TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 Chrysler Pacifica is a safe pick for families with versatile seating, a spacious cargo area, and relatively good fuel economy.

The 2019 Ford Flex was a brilliant design in 2009, but it’s showing its age.

TCC Likes

Well equipped in any trim
Almost sporty handling and performance
Spacious cargo area

Boxy shape still stands out
Twin-turbo V-6 thrust
Comfortable interior

TCC Dislikes

No AWD option
Pricey, even in base configuration
Still a minivan…

Short on active safety gear
Design turns 10 this year
Lousy fuel economy
