pacifica to the brand’s future lineup.
Rolling into Chrysler’s next hundred years
The 2026 Chrysler Pacifica 100th Anniversary Edition doesn’t reinvent the minivan, but it does package useful safety tech and some tasteful styling tweaks at a reasonable premium. Families who already like the Pacifica’s formula—and collectors drawn to limited-run trims—will probably find enough here to justify a closer look. Everyone else can take it as a reminder that Chrysler’s only current model still has life left, even as the company gears up for its all-electric horizon.
