A lot has been made of the genre-defying 2017 Chrysler Pacifica; people seem torn because on one hand, it’s a minivan, and on the other hand, it’s so cool. Well, the folks at Greater Atlanta Automotive Media Association didn’t let that cloud their judgement when they recently held the GAAMA’s 2016 Family Car Challenge, with the 2017 Pacifica winning not one but two honors in the process!

Fresh off its busy agenda of reinventing the minivan segment, the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica was crowned the overall “Best Family Car” as well as “Best Value” at the 2016 Greater Atlanta Automotive Media Association Family Car Challenge. Judges were impressed by the Pacifica’s elegant styling and convenient, family-friendly features.
“It was our most competitive Family Car Challenge yet and our journalists took almost 200 rides in the cars and trucks in order to truly get a feel for the vehicle, its value, energy efficiency, its technology and comfort. In the front of our minds was always the family factor and whether this would be a vehicle that would be as family-friendly doing school drop-offs as well as taking the family road trip.” –GAAMA President Christopher Lawrence, CEO of AutoAcademics
“GAAMA works hard at this event to evaluate a variety of vehicles for family friendliness and functionality. Our members were thoroughly impressed by the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica. It’s a home run for today’s busy families, offering versatility, functionality, technology and an attractive design all in one vehicle.” –Christopher Lawrence, GAAMA President and CEO of AutoAcademics
The judges were quite impressed by the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica, and here at Lithia Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Medford, we know you will be, too, once you get behind the wheel and experience what it’s like to drive the cool minivan. We imagine your kids will be both surprised and impressed all at once, which should be a fun look to see on their faces.
