2022 Chrysler Pacifica fuel economy (EPA)

The EPA rates the 2022 Chrysler Pacifica at 20–30 MPG combined; the 3.6L 6-cylinder + 89 kW motor (FWD) is the most efficient and the 3.6L 6-cylinder (AWD) the thirstiest. Every EPA test configuration is below, from the government's fuel-economy database.

City, highway and combined figures are in MPG (MPGe on electricity).

Source: U.S. EPA and Department of Energy, fueleconomy.gov. MPG is miles per gallon (MPGe for electric operation). Plug-in hybrids list gasoline-only MPG with the electric rating underneath. Annual fuel cost assumes 15,000 miles a year at the EPA's fuel-price assumptions, so yours will differ. Range is total driving range on a full tank or charge.

A tire pressure monitoring system warns when a tire is low.

Sizes and pressures vary by trim, wheel package and load: check the placard on your vehicle and the tire sidewall. Sizes from the manufacturer's specification sheet (2022 Chrysler Pacifica Specifications, 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.

2022 Chrysler Pacifica maintenance schedule

The factory schedule for normal driving. Oil changes follow the oil-change indicator on most models; severe use (towing, dusty roads, lots of idling) shortens some intervals.

A dot means the service is due at that mileage or after that many years, whichever comes first.

Additional Inspections

  • Inspect the CV/Universal joints
  • Inspect front suspension, boot seals, tie rod ends, and replace if necessary
  • Inspect the brake linings, parking brake function

Additional Maintenance

  • Replace cabin air filter

At every oil change

  • Change oil and filter
  • Rotate the tires at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before the oil indicator system turns on
  • Inspect battery and clean and tighten terminals as required
  • Inspect the CV/Universal joints
  • Inspect brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, hoses and parking brake

Salt, snow and hills: the data

Reading the 2022 Pacifica data for Great Lakes roads

Lake-effect squalls, roads soaked in brine, potholes that open with every thaw and long Appalachian grades: driving in the Great Lakes states asks a lot of tires, batteries and undersides. These notes take the 2022 Pacifica figures above and flag the ones that carry the most weight in Tennessee.

Pothole season and the factory tire sizes

Smallest factory tire: 235/65R17. Freeze-thaw cycles break up asphalt across the Great Lakes states, and one jolt can knock the alignment out without leaving a mark on the wheel. If the steering wheel sits off-center or the Pacifica wanders after a pothole, get the alignment checked before the tire edges wear. A winter set on 17-inch wheels also keeps salt off the originals.

What the manual says about oil

The 2022 Chrysler Pacifica fluids table lists SAE 0W-20, with 5 Quarts per change. Lake-effect winters are full of short, cold trips: to work, to school, to the store and home again before the engine reaches temperature. That pattern is tough on oil, so let the oil-change indicator set the interval and never stretch it.

Starting in single digits

Battery care in this schedule: inspect it and clean and tighten the terminals as required at each oil change. A battery that bakes through a Nashville or Memphis summer ages faster, then gets found out by the first hard freeze. Have it load-tested in fall rather than waiting for a slow crank.

Traction for snowbelt hills and hollows

This model year offers front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. In Tennessee, the payoff comes in the first hour of a storm, before plows reach side streets, and on boat ramps slick with algae where a two-wheel-drive tow vehicle can spin. Keep the system's limits in mind on ice: driven wheels add grip for going, not for stopping or turning.

Fuel reserve for storm closures

Fuel capacity: 19 gallons. Lake-effect whiteouts can shut stretches of I-94 in Michigan or I-90 through the Ohio Snowbelt for hours, so keep the tank from running low between November and March. If you do end up stranded, a running engine for heat needs a tailpipe clear of snow.

Filters for dust and pollen

The cabin air filter first comes up at 20,000 miles. Spring pollen in the Ohio and Tennessee valleys is heavy, and a clogged cabin filter also slows the defroster in winter because it chokes the blower's airflow. It is a five-minute job on most vehicles.

Fuel grade and winter reserve

Fuel requirement: 87 octane. In winter, keeping the tank above half is a sensible habit across the Great Lakes states, because lake-effect pileups and mountain snow on I-64 or I-77 can leave traffic stopped for hours, and fuel is your heat.

Each spec in these notes is pulled from the tables above. The commentary on salt, snow, potholes and grades is general guidance for the Great Lakes states; the owner's manual remains the authority.
