  • Chrysler brand design studio uses Pacifica's spacious interior and all-wheel drive (AWD) as a canvas to create a concept perfect for van-life adventures and active lifestyles
  • Pacifica Grizzly Peak concept features a suspension lift above standard Pacifica Limited AWD model of 2.75 inches in front and 2.5 inches in rear
  • Off-road 31-inch BFGoodrich KO2 all-terrain tires mounted on 18-inch Foreshadow wheels provide extra grip for off-road trails
  • Pacifica Grizzly Peak concept debuts Aug. 22-24, 2025, at Overland Expo Mountain West in Loveland, Colorado

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Aug. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Chrysler heads to Overland Expo Mountain West, Aug. 22-24, to debut the new Pacifica Grizzly Peak concept, which builds on four decades of minivan leadership and a century of innovation to demonstrate that the adventure doesn't have to end, even if the pavement stops for America's best-selling minivan.

Inspired by the growing number of recreational overlanding and van-life customers who value flexibility and a space to sleep, the lifted, all-wheel-drive concept builds on the minivan's class-leading combination of innovation, intuitive technology and performance in an off-road-capable ride.  

Maximizing the spacious interior of the Pacifica Grizzly Peak concept, third-row seats are replaced with a large cargo floor panel, ideal for tailoring the cabin for storage or sleeping.

"We've been following van life for years, and we know adventurers really value the versatility the Pacifica delivers," said Chris Feuell, Chrysler brand CEO. "Our Chrysler design studio nailed the brief and really dove in. They lifted the suspension, added useful, functional features, including a roof-mounted Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform rack, TYRI LED lighting and ARB retractable awning, and tailored the cabin for sleeping to create this Pacifica Grizzly Peak concept as a test bed. We're excited to get feedback from the van-life adventurers on our newest concept of the most awarded minivan ever."

Inside and out, the Chrysler Pacifica Grizzly Peak concept showcases flexibility for active lifestyle travel.
