What the ratings mean
NHTSA gives the 2019 Chrysler Pacifica 5 out of 5 stars overall, level with the 5-star median for the 4 comparable 2019 vehicles NHTSA rated in this class.
NHTSA published results for every NCAP test in this program, so the overall star rating rests on a complete set of crash and rollover results.
NHTSA's dynamic test put this vehicle's rollover probability at 11.6% in a single-vehicle crash — the figure behind the rollover star rating, published here because the star alone hides how wide each band is.

How this compares
At 22 MPG combined, the 2019 Chrysler Pacifica ranks 1st of 4 minivan -s (2WD) EPA rated for 2019 — 0.5 MPG better than the 21.5 MPG median for that group.
That places it squarely mid-pack for its class. Fuel cost is close enough to its rivals that other running costs will probably matter more.
