ANALYSISHow safe is the 2025 Chrysler Pacifica Awd?
The 2025 Chrysler Pacifica AWD holds a Safety Index of 95/100, identical to the 2024 model year's 95/100 score, meaning the Exceptional band rating is sustained rather than improved or declined year over year. What distinguishes the 2025 specifically is the combination of a perfect crash-avoidance technology score of 10/10 and a near-perfect defect record score of 19/20, the latter reflecting zero recall campaigns on file at this stage of the vehicle's life. The crash-protection subscore of 66/70 underpins the five-star overall NHTSA rating, with rollover the only category short of a perfect mark at four stars and a 12 percent rollover risk figure. The 21 unverified complaints currently logged are notable for the concentration in Air Bags and Forward Collision Avoidance, two safety-critical systems worth monitoring. However, none of those allegations have produced a recall action for this model year. For a one-year-old vehicle, the absence of any recall campaign is a meaningful data point, and the sustained Exceptional Index signals no measurable safety regression from the prior year.
NCAP // CRASH TESTHow did the 2025 Chrysler Pacifica Awd perform in crash tests?
