This is the first detailed video on YouTube from an amateur, showing the new Pacifica AWD in different snow-driving situations!!!
I did this long test because - I was curious how it'd work straight from the dealership (no modifications)... and maybe others that are interested in AWD vans, might like it too!
But if you want 3 min of high speed drifting and donuts, look for other vids :)

It shows my experience with the new van and it's original stock tires AND this weather. Your results may be different, and certainly will be different depending on snow conditions etc.
I tested my "2020 1/2 Chrysler Pacifica AWD Launch Edition" on kinda warm, snow-packed, slippery roads... and had a friend along to video and watch wheel-slip from the outside.
It was 32 degrees and snowing, with very little traction.
Note - colder and dryer snow, would have MUCH more traction!

This "late 2020 model" has the same AWD system, and transmission, and tires... as the 2021 Pacifica AWD models (although I think Chrysler will offer tire options).
My 2020 is practically brand new, but I've racked-up 1500 miles in 6 weeks since I bought it, driving around western WA learning about this van.

Did I change to snow tires? Nope, it has the original factory tires, like-new Michelin Premier A/S all season tires, size is 235/60R18. I did this test for my own curiosity, I'm not trying to prove anything. Of course the van would do MUCH better with good snow tires. But I'm comparing this new Pacifica AWD, with my old 2004 Dodge AWD van (it's on another video) and they both have "all season tires" in the stock size... so neither one has snow tires, and it's a closer comparison.
In fact, I think the Pacifica would still have quite an advantage cause it's tires are brand new, and the old Grand Caravan has very worn-out tires.

We drove as hour E of Seattle WA to Snoqualmie Pass, up in the Cascade Mts. I found a little used side-road with a moderate hill, that had several inches of recent snow, compacted hard and slippery from traffic. We also found an almost empty parking lot covered with 2 - 6" of fresh (heavy, wet) snow with compact snow underneath.

I came up with "3 Tests" we could do - with the available terrain, no equipment, and things I was curious about.

Test 1 - The first approx 30 seconds of the vid - is a hill climb up a moderate hill, but that was too easy... so added a few slalom turns for more challenge.

Test 2 - The next approx 4 1/2 min - is kinda long and boring, but important for me and my friends... because THIS is what gives most of us some real difficulty!! It's when you have to stop while going up a hill (for traffic etc) and then, try to get going again on slippery compact snow and ice!!!
I really wanted to test THAT situation!
And I was curious to know what the 4 tires were doing on my van, in this environment... so we got video from both sides of the van.
*Is this new AWD system any good?
*And will all FOUR tires "drive" to get me going up this slippery slope from a standstill, or will one spin hopelessly?
This test is lots of slow starts and stops, repeated up a shallow hill. It wasn't easy - I was very careful with throttle control, focusing on slow gradual effort, trying to keep the tires from spinning, so I could get started. Once you're going, it's always easier to keep going, even on really slippery stuff like this... but the tough part is getting started.
(This is a dark colored van with dark wheels, and it's a dark snowy day. To see the wheels slowly slipping, please watch on a big computer monitor in HD. It's tough to see subtle details on a cell ph, due to my POOR movie making ability :)
Anyway in this test, sometimes I got started just fine, other times I had to back-up slightly, trying to find a spot with a bit more traction. And sometimes I couldn't get going at all.

Test 3 - I ended the vid with the "fun stuff" haha, the approx last 2 1/2 min. - in a flat & snowy parking lot, maneuvering around, slipping and sliding on purpose... and a little "drifting" :)
Cheers!
