So, if you plan to finance and own your Pacifica Hybrid for 16 years, you may break even. If you can buy it, it's definitely a better choice financially.Īccording to the EPA, if you opt for the "hybrid" you'll save about $800 per year on fuel costs. You'll pay about $20,000 over three years only to return the $40,000 car to a dealership. It's important to note that with the best incentives you can lease a Pacifica PHEV for around $450 a month with some $4,500 down. This makes the PHEV a hard sell, despite its strengths. But, as folks are shopping, they see the gas-powered Pacifica for $13,000 less, in addition to ridiculously low lease incentives like $199 per month. Sure, you may get the $7,500 rebate down the road, and that could help offset costs considerably. You can plan on a payment of $800 or more to own this beast.
That doesn't make it a bad choice, it's just not cheap. Financing a $40,245 minivan will set you back some $700 a month even with a zero-interest loan, which many people won't qualify for.
Some say the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is just too expensive - even when you do the math to figure out how much "gas money" you'll be saving - and that may be very true.
