2027 Chrysler Vehicle Lineup: Pacifica UpdatesStellantis - MotorTrendFor the past few years, Chrysler has been easy to summarize and hard to predict: one minivan, a famous badge, and a comeback plan that seemed to keep shifting just over the horizon.Now the picture is starting to come into focus. The 2027 model year brings updates to the Pacifica, but the bigger news is Chrysler's plan to stretch beyond its present minivan-only lineup with new crossovers, new platforms, and a strategy that looks more flexible than the all-electric future it once promised. Here's what's changing for Chrysler for 2027 and beyond.1) 2027 Chrysler PacificaPhoto credit: Stellantis - MotorTrendThe Pacifica enters the new model year with a clearer lineup and a little more swagger. At the bottom of the range, a new Pacifica LX trim replaces the Voyager. From there, the minivan gets a lightly refreshed face, including an illuminated piano-key-style grille on Select, Limited, and Pinnacle trims, an adjustable power liftgate, a rear Chrysler wing badge, updated wheel designs, and a revised paint palette.AdvertisementAdvertisementInside, Chrysler leans into the Pacifica's premium family-hauler side, especially on the Pinnacle model, which gets trim-specific Blue Agave Nappa leather and Copper Alloy bezels. The tech packaging also changes, as the Uconnect Theater package and Family Tech Group become separate options.The most important change, though, is what disappears. The plug-in hybrid Pacifica has been discontinued, leaving the lineup without the electrified powertrain that once helped set it apart from other minivans.Chrysler is trying to offset some of that lost headline appeal with a new Enhanced Safety package, which adds turn-signal-activated Blind Spot View, ParkSense-based camera activation, 360 Surround View, and Front Park Assist with Stop.MotorTrend Ranked: #2 in best minivans (2026 model)AdvertisementAdvertisementRead Our Experts' Full Chrysler Pacifica Review2) 2028 Chrysler AirflowPhoto credit: ManufacturerThe Airflow is shaping up to be Chrysler's most important new arrival in years—a midsize, two-row SUV meant to prove the brand can be more than a minivan company.Expected for the 2028 model year, the Airflow will ride on Stellantis' new STLA One platform (the same that will underpin the Dodge GLH) and is set to offer a range of powertrains, including gas, hybrid, and full-EV versions. That flexibility is the key change from Chrysler's earlier all-EV revival plans, and it should give the Airflow a better shot at reaching mainstream SUV shoppers.Just as important, the Airflow is expected to preview the brand's next design era. Chrysler wants a "modern and transparent" look, with inspiration from the Halcyon concept and a lower, more elegant stance than many crossovers. Think less rugged SUV, more design-forward family-hauler.AdvertisementAdvertisementPricing is still unofficial, but early estimates put the Airflow in the low-$30,000 to low-$40,000 range, placing it right in the heart of the midsize SUV market.Read Our Experts' Full Chrysler Airflow Review3) 2028 Chrysler Arrow/Arrow CrossPhoto credit: FiatThe Arrow and Arrow Cross are expected to be the brand's new entry point: a pair of affordable small crossovers aimed at bringing Chrysler back into segments it has largely abandoned.Both are based on upcoming Fiat models—the Arrow on the Fiat Grizzly Fastback and the Arrow Cross on the more upright Grizzly SUV—and both are expected to start below $30,000, giving Chrysler badly needed volume beneath the Pacifica and Airflow.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe split between the two should come down mostly to style and stance. Think of the Arrow as the sleeker, coupelike member of the family, while the Arrow Cross plays the more traditional SUV role. MotorTrend compares the strategy loosely to Buick's Envista and Encore GX pairing—two related vehicles at similar prices, one more style-forward and one more conventional.Chrysler says these won't simply be rebadged Fiats, either, with brand-specific design and cabin details that should give the U.S.-market models their own identity.Read Our Experts' Full Chrysler Arrow/Arrow Cross Review4) 2027 Chrysler Lineup: What's NewPhoto credit: Stellantis - MotorTrend2027 Chrysler Pacifica: Minor updateChrysler Airflow: Future modelChrysler Arrow/Arrow Cross: Future models
