Great news from Chrysler this week, as it was announced that the new 2017 Chrysler Pacifica has earned the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award. This is one of the highest possible honors for vehicle safety, and earning it further cements the 2017 Pacifica as one of the most family-friendly vehicles on the market today.
This is a well-deserved award for Chrysler, as the Michigan-based automaker went to great lengths to pack the new 2017 Pacifica full of innovative safety features. It all begins with its construction. The Pacifica's body is made of 72 percent high-strength steel. More commonly used in the construction of heavy-duty working trucks, the use of steel enhances the overall structural integrity of the Pacifica. This was a major factor in it stellar crash test rating scores, where it earned the highest possible "good" rating in all five major government crash tests. In addition, the Pacifica features over 100 safety and security features which help to mitigate and prevent the chance of an accident. In particular, available systems like Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Warning Plus, and Parksense Rear Park Assist with Stop and Rear Cross Path Detection play a major role in preventing accidents from packed highways to crowded parking lots and nearly everywhere in between.
