Before the Chrysler Pacifica, there was the Chrysler Pacifica

Let's remember Chrysler's original Pacifica, which was more of a crossover than a minivan.

Steven Ewing spent his childhood reading car magazines, making his career as an automotive journalist an absolute dream job. After getting his foot in the door at Automobile while he was still a teenager, Ewing found homes on the mastheads at Winding Road magazine, Autoblog and Motor1.com before joining the CNET team in 2018. He has also served on the World Car Awards jury. Ewing grew up ingrained in the car culture of Detroit -- the Motor City -- before eventually moving to Los Angeles. In his free time, Ewing loves to cook, binge trash TV and play the drums.

Yes, before the Pacifica was a minivan, it was a larger, three-row crossover.

The Pacifica shared its architecture with the Town & Country minivan.

It was powered by a range of V6 engines and even offered all-wheel drive.

The Pacifica was basically a minivan without sliding doors.

The third row of seats could easily be folded into the floor.

The big, 4.0-liter V6 was really inefficient.

Oh, hey, a fold-down entertainment system!

That interior certainly hasn't aged well.
