2017 Chrysler Pacifica vs 2016 Nissan Quest

2017 Pacifica vs 2016 Quest Engine Specs

It's easy to see the differences between the engine capabilities of the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica and 2016 Nissan Quest. Despite both minivans offering a modern exterior, with the much more fluid and streamlined 2017 Pacifica standing out, the Pacifica also races ahead when it comes to horsepower and torque. The standard engine for the Pacifica is a 3.6-liter six-cylinder that produces 287 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, making it capable of towing up to 3,600 lbs. The Quest, on the other hand, offers a less powerful V-6 engine a 2-speed CVT transmission.

When you consider the standard features that come with each vehicle, the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica certainly comes out ahead. Technology features like a voice-activated navigation system, Bluetooth compatibility, interior vacuum system and steering wheel mounted audio controls make the Chrysler Pacifica stand out from the competition. The 2016 Nissan Quest has a standard four-speaker audio system, but lacks the standard convenience that comes with the Pacifica.
