When it comes to awards, one vehicle managed to win its respective segment more convincingly than any other at New York Daily's second annual Auto Awards. The Auto team over at New York Daily News awarded the new 2017 Chrysler Pacifica their highly coveted Top Minivan of 2017 prize, the last in a long line of achievements for the innovative and modern Pacifica. The Unprecedented Segment Winner A panel of eight automotive journalists was given the task of testing and evaluating many vehicles for this year's awards. With over 100 years of collective experience amongst them, they had no issue in reaching a verdict for each individual segment. The goal was simple, and the directive the jurors were given even more so: rank the vehicles in the same way you would recommend them to your family, friends and co-workers. Although some segments proved to be more competitive than others, the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica managed to trump its respective segment most convincingly, getting top marks from all eight jurors.Reinventing the Minivan Segment Some 30 years ago, Chrysler practically invented the minivan segment with the Town & Country. Today, it feels like they've done it again, because the Pacifica is so far ahead from the nearest rival it feels like there are two or three generation gaps between them. Built on an entirely new platform, it adds 37 minivan firsts and 115 total innovations in the segment. An incredible amount given the size of the minivan segment. For 2017, the Uconnect Theater rear seat entertainment system makes an appearance, and it offers a full array of comfort and convenience packages.
