Real Savings for New Brunswick Families
The numbers tell a compelling story for families who track their transportation costs. Consider a typical family's weekly routine: two school drop-offs and pickups (about 40 kilometres total), grocery shopping twice per week (15 kilometres each trip), and various local activities. These routine trips, which might total 70 kilometres weekly, can often be completed entirely on electric power.
At current New Brunswick fuel prices, families could save approximately $300-400 monthly on gasoline for their regular local driving. Over a year, these savings can offset a significant portion of the vehicle payment.
The charging process integrates seamlessly into family life. Plug in when you arrive home, and the vehicle charges overnight during off-peak electricity hours when rates are typically lower. The Pacifica Hybrid's Uconnect 5 system allows you to schedule charging during these cost-effective periods, maximizing your savings while minimizing your environmental impact.
Practical Family Features That Matter
Beyond the fuel savings, the Pacifica Hybrid maintains all the practical advantages that make minivans essential for growing families. The class-exclusive Stow 'n Go seating system means you can quickly reconfigure the interior for everything from hauling sports equipment to accommodating extra passengers for carpools.
The available FamCAM interior camera provides peace of mind for parents, offering a clear view of rear-facing child seats right from the front dashboard. For longer family trips, the available Amazon Fire TV system keeps passengers entertained while the hybrid powertrain extends your range to 835 kilometres on a full tank and charge.
- Three-zone automatic climate control keeps everyone comfortable regardless of seating position
- Up to 11 USB ports ensure devices stay charged for the whole family
- More standard safety features than any vehicle in its class, including standard Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking
- Power sliding doors and liftgate make loading and unloading easier in tight parking spaces
Making the Financial Case
The Pacifica Hybrid's 3.6-litre Atkinson cycle V-6 engine works with dual electric motors through an innovative eFlite electrically variable transmission. This system delivers 260 hp total system power while achieving remarkable efficiency. The regenerative braking system captures energy during deceleration, helping to recharge the battery and extend your electric range.
For families evaluating the financial benefits, the calculation extends beyond fuel savings. Lower maintenance requirements for the electric components, reduced wear on the gasoline engine during electric-only operation, create multiple layers of long-term value.
Which Pacifica Hybrid Model is Right for You?
The 2025 lineup offers clear choices based on your family's priorities. The Plug-in Hybrid Select provides all the essential hybrid technology and family features at an accessible price point. For families wanting additional luxury and convenience, the Plug-in Hybrid Pinnacle adds premium Nappa leather seating, ventilated front seats, and the advanced Alpine Premium Audio System.
Both models include the same hybrid powertrain and electric range, ensuring that your savings potential remains consistent regardless of which trim level fits your budget and preferences.
