I drive the 2024 Pacifica plug in hybrid.
My particular vehicle is work issued and has a rack in the back so it only has the two front seats available for passenger and driver.
I load the rack of shelves in the back with the parts to repair the devices that I fix therefore it has more than the standard amount of weight in the back for comparison.
This van is fast ignore the 260 hp rating, that’s for the electric motors which are completely different than a gas driven engine that has 260 hp.
The acceleration is instantaneous you want power? Ok HERE! Have some power but in a completely controlled way. The engine kicks on but its not connected to the driveline so their is no torque steer. It just goes.
Think of the throttle as a “wish granter” you step on the pedal and your wish is granted.
I am continually amazed at how hard this thing will pull when you step on it. I am by no means a non-aggressive driver however I am trying to be a much more of a team player when I’m out on the highway. This vehicle ends the argument instantly.
“NO I am going to pass you.”
That brings me to the adaptive cruise control. This is amazing stuff right here. Didn’t think I’d like it. Yeah I love it. You can set it and forget it. You can change the distance between you and the car in front of you so if traffic gets kinda heavy, you don’t have to leave a huge hole for everybody to merge into. You can also adjust the speed it maxes out at.
Then there’s the drive mode called L for some reason.
This is like an extra set of brakes
No kidding throw this on at 70-75 miles an hour and watch the car immediately come down from speed completely under control. Add the brake pedal to the equation and it stops even faster again completely under control.
Another feature of the L setting is that when put here and your driving through speed bumps or dips or severe corners in a parking lot, the suspension hunkers down, and the body roll is almost completely negated to where when you maneuver through what used to be a rather jostling ride is now completely smooth. Dips and speed bumps disappear.
I have enjoyed driving my entire life, and I never thought I would like an electric vehicle. Let alone a van. I am more of a sedan / sports car / race car kinda guy.
Take one of these on a test drive
Find a nice long straight stretch of deserted road and get the vehicle up to 60-70 miles an hour (or whatever is safe) then put it into L and step on the brakes progressively hard (but SLOWLY) and watch just how fast this thing slows down.
Remember, my review is with at least 600 pounds of equipment in the back of the van on racks.
None of my items move an inch. They all stay exactly where they’re supposed to because the van doesn’t really pitch forward when you step on the brakes under L it just kind of stops very quickly.
Again, try it and see if you don’t just love it.
Oh and yes it does get good gas mileage, I doubt I am getting what everyone else is but I have a huge smile on my face as I enjoy this vehicle.…

I’ve had the vehicle for two weeks. My first plug-in hybrid. I wish the charge lasted longer/regeneration was more efficient. But I’m averaging well over 30 mpg, and even hit 99.9mpg on a short drive. Great features- everything I could want.…
