Pacifica is the first Chrysler vehicle to pass through the Chrysler Development System's Quality Gates, a series of high-standard checkpoint tasks and accomplishments required for a vehicle to make it to the road. When the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) put it through its paces, Pacifica received five stars*, the government's highest front and side impact crash test rating. Now, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has made the Pacifica a "Best Pick Frontal" selection in its frontal offset crash test. Pacifica also earned the U.S. Government's best rating for rollover resistance of all SUVs tested.
