"The all-new 2017 Chrysler Pacifica reinvents the minivan segment with a boldly styled and sculpted exterior and a highly functional yet beautifully crafted interior. From every angle, its proportions, surfacing and styling create an appearance not expected of a vehicle in the segment."

A quick Google will tell you the new Pacifica will replace the Town & Country (in the US) which is sold in SA & other markets as the (Grand) Voyager.

Striking looks I must say

I bought a Voyager in 2010. Excellent vehicle until you realise that warranty is only 3 year / 90k km's , and you need to change brake discs and pads every 10 000km's, with excessive costs.

Need to drive the car like an old timer on the road to make sure I don't wear out the brakes *sigh*

If these new models provide similar quality, not worth the hassle imo ..

Waymo announces driverless Uber alternative

Google parent company Alphabet’s driverless ride-hailing service will launch in the US in the next few months

Waymo, Google parent company Alphabet’s autonomous car project, will launch a completely driverless rival to ride-hailing service Uber in the next few months, CEO John Krafcik has announced.

The scheme will launch in Phoenix, Arizona, US, a city known for its dry and predictable weather, reports Reuters, with members of the public requesting a ride through a smartphone app. Waymo engineers are still working on the system’s operation during heavy rain and snow.

Waymo’s cars will be fully driverless Chrysler Pacifica MPVs, which the company has been testing since the project’s announcement last year.

No driver will sit in the front seat, although initially, a Waymo employee will be in the car in case of emergency. This is only temporary, however. Once members of the public begin riding solo, the cars will be equipped with a killswitch as a precaution.

Arizona’s relaxed laws on driverless cars made the state a more suitable location for the scheme’s introduction, rather than Waymo's comparatively legislation-heavy home state of California.

The service, which is free of charge for now, will be rolled out in more areas later, although a timeframe hasn't been specified. The widespread media coverage coupled with fees for use (to be introduced later) will help to offset some of the development costs.

Chrysler Pacifica

The Chrysler brand has taken the Windy City by storm at the 2020 Chicago Auto Show, introducing the new-for-2021 Chrysler Pacifica and setting a new standard in the class by delivering available all-wheel-drive (AWD) capability combined with class-exclusive Stow 'n Go seating and more standard safety features than any other vehicle in the industry, all wrapped in a refreshed exterior and interior design.

"Through 37 years and more than 15 million minivans sold, Chrysler has defined the minivan segment, and we plan to continue redefining it with the new 2021 Chrysler Pacifica," said Tim Kuniskis, Global Head of Alfa Romeo and Head of Passenger Cars - Dodge, SRT, Chrysler and FIAT, FCA - North America. "Not only does this new Pacifica look more capable, it is more capable. It delivers more standard safety features than any vehicle in the industry, offers class-leading AWD capability paired with Stow 'n Go, a new customizable Uconnect 5 system that is five times faster, and you can even take Alexa along for the ride and see into rear-facing child seats with the new FamCAM™. We also have the new top-of-the-line Pinnacle™ model, and Pacifica is still the only hybrid in the segment. Whatever the challenge, Pacifica offers solutions."

The new 2021 Chrysler Pacifica offers the most advanced AWD system in its class and is the only vehicle to offer AWD along with Stow 'n Go seating. The seamless, fully automatic AWD system is the only vehicle in the segment capable of transferring all available engine torque to the rear wheels, or whichever wheels have more available traction. The Pacifica AWD system is also able to sense and stop the drive shaft from spinning when AWD is not required, a class-exclusive feature in the segment that improves efficiency and reduces emissions.

The AWD 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Looks Great And Solves A Major Engineering Problem From 2005

The new 2021 Chrysler Pacifica gets an all-wheel drive system that fixes a major packaging problem that plagued Chrysler starting in the 2005 model year. The refreshed minivan also gets increased ride height, a new infotainment system, and a front end that actually looks damn good. The current Pacifica is already the darling of the minivan class, and this mid-cycle update looks like a smart way to keep it that way.

Ever since the Chrysler Pacifica debuted at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show, pretty much everyone liked it. Then, when folks actually got behind the wheel, they downright adored it (despite its silly shift knob layout), with my coworker Jason writing: “The Pacifica feels like Chrysler finally picking itself up, dusting itself off, and then going in to kick some minivan ass.”
