The Most Awarded Minivan Ever: Chrysler Pacifica Earns Consumer Guide Best Buy Award for 10th Consecutive Year

February 12, 2026 , Auburn Hills, Mich. – Chrysler Pacifica, America’s best-selling minivan, continues to reign as the most awarded minivan ever, earning a Consumer Guide Best Buy award for the 10th consecutive year.

Since 1967, Consumer Guide Automotive’s award-winning editorial team has used a rigorous and comprehensive evaluation process to identify the vehicles worthy of serious consideration by consumers. The editors use objective criteria, such as price, features, performance, accommodations, fuel economy, reliability records and resale value, to assess each vehicle.

Consumer Guide editors highlight the Pacifica’s excellent array of family-friendly convenience features, spacious cabin with upscale trimmings and on-road performance.

"While the other vehicles in this segment are worthy of consideration, none matches the Pacifica’s quietness, ride quality or general premium feel,” said Tom Appel, Consumer Guide editor. "Pacifica is the ultimate family road-trip vehicle, boasting a quiet and comfortable cabin, flexible storage options and surprising highway fuel economy."

“Earning a Consumer Guide Best Buy award for the 10th year in a row is a powerful validation of Chrysler’s commitment to thoughtful design, safety and innovation for families,” said Chris Feuell, Chrysler CEO. “This milestone reflects the dedication of our entire team and our vision for delivering vehicles that combine comfort, ingenious versatility and smart technology to everyday life. We’re proud of this recognition and remain committed to continue raising the bar for our customers.”

The 2026 Consumer Guide Best Buy honor is the latest of more than 185 accolades for Chrysler Pacifica, America’s best-selling minivan, since its introduction for the 2017 model year. The honor reinforces Chrysler Pacifica’s position as the benchmark of family transportation innovation, comfort and capability.

The Chrysler minivan lineup retained sales leadership in the U.S. in 2025. More than 15 million Stellantis minivans have been sold globally since Chrysler invented the segment more than 40 years ago.
