History
Chrysler announced in 2013 that it would create a new generation of its Town & Country minivan. The production was set to start in 2015, and the vehicle would be released as the 2017 model. In 2015, FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne confirmed a $2 billion investment to develop the new minivan and improve the Windsor Assembly Plant in Canada.

The new model debuted at the 2016 North American International Auto Show. It was named Pacifica instead of Town & Country to show that it was different from previous models.
