Chrysler’s Down To One Model But Dealers Are Somehow Drowning In Inventory

Stellantis is currently dealing with a bit of a problem child situation at Chrysler, as the brand’s nearly non-existent lineup, made up of three variations of essentially the same minivan, the Pacifica, Pacifica PHEV, and Voyager, is somehow still moving too slowly for dealers.

According to the latest data from Cox Automotive, Chrysler entered 2026 with a staggering inventory level that sits at more than twice the current industry average of 98 days. The American brand is not even featured in the main inventory chart, trailing behind Stellantis stablemates Ram at 135 days and Jeep at 143 days.

At the opposite end sit three Japanese brands with the leanest inventories in the US, namely Toyota at 28 days, Lexus at 33 days, and Honda at 42 days.

Across the board, Cox Automotive reports that inventory levels remained relatively stable in January 2026 at approximately 2.77 million units. However, a slower sales pace of 845,216 units, down 22 percent compared to December, pushed the national days’ supply up to 98 days, from 76 days the month before.

The sales pace is also down 4 percent compared to January 2025, though total inventory remains below the more than 3 million units recorded at last year’s peak. Cox points out that the higher days’ supply reflects slower throughput rather than swelling stock levels, as dealer inventories have stayed largely consistent.

Monthly New-Vehicle Retail Data

Severe winter storms across large portions of the country in January likely played a role in the softer showroom traffic, adding to the typical seasonal slowdown.

The average listing price now sits at $49,248, down 2.6 percent from the previous month but up 1.4 percent year over year. The numbers suggest selective price adjustments rather than widespread discounting.

Chrysler Remains A One-Model Wonder

Over the past few years, Chrysler has evolved into what can only be described as a one-model brand. Showrooms technically carry three vehicles, yet all are variations of the same minivan, the Pacifica, the Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid, and the more budget-minded Voyager.

Dealers are desperate to move inventory, with Chrysler offering a $3,500 national retail bonus cash effective until March, and up to $2,750 bonus cash allowance. The Voyager currently starts at $41,395, the Pacifica at $44,445, and the Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid at $52,260. Shoppers hunting for stronger value may still find unsold 2025 model year examples on lots.

Last year, Chrysler sold 126,373 examples of the Pacifica and Voyager, a modest 1 percent increase over the 124,683 delivered the year before.

What’s Next For Chrysler?

Despite its current inventory woes, Chrysler is preparing a substantial update for the Pacifica, which is expected to debut in the first half of 2026. A camouflaged prototype was recently spotted testing in the US, with a redesigned face and an illuminated badge inspired by the 2024 Halcyon concept.

The upcoming refresh is also expected to introduce a larger infotainment display and gesture-operated sliding doors. The Pacifica is currently available with V6 and PHEV powertrains, but the latter is expected to be discontinued as part of a reassessment in Stellantis’ product strategy. Still, there is speculation that the minivan could gain the more modern Hurricane 4 Turbo engine.

Those hoping for a Chrysler with a different body style will have to wait. The fully electric crossover, once slated for a 2026 debut, has now been pushed back indefinitely
