The rating applies to Pacifica models built after September following a headlight upgrade and the addition of automatic pedestrian emergency braking as standard equipment.
The Highway Safety Insurance Institute is an independent non-profit organization dedicated to improving the safety of roads and vehicles based in Virginia.
“Earning the highest IIHS safety rating from TSP + distinguishes Chrysler Pacifica’s superior safety technology and performance,” said Chrysler Brand CEO Chris Feuell.
“Pacifica is the perfect choice for modern families looking for a minivan with the greatest combination of safety, functionality and value.”
The minivan earned a “good” rating, the highest possible rating, in all six major crashworthiness tests conducted by IIHS:
Small overlap front (driver’s side)
Small front overlap (passenger side)
Moderate, frontal overlay
Side impact
Roof resistance
Headrest and seats
The Pacifica’s standard equipment AEB system was rated “superior,” the highest possible IIHS rating. It features a new combination of camera technology and radar sensors that provide a wider field of view than the previous system.
Pacifica’s Pedestrian AEB system was rated “advanced”.
