Chrysler is taking a page out of BMW’s Big Book of Made Up Automotive Acronyms (recall the brand’s poorly planned for English-speaking audiences effort to market the X6 as a Sport Activity Coupe or SAC…), and is releasing the 2025 Pacifica FAV Edition, or Family Adventure Vehicle.
What qualifies the minivan as a FAV? More cargo space, in the form of a Thule rooftop cargo box that is installed prior to delivery. Chrysler calculates that the accessory boosts cargo volume by 453 L up to a total of 4,417 L . That, the automaker claims dubiously, makes the Pacifica FAV the most accommodating vehicle in the segment. While a few hundred bucks and some extra checkmarks on any other minivan’s options sheet would likely re-order the rankings, the accessory is likely a welcome addition to any buyers who were eyeing a roof box anyway.
The box is affixed to black roof rails from the Mopar catalog, which match the 18-inch Foreshadow wheels on which the Pacifica FAV rolls. Inside, the carpets will be kept safe from your family’s adventuring thanks to standard all-weather mats.
The special edition model also comes with a variety of tech features, including standard Stow ‘n Go seating for the second row (third-row stowing seats are standard for plug-in hybrid models), auto-dimming rearview mirrors, and standard lane departure warnings, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and more.
The FAV package will be available on Pacificas powered by Chrysler’s plug-in hybrid powertrain and its internal-combustion-engine-only powertrains, be they front or all-wheel drive models.
The Chrysler Pacifica FAV Edition is set to reach Canadian showrooms early next year, with prices starting at $58,490 (all prices include destination charge), or $65,785 for the plug-in hybrid variant.
