The satisfaction of customers is one of the most reliable measures of a car’s greatness.
This year, three very well-known Stellantis vehicles were hailed as winners of the 2021 AutoPacific Vehicle Satisfaction Awards. Based on a poll of almost 90,000 new car and truck owners, these automobiles earned praise as the most satisfying vehicles on the market within their respective categories—presenting the Chrysler Pacifica, Ram 1500, and Jeep Grand Cherokee.
2021 Chrysler Pacifica
Proving its dominance in the minivan segment, the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica was hailed as the “Most Satisfying Minivan,” adding to a list of 155 accolades and honors it has earned since its introduction. Being the first ever minivan to offer both hybrid and gas powertrains, the Pacifica has clearly stood out among other brands. Not to mention, its top-notch Pinnacle model offers the best of the best family-friendly features such as the class executive Stow ‘n Go seating, AWD capability, next-generation Uconnect 5 connectivity, new FamCAM interior camera, wireless charging, and more safety features than any vehicle in the industry.
In electric-only mode, the hybrid Pacifica can deliver more than 80 miles per gallon, with an all-electric driving range of more than 30 miles. The total driving range of more than 500 miles makes it perfect for long road trips too.
2021 Ram 1500 Pickup
Innovative tech, durability, efficiency, convenience, performance, and robust engines have made the Ram 1500 a favorite in the truck category. It’s really no wonder why it reigns as the “Most Satisfying Full-size Pickup.” With a payload capacity of 2,300 pounds, and a towing capability of up to 12,750 pounds, the Ram 1500 is a very ideal work truck that can perform any type of errand. This powerful half-ton diesel pickup can deliver a powerful torque of 480 lb.-ft. You can also expect improved fuel efficiency in both V-6 and V-8 configurations with the eTorque mild hybrid system.
The Uconnect 4C with a massive 12-inch touchscreen that features 360-degree camera views, split-screen capability, personalized stations powered by Pandora, and exclusive content from SiriusXM further leads the Ram 1500 in its segment technology-wise. Apart from this, it is also the first vehicle that included the new Know & Go mobile app that gives customers an immersive experience while learning about their vehicles more.
Class-leading ride and handling, and active safety and security systems further make the Ram 1500 an all-rounder that is worth every penny.
2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Premium refinement tied with the safest and most advanced technology features, superior luxury and elegance make the Grand Cherokee top-of-the-line.
Now in its 25th year, the AutoPacific Vehicle Satisfaction Awards is conducted by AutoPacific, a future-oriented product-consulting and automotive marketing research firm that aims to guide buyers in selecting the most worthwhile vehicles.
Grand Cherokee has set its legacy as the most awarded SUV, and has been continuously raising the bar for what a premium SUV should be. Named as the “Most Satisfying Mid-size SUV/ORV,” it boasts of legendary Jeep capability such as four available 4x4 systems, class-leading Selec-Terrain traction management system, and Jeep’s Quadra-Lift air suspension system. You will also be amazed by the Grand Cherokee’s best-in-class 7,200 pounds towing capability, and a crawl ratio of 44.1:1.
With the recent introduction of the new 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L, the Jeep brand has again shattered expectations in the full-size SUV segment. For the first time, it is now available in three-row form, and offers a more spacious interior with more touches of elegance and comfort.
