Overall Rating
Chrysler Voyager:
The Chrysler Voyager is a minivan produced by the Chrysler division of Stellantis. In the current lineup, it is positioned as the lower-end Chrysler minivan, having replaced the Dodge Grand Caravan in 2020, below the Chrysler Pacifica.
The Chrysler Voyager was introduced in Europe in 1988, and was a rebadged version of the Dodge Caravan in the United States. 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 308 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. With a weight of 2000 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. All‑wheel drive provides excellent grip, ideal for off‑road use. The top speed reaches 180 km/h. 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.
3.8 i (166 Hp) AWD Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Provides more torque and smoother delivery than the 2.4i, benefiting from the larger displacement. AWD enhances traction.
