USCar Trader import service
Choose a specific vehicle. Where data is available, its detail page shows the import cost calculation. We assess any possible duty benefit with you before purchase.
Important: A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact us before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support through the process. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.
CarHub · Chrysler
The Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is the rare plug-in hybrid built around a genuine seven-seat minivan body, and it barely exists on European roads.
Model profile
Chrysler launched the Pacifica for the 2017 model year on the new RU platform, retiring the long-running Town & Country nameplate. The Pacifica Hybrid arrived alongside it as Chrysler's first electrified minivan and, despite the simple "Hybrid" badge, it is technically a plug-in hybrid (PHEV).
Powertrain and equipment
The Pacifica Hybrid pairs a 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 running on the efficient Atkinson cycle with a dual-motor eFlite electrically variable transaxle. Combined system output is roughly 260 horsepower.
Only one body exists: the long-wheelbase minivan with dual power sliding doors. On the used US market the Hybrid typically appears as Touring, Touring L, Limited and, from 2022, Pinnacle. Higher trims add leather, a panoramic roof, the rear-seat entertainment system, hands-free doors and a 360-degree camera.
Vehicle selection
The United States is by far the largest source of Pacifica Hybrids anywhere. Typical listings run from around 2018 up to nearly new cars, with mileage spanning low-use lease returns in the 40,000–80,000 km bracket to higher-mileage family examples. Dry-climate cars from the Sun Belt tend to show cleaner underbodies, while northern examples can carry road-salt exposure worth inspecting.

Pre-purchase review
Overall the Pacifica Hybrid is durable, but a few Pacifica Hybrid common problems are well documented. The early 2017–2018 cars were subject to a recall involving a hybrid battery diode that could cause the vehicle to stall; verify the recall was completed.
Germany and Europe
US cars run amber rear turn signals in many cases, lack a rear fog lamp, and use miles-per-hour instrumentation.
Typical changes for approval include converting or supplementing the lighting (adding a rear fog lamp, adapting turn-signal colour and headlight beam pattern), confirming the speedometer reads in km/h, and documenting the emissions and hybrid system.
USCar Trader services
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.
Import process
The assessment depends on the specific vehicle and the circumstances of the transaction. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review any possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are considered separately.
Questions and answers
Yes. Despite the plain "Hybrid" badge it is a plug-in hybrid with a 16 kWh battery and roughly 51 km of electric range, chargeable from an external source.
No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.
Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.
Yes, using a Type 1 (J1772) cable or adapter for AC charging. The car does not use DC fast charging.
No. The underfloor battery means the Hybrid uses removable captain's chairs instead of the fold-into-floor second row of the gasoline Pacifica.
Generally solid, provided early-build recalls and software updates were completed. The Pentastar V6 is well proven.
Anything from low-use lease returns under 80,000 km to higher-mileage family cars. History and condition matter more than the number alone.
No. AWD is offered only on gasoline Pacificas; the Hybrid is front-wheel drive.
