Minivans in general are the best vehicles on the road. The interiors are bigger better made they are quick, and have actually really well engineered suspension. Top it off the space is big enough you can sleep in them in a pinch. I think they look great sadly almost no one else does lol

We had a '23 PHEV Pinnacle. Great interior. Terrible transmission--three times it went into limp mode but two dealers couldnt find the fault. There are known transmission recalls--the main computer gets discordant readings between wheelspeed and transmission and, in an effort to avoid damage from what it thinks is a mismatch, sends an error message and drops the max speed of the car until you reboot it. But rebooting clears the error! This is not much fun when your wife is on the highway with your kids. Wish we'd just gotten the gas motor.

This car currently has no competition in it’s category. It’s the only plug in hybrid minivan and right now there are not BEV minivans until the ID Buzz comes out. With the increased emphasis on plug in and hybrids, I’d think this would be worth investing in. There are now several 3 row vehicles to choose from if you want an EV, but most of them are not very good if you plan on using the 3rd row frequently or with adults. It’s hard to beat the practicality of the minivan. Seems like with as long as it’s been on the market, they could take advantage of improvements in battery technology and give this more horsepower and range. Maybe even give this the kind of system they are putting in the Ram where the engine charges the battery instead of powering the car so that it acts like a range extender rather than a traditional hybrid.
