What is the Chrysler Pacifica S Appearance Package?
The Chrysler Pacifica S Appearance Package is an optional package that can give your Pacifica a more polished, sophisticated look, and it includes a few practical perks as well.
The S Appearance Package is available on the Touring, Touring L, and Limited trims. In other words, you can get it on any 2023 Pacifica except the top-tier Pinnacletrim level, which includes some of the package features as standard and has other appearance options.

What it does
The S Appearance Package gives the Pacifica a more “sophisticated” look, inside and out.
But it’s not only about looks. The Stow ‘n Place roof rack can carry up to 150 pounds of cargo. When it’s not being used, the crossbars can be folded into the side rails to enhance aerodynamics.
Chrysler says the air deflectors included can also improve aerodynamics and reduce wind noise while driving.
The locking lug nuts included with the package are another practical bonus, leaving your wheels
Because the package’s features vary by trim level, the price of adding it does, too.
Adding the S Appearance Package to your 2023 Pacifica will cost $1,145, but it’s just shy of $2,000 on the Touring L. But the cost of the Limited’s S Appearance Package is trimmed down a little since some of its features are already included as standard.
So, is it worth it to splurge on the S Appearance Package for a Pacifica? It depends on your budget and what’s appealing to you about the package and the Pacifica. If you like the look of the package and have the extra cash to spare, why not?
Some features, like the roof rack, are already included as standard on the Limited trim. If one of the main reasons you’re interested in the S Appearance Package is for the roof rack, paying $1,000 to $2,000 to add it to the Touring or Touring L would be more feasible than upgrading to the Limited trim—that is, unless you also had your eye on features that only the Limited offers.
To decide whether the package is worth it for you, compare the standard specs of each trim side by side to work out the best, most cost-effective option.
The Pinnacle offers a bit of a different aesthetic appeal than the S Appearance Package. Rather than mostly black accents, it offers platinum-chrome accents as the default. And of course, it also has the widest range of available tech and convenience features.
The Pinnacle trim comes standard with:
Locking lug nuts
245/50R20 BSW All-Season Self-Sealing Tires
Platinum-chrome Stow ‘n Place roof rack
Platinum-chrome bodyside molding
Platinum-chrome window moldings
Quilted Nappa-leather bucket seats
Black/caramel interior accents

The bottom line
If you’re trying to sport the coolest-looking minivan on your block, the S Appearance Package may be able to help you do just that. And if you’re only interested in certain features it can add, like the Stow ‘n Place roof rack or locking lug nuts, it can be a cheaper option than upgrading to the next trim level.
