I like the idea of this van if only because it's the first hybrid/PHEV implementation in this segment. Maybe it'll get people out of less efficient SUV's and back into minivans?

The styling is pretty slick, too. Subjective, of course!

Keep in mind FCA designed a custom route for the journalists to drive in warm California that would be EV-mode friendly.

That said, likely any one of us here would be able to get better numbers out of it than the official rating.
