Another vehicle is required because of the chip shortage.
Automotive News reports that Stellantis will suspend production of the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid and Grand Caravan Chrysler Pacificas, as well as the Chrysler Voyager, for the remainder of June. Due to the shortage of computer chips worldwide, there is a shortage of components. These vehicles are all made in Windsor, Ontario by the automaker.
Stellantis said that it will continue to work with its suppliers to minimize the manufacturing impact of the supply chain issues facing the industry. “Due to an unprecedented global microchip shortage,” Windsor Assembly Plant production will be reduced through June. The week of June 21 is a down week.
Because of the shortage of components, the factory was unable to stay open for several months. Stellantis stopped production on March 29. According to Automotive News, the site was briefly reopened for production on March 29 but it didn’t operate at its full capacity. The automaker did not assemble minivans the first two weeks of June.
Chrysler has just updated the Pacifica to the 2021 model year. The exterior has been reworked and features a smoother front end. The taillights extend across the entire width of the rear.
The company has a 10.1-inch screen for infotainment that runs Uconnect 5, supports wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. Parents can monitor their children’s activities with the camera built into the interior.
The 2021 Pacifica also featured a Pinnacle trim, which Chrysler deemed luxurious. The 2021 Pacifica has nappa leather and second-row captain’s chairs with pillows. It also features the Ultra center console, which holds 13.64 liters (0.48169 cubic foot) of storage. The grade is priced at $50,845 plus $1,495 destination or $53,390 with all wheel drive.
