With everything from sumptuous quilted leather seating to freaking throw pillows, this minivan is ultra posh and it's teched-out, too.

Already one of our favorite family vehicles, the Pacifica gains new styling, a redone infotainment system, and lots of new safety features.

While the Roadshow staff isn't quite in love with the 2021 Pacifica's new-look nose, the rear's redesign comes in for more praise, especially around the full-width taillights.

The AWD system features axle disconnect tech for improved fuel efficiency. 

They've even managed to figure out how to maintain the Pacifica's Stow 'n Go second-row seats, though you can't get AWD with the plug-in Hybrid model.

Stow the second and third rows, and FCA says there's up to 140.5 cubic feet of cargo space.

In the Pinnacle model, there's also 227.6 liters of total storage capacity -- enough for 60 gallons of milk. (That's 516 pounds of moo juice, ya'll.)
