Chrysler Pacifica Picks Up Another Award

The Windsor-made Chrysler Pacifica has picked up another award at the North American International Auto Show, Car.com's Best of 2017.

It's the first time a minivan has been awarded the honour, and it is the second award after the Pacifica won the Best Utility Vehicle of the Year Monday.

Cars.com companies include DealerRater, Auto.com, PickupTrucks.com and NewCars.com. The Chicago company is owned by TEGNA Inc.

"In many ways, Chrysler turned the minivan segment upside down with its new Pacifica," says a release from Cars.com. "It out-styles, outdrives and just plain out-wows the rest of the class."

The Pacifica went head-to-head with all-new or fully redesigned 2017 model-year vehicles for the award.
