The Chrysler Voyager has sold millions since its introduction in 1988. These minivans were popular throughout Europe, Asia, and Oceania, but they haven’t been available in the United States until now. Discover why the Chrysler Voyager’s entry into the U.S. markets has been worth the wait!
Affordable Price
Chrysler understands that large families needing minivans must manage their money carefully. The 2020 Voyager is priced accordingly, with relatively low prices on both trims. The base model’s suggested manufacturer’s retail price is $28,480, which is far less than many other vehicles in this class, including Chrysler’s own Pacifica.
For $31,290, you’ll enjoy all the extra features of the higher LX trim. Better suspension provides a smoother ride, while the aluminum wheels are tougher than the steel ones on the base model. The automatic headlamps will switch on when required. The three-zone climate control system is another great perk. The top tier van also accommodates optional extras such as remote start and satellite radio. If you drive a lot, the optional power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats, and heated steering wheel justify an upgrade.
Strong V-6 Engine
The Voyager is more affordable than the Pacifica, but its motor is every bit as mighty. These minivans have identical 3.6-liter V-6 engines. Paired with the same nine-speed automatic transmission, the Voyager’s engine generates 287 horsepower. That’s more than enough pep to conquer hills and accelerate off the mark! It’ll also handle just as well in the urban jungle as on the open road. Car and Driver put the Voyager through its paces and found it reached 60 mph from standing in just over 7 seconds.
Spacious Design
The Voyager’s spacious design is another great selling point for families: it has space for seven passengers across three rows. This van has ample head and legroom, especially in the first and second rows, providing a comfortable ride for all its passengers!
The Stow ‘n Go third row is a great touch that improves the Voyager’s already impressive 32 cubic feet of standard cargo space. This is the same as the more expensive Pacifica. For more storage space, choose the LX. This upper trim has underfloor cubbies in front of its driver and front passenger seats.
Excellent Fuel Economy
Unlike the Pacifica, the Voyager doesn’t come in a hybrid version. However – its fuel economy figures are still impressive for this vehicle! According to the EPA, it gets 19 mpg in the city. Hit the highway, and you should get 28 mpg. Its combined mileage of 22 mpg beats many of its leading class competitors. These figures are another big tick for budget-conscious households.
With ample space and an affordable price, the Chrysler Voyager is the perfect choice for large families on a budget. If you don’t need all the bells and whistles the Pacifica offers, this budget-friendly minivan makes a great alternative! Take it for a test drive at Performance Columbus today!
