2026 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid Select: Natick Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: 2026 Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid Select
The Select opens the Pacifica PHEV lineup at $51,765 MSRP ($53,760 with the $1,995 destination charge) and it isn't a stripped entry trim — every 2026 driver-assist feature is standard here too, from adaptive cruise to the 360-degree camera. You get the full plug-in hybrid drivetrain (260 hp, 32 miles of EPA electric range), power sliding doors and liftgate, a 10.1-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, heated front seats, and 7-passenger seating with second-row captain's chairs. For a MetroWest family that wants the lowest-cost entry into a plug-in Chrysler minivan, before Stellantis stops building them altogether, this is it.
Base trim, full safety suite
Chrysler's usual pattern — hold back the good driver-assist tech for the money trims — doesn't apply to the 2026 Pacifica PHEV. The Select gets forward collision warning with pedestrian automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure prevention, front parking sensors, and the 360-degree surround camera, standard, same as the Pinnacle above it. That's new for this model year; on the 2025 Select several of those items weren't included. Combined with the fact that this is very likely the last model year the trim will exist at all, it's arguably the strongest Select Chrysler has ever offered.
Where the Select does hold back is trim and materials: synthetic leather seating (with an Ambassador Blue interior color option), 17-inch wheels, and a 10.1-inch center screen rather than the larger unit available higher in the lineup. None of that touches how the van drives, tows the kids to practice, or charges overnight in a Natick driveway.
Every Select gets the plug-in drivetrain
There's no separate "base engine" here — the Select runs the identical 3.6L Pentastar V6 and dual-motor eFlite hybrid transaxle as the Select Premium and Pinnacle, making a combined 260 horsepower through the front wheels. The 16 kWh battery is EPA-rated for 32 miles of electric-only range, and the gas engine picks up seamlessly once that's used, with a combined 30 mpg and total range past 500 miles between a full charge and a full tank. A household 120-volt outlet gets a full charge in about 14 hours overnight; a 240-volt Level 2 charger cuts that to roughly 2 hours. Nothing about that math changes at the Select level — you're not paying more for range or power at any trim in this lineup, only for cabin materials and tech.
One trade-off applies across every PHEV trim, Select included: the 16 kWh battery pack sits under the second-row floor, so the captain's chairs back there don't fold flat into the floor the way Stow 'n Go seats do on the gas Pacifica. The third row still folds flat for cargo. If your household regularly needs the second row to disappear for a Home Depot run, that's worth cross-shopping against the gas Pacifica before you commit.
What the Select comes with, specifically
Keyless entry and remote start, power sliding side doors and power liftgate, 3-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, full LED exterior lighting, and 7-passenger seating across two rows of captain's chairs behind the front seats. The Uconnect 5 system runs wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto plus Amazon Alexa built in — no cables required for either phone platform, which matters more than it sounds like once you're juggling car seats and a diaper bag at the same time.
Who the Select fits
First-time minivan buyers who want the plug-in option without paying for leather they don't need. Households whose daily radius — school, groceries, the commute in toward Boston — sits comfortably inside 32 electric miles, where the Select's lack of Nappa leather never enters the equation. And, frankly, anyone who wants a Pacifica PHEV at all and understands that Chrysler isn't restocking this model, so the practical question is availability, not whether to wait for next year's discount.
Brigham-Gill Village CDJR's reviews back up the buying experience at this end of the lineup. One repeat customer, after her second Pacifica purchase from the store: "I've bought two Pacifica's from [Brigham-Gill Village CDJR] and have been so happy throughout the entire process... this place is 5 stars all around." If the Select's equipment list covers what your family needs, the Select Premium guide lays out exactly what the next step up buys before you decide whether it's worth it.
Frequently asked questions
What does the 2026 Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid Select cost?
MSRP is $51,765 before the $1,995 destination charge, Massachusetts' 6.25% sales tax, registration, and the annual excise. The pricing guide walks the full out-the-door math.
Does the Select have the same electric range as the other trims?
Yes — 32 miles EPA-rated, identical across Select, Select Premium, and Pinnacle. Trim level changes materials and tech, not the powertrain or the battery.
Is the Select missing any safety features the Pinnacle has?
No. Chrysler made the full 2026 driver-assist suite — adaptive cruise, blind-spot monitoring, the 360-degree camera, and the rest — standard on every Pacifica PHEV trim, Select included.
Can I get all-wheel drive on the Select?
No. AWD was never offered on any Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid trim; it's exclusive to the gas-only Pacifica. Every PHEV, Select through Pinnacle, is front-wheel drive.
Is Select PHEV inventory available right now in Natick?
Check current Pacifica Hybrid inventory at Brigham-Gill Village CDJR, or call (855) 708-7746 — because Stellantis discontinued the model, availability reflects what's already on the lot, not an ongoing production run.
The bottom line
The Select proves the 2026 Pacifica PHEV's safety and drivetrain story isn't trim-gated — you get the same 260-hp hybrid system and the same full driver-assist suite as the $60,000+ Pinnacle, for roughly $9,000 less before options. What you give up is leather and a few tech upgrades, covered in the Select Premium guide next.
