Passenger capacity: Up to six (five on entry level models).
Cargo space: Up to 92.7 cubic feet with all seats folded.
Sound system: Basic system is an AM/FM/CD stereo with seven speakers and steering wheel-mounted controls. A premium 385-watt Infinity Intermezzo Digital 5.1 Surround Sound system with eight speakers and a subwoofer is available, as is Sirius satellite radio.
Practicality: This crossover SUV/wagon is luxurious without being flashy. The 2006 Chrysler Pacifica is more maneuverable than a big truck, but more spacious and sporty than a typical station wagon. It’s been rated best-in-class for safety.
