Production of the updated 2027 Chrysler Pacifica minivan has officially begun in Windsor.

Stellantis produces the Chrysler Pacifica, as well as its siblings Grand Caravan for Canada and Voyager for the United States, at the Windsor assembly plant.

The company held a celebration May 28 to mark the launch of the updated Pacifica, which received a face lift and a few new features.

It also got a lower price tag for 2027.

“The start of production of the refreshed 2027 Chrysler Pacifica is a proud moment for our Windsor Assembly team and a testament to their world-class manufacturing expertise,” said Stellantis Canada president and CEO Trevor Longley said in a news release. “For more than four decades, Windsor has been at the heart of minivan innovation. This latest evolution builds on that legacy with enhanced design, advanced technology and even stronger value for Canadian families.”

The head of Unifor, the union representing the autoworkers at the Windsor assembly plant, welcomed the latest production start.

“Stellantis’ decision, amid global economic uncertainty, is a testament to the work of our members and the importance of building in Canada. As the Windsor assembly plant enters this new era of production, governments must act to resolve ongoing tariff challenges and protect Canadian auto jobs,” said Unifor national president Lana Payne in a news release.

Stellantis added 1,700 jobs at the Windsor plant in 2026 as it reintroduced a third shift.

The 2027 Chrysler Pacifica and Chrysler Grand Caravan are expected to arrive at dealerships this summer.

Full model details are available on the Chrysler Canada website.
