It originally evolved with the Caravan, the Plymouth Voyager, and the Chrysler Town & Country. In the United States, the Chrysler Voyager nameplate replaced the short-wheelbase version of the Plymouth Voyager following the folding of the Plymouth division by DaimlerChrysler AG in 2001, and was discontinued in 2003.

III Overview:
Chrysler Voyager (III). With 280 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~11 l/100km). With a weight of 1880 kg, it falls in the mid‑range.

A spacious vehicle designed to transport passengers comfortably, often with sliding doors. With seating for 7, it’s perfect for larger families.
Tested in 1999, the Voyager III received a poor 1-star rating from Euro NCAP, with a strike-through indicating a high risk of life-threatening injury due to structural instability during impact.
