Chrysler Pacifica All-Electric Heads to 2017 CES

View

CES (Consumer Electronics Show) held in January every year, gathers the latest innovations in terms of technology from different sectors, including the auto industry. And we surely expect a lot of carmakers to display their latest autonomous or all-electric cars that will spawn high-performance future models.

One carmaker that will be present at the show is the North American based Chrysler, part of the Group Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, which will present its all-new Pacifica electric variant.

It is well-known that the Pacifica is already equipped with a plug-in hybrid version, but in order to reduce the CO2 emissions to zero and enhance the mile range, the company has decided to ditch the 3.6-liter V6 Pentastar combustion engine and leave the electric motor alone. This way, in full-electric, we should expect an impressive range, way too impressive than the present 33 miles.

There are not a lot of information to be displayed about the all-new Chrysler Pacifica all-electric, except for the fact that, according the Bloomberg, the prototype is rumored to spawn a future production model, which is good news for those wanting to drive clean with no CO2 emissions.

As a reminder, the newly-announced Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid comes with a total of 566 miles, returning as well 84 mpg. The model will be released on the United States starting next year and will have a starting price of $34,495.

More details will be known starting the 3rd of January, meanwhile, take a closer look at the all-new Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid, which will influence the making of the all-electric car, visually at least.
