据外媒报道，克莱斯勒为了在MPV市场与丰田和本田竞争，将于明年推出Pacifica新的入门级车型，其定位低于LX，称为PacificaL。该车起价28090美元（约合人民币18.26万元），比LX低了2800美元。目前还不清楚该车细节，现在的PacificaLX入门级车型提供了电动车窗，中控锁和巡航控制以及前后加热/空调系统，5英寸触控显示屏，可接驳蓝牙六声道立体声音响，织物三排座椅，17英寸铝制轮圈，287马力3.6升V6引擎和九速自动变速器。今年以来，无论是本田还是丰田的MPV车型销量都大幅下降，而克莱斯勒则是大幅上升。虽然大多数消费者可能不会对Pacifica新款入门级车型感兴趣，但Pacifica 的热销仍将持续。

Chrysler Pacifica Gets New Base Model, $2,800 Price Cut

According to a report from Cars Direct, Chrysler is looking to one-up competition from Toyota and Honda in the minivan segment. The report says the automaker will offer a new base model Pacifica in 2018, slotted below the LX called the Pacifica L. It will sell for a base price of $28,090, which is a full $2,800 under the LX once destination charges are figured in.

As far as what all is included – or in this case excluded – in creating a new base model, we have no information. Currently, Chrysler lists the Pacifica LX with basic power features such as windows, locks, and cruise control as standard equipment, along with front and rear heat/air conditioning, a five-inch touchscreen display with a Bluetooth-compatible six-speaker stereo, cloth three-row seating, 17-inch aluminum wheels, and the 287-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 with a nine-speed automatic.

Both Honda and Toyota have seen sharp declines in minivan sales through the year, while the Chrysler Pacifica has enjoyed a sharp increase. And though we suspect the vast majority of Chrysler shoppers will skip the entry-level model for greener Pacifica pastures, simply having the best deal on the block will surely continue to bring buyers into the showroom.
