2026 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid Select Premium: Manahawkin Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: 2026 Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid Select Premium
The Select Premium is the mid-tier plug-in hybrid trim, starting at $55,020 MSRP before destination, and it is worth knowing the naming is new for 2026: this trim used to be called the PHEV "Limited," but for 2026 that name is reserved for the gas lineup, so the hybrid's equivalent trim is now Select Premium. It carries the same 260-hp hybrid system and 32-mile EV range as the Select, and adds Nappa leather, a hands-free power liftgate and a panoramic sunroof, mirroring what the Limited adds to the gas Select. Front-wheel drive only, like every PHEV trim, and this is the plug-in hybrid's final model year. Manahawkin Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram carries them on Route 72 in Manahawkin.
A naming change worth knowing before you shop
If you researched an earlier Pacifica Hybrid, you may remember "Limited" as the mid-tier hybrid trim. For 2026, Chrysler separated the naming: "Limited" now belongs exclusively to the gas lineup, and the equivalent plug-in hybrid trim is called Select Premium. The content is the same idea, Nappa leather, a hands-free power liftgate, a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, just under a new name. If a search or an old bookmark points you toward "Pacifica Hybrid Limited," this is the 2026 trim it means.
Everything about how the hybrid system works stays identical to the Select: the same 3.6L V6 and dual-motor setup, the same 16-kWh battery, roughly 32 miles of electric-only range and 82 MPGe in EV mode, settling into about 30 mpg combined once the battery runs down.
The comfort upgrade, on the hybrid
What you are paying the roughly $3,300 premium over the base PHEV Select for is comfort, not capability: leather that holds up to years of car seats and beach trips, a liftgate that opens hands-free, and a panoramic roof that makes the cabin feel considerably nicer on a sunny Shore day. The electric range, the seating, the Stow 'n Go flexibility, none of that changes.
Frequently asked questions
How much is the 2026 Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid Select Premium?
MSRP starts at $55,020 before the $1,995 destination charge, New Jersey's 6.625% sales tax, and title and registration. Ask the dealer about current federal and state EV incentive eligibility, which changes and is not guaranteed.
Is Select Premium the same as the old "Limited" hybrid trim?
Functionally, yes, it is the successor to what was previously marketed as the Pacifica Hybrid Limited. For 2026, Chrysler reserved the Limited name for the gas lineup only, so the plug-in hybrid's equivalent mid-tier trim carries the Select Premium name instead.
What does the Select Premium add over the base PHEV Select?
Nappa leather seating, a hands-free power liftgate, and a dual-pane panoramic sunroof. The hybrid powertrain, 32-mile EV range and seating layout are unchanged from the Select.
Does it come with all-wheel drive?
No. Every Plug-in Hybrid trim, including the Select Premium, is front-wheel drive only. All-wheel drive is available only on the gas Pacifica lineup.
Where can I see one near LBI?
At Manahawkin Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram on Route 72 in Manahawkin, about ten minutes from the causeway. Given the model's final-year status, call ahead to confirm current stock.
The bottom line
The Select Premium is the plug-in hybrid buyer's comfort upgrade, the same 32-mile electric range and V6 backup, dressed in the leather and glass that used to wear the "Limited" badge. If you want the hybrid with a nicer cabin, this is the trim, and with 2026 being the final model year, it is a decision worth making sooner rather than later.
