HW Race Team (2019 New Model): CHRYSLER PACIFICA

When Hot Wheels makes mini-vans, they make them cool. This wave of modern #Vans differs from the paneled vans of years past. Rather, today’s Hot Wheels vans are either slammed, racing vehicles like the ’14 Honda Odyssey OR they are heavily-modded, 4×4 #Off-Road Vehicles. The #2019 New Models #Chrysler Pacifica falls into the latter category as it looks like its ready to “do work” on some rugged terrain.

Its quite the debut for the brand-new, Hot Wheels #Chrysler Pacifica casting as it comes in the #2019 Hot Wheels #HW Race Team series wearing the famed #Hot Wheels Race Team livery. Speaking of the livery, this year’s design was designed by Hot Wheels Graphic Designer, Leeway Chang. It incorporates red, yellow, white and gold graphics on a race team blue body. This release wears #Baja 5-Spoke Wheels which are also new for 2019.

Between the large off-road wheels, tubular front bumper, light bar, and spare tires hanging out the back-end, there’s no denying this is a heavily modded mini-van that would be capable of taking the family off-road. Should “junior” also feel the need to ride some “rough terrain” the #Chrysler Pacifica features a 4×4 Power Wheels vehicle in the back seating area. The large panoramic-view roof gives you an excellent view of it.

The #2019 Hot Wheels mainline has had some pretty stellar #2019 New Models this year and this one ranks among the top for me. When the list was first unveiled, and I saw the #Chrysler Pacifica under the HW Race Team segment, I dreaded having to add a mini-van to my #Hot Wheels Race Team collection, BUT I should have known that Hot Wheels would deliver something so much more than a boring mini-van.

This #Chrysler Pacifica is in stores now, as it is part of the #2019 Hot Wheels “M” case assortment. Since we are very close to the end of the Hot Wheels year, I doubt we will see it recolored for 2019, and we do know now that it will be reappearing in 2020 wearing a red racing deco thanks to Leeway’s Instagram account (@leewayc).

  1. That new Chrysler Pacifica is awesome.πŸ‘I have this one in my hotwheels collection. πŸ‘

  2. Looking forward to recolors. Never been a fan of the HW livery, but the casting is fantastic and very left field.

  3. The Pacifica is a great casting, that was long overdue! Imho. And I would swear (and I do), with a gun to my head, that the tires have tread on them.
