Chrysler grand voyager (2008 – 2015) review.

Chrysler Grand Voyager (2008 – 2015) At A Glance

Proper, full-sized people carriers are becoming a rare thing, but the Chrysler Grand Voyager retains the old-school theory of MPVs - it's large, comfortable and immensely spacious. Of course, focussing on those strengths has its downsides, not least in terms of looks and handling, but the Chrysler Grand Voyager isn't designed to be thrown around corners - instead it's the perfect car for larger families.

The seven-seat Grand Voyager now sits in a small but definite market niche for plush, big people carriers. It's the sort of thing well-heeled families might buy instead of a 4x4 or a big estate. It's also aimed at chauffeur and private hire companies who employ cars like this use to flog around town or ferry business types from airports to hotels and conferences.

This version is much squarer and sharper than the previous model, but there are the familiar Chrysler styling touches including a large grill but while it's big, it manages not to look too bulky. Inside there's acres of space and you can easily fit in seven adults with decent room for all. Most models come with the 2.8 CRD diesel which is strong, if not especially refined.

But the Chrysler Grand Voyager really excels in terms of praticality. All the rear seats can be individually folded away into the floor and don't have to be removed like other MPVs such as the Renault Espace . This allows you to maximise either luggage or passenger space - or have a mix of both.

It's a shame that some of the interior looks a little low-rent, especially noticeable from behind the wheel where there are some rather flimsy switches - you'd expect more given the not inconsiderable price tag. But for the rear seating system alone, the Chrysler Grand Voyager is one of the best large MPVs around.

Reviews for Chrysler Grand Voyager (2008 – 2015)'s top 3 rivals

Ask Honest John

Seven seater advice, is the cam chain about to fail on my chrysler grand voyager, deposit paid, but car damaged by dealer - should i walk away, i've bought the wrong car - can i get a refund, inside of the chrysler grand voyager (2008 – 2015).

• Boot space is 756–3296 litres

The Grand Voyager is a good example of a well-thought out, family-friendly people carrier. The two rows of rear seats collapse directly into big floor recesses that have folding covers and work as storage areas when the seats are in place. Chrysler calls this system Stow ‘n Go and there are no other seating systems as easy to use or as useful on any other car.

As a result, you don't have to haul out hefty seats to create load space and folding the rear seats is a doddle too. With all the seats down, boot space increased to a huge 3296 litres and it's the ease and speed of the system that impresses.

All the seats can be slid forward and back while legroom is superb too - the second row offers 750mm while the rearmost seats boast 790mm. There's even underfloor storage areas. The third row is a little cramped with three side by side but it's far from claustrophobic and boot space is another strong point with 756 litres. Handily the back seats can also be reversed by flipping them over - useful if you want to have a picnic in comfort and under the cover of the tailgate. A Swivel 'n Go system, which features two swivelling captain's chairs in the second row, is available as a £750 option.

The driving environment is much better than the old model. It's still not perfect - some of the plastics feel a little brittle, it feels cramped and few people will be fans of the naff wood trim. There's also still no reach adjustment on the steering wheel and no rest for your left foot - annoying on long journeys.

And as for the way all this is built, well this car is an American consumer durable, which means there's a mild but tangible cheapness about some of the materials and elements of its detailing.

This doesn't make the Grand Voyager badly made, but the way it's screwed together doesn't have the classiness Audi or even Toyota owners might expect. A relatively high mileage driver who switched cars every three or four years probably wouldn't care, but anyone driving a Grand Voyager in the middle of the next decade might see it starting to fray a little at the edges.

Still, the car will have plenty of toys to take their minds off the odd wobbly bit of plastic. There are so many to mention but the tailgate is electric, as are the sliding rear side doors, which have the novelty of electric windows that go all the way down. Rear passengers can control their own climate and the various in car entertainment systems should keep the most fractious family entertained. The optional twin folding rear video screens can show different movies or games.

Car seat chooser

Child seats that fit a Chrysler Grand Voyager (2008 – 2015)

Which car seat will suit you?

Driving Chrysler Grand Voyager (2008 – 2015)

• Engines range from 2.8 CRD to 3.8 V6
• Readers report Real MPG to be between 24–33 mpg

The Grand Voyager comes with either a 2.8-litre CRD diesel engine or a 3.8-litre V6 petrol but as you'd imagine, the latter only accounts for a handful of cars. It's the CRD that most people choose as it offers relatively affordable running costs with an average fuel economy figure of 30.4mpg, compared to just 23mpg with the V6.

Both have a six-speed automatic gearbox (with a manual override) that works unobtrusively bar a very slight surging sensation around town. The engine is willing and provides plenty of low speed pulling power and punts the car along decently the rest of the time. It's a bit vocal under hard acceleration, but has that diesel knack of quietening right down on motorways. It will accelerate from 0-62mph in a respectable 12.8 seconds but be warned that CO2 emissions of 247g/km mean car tax won't be cheap.

On the road the Grand Voyager is capable and comfortable. It rides very well, steers accurately enough and doesn't roll too much, although with a full load of passengers and luggage on board, you won't relish country lanes. The sheer size of the Grand Voyager can make parking it a challenge too and although visibility is pretty good, tight manouevres can take a while. It's far happier on the motorway where it feels relaxed and smooth.

Chrysler has focussed on safety too. Hardly unsurprising given that the previous model has an appalling safety rating with just a one star crash safety rating from Euro NCAP. This model comes loaded with safety kit, including a plethora of anti lock-brake and traction control systems plus an array of airbags, including two big, side curtain bags. It's not been crash tested yet, but it should perform far better than its predecessor.

Chrysler Grand Voyager (2008 – 2015) Models and Specs

On sale until december 2017, on sale until october 2015, on sale until december 2012, on sale until november 2010.

• Large and comfortable with generous space for seven passengers.
• Excellent Stow & Go seats that fold flat into the floor.
• Well equipped as standard.

What to watch out for

Very heavy on brakes. On one reader's car t he front discs and pads needed replacing in the first 12 months at 15,800 miles, then needed changing again at 18 months and 28,000 miles together with the rear discs and pads.

In T.S.B. 17-003-11 issued on 22-11-2011, Chrysler said noise over bumps at low speeds was most likely to come from the rear shock absorbers. (Source: New York Times Automobiles.)

Corrosion problem on leading edge of bonnet. Seems that the paint is thin, stone chips allow moisture behind the paint and they suffer from bubbling. FIAT refuses to do anything about it, as outside the 3 year paint warranty.

Combined satnav, radio, DCD player and Bluetooth on 2009 Chrysler Grand Voyager failed. Dealer offered to fit an exchange unit for £425.

Not completely dead because it sometimes fires up. Will also power up then freeze with the controls (soft touch keys) still showing.

Model History

• February 2008: All-new seven seat Chrysler Grand Voyager goes on sale
• July 2011: 2011 Model Year Voyager introduced

February 2008

All-new seven seat chrysler grand voyager goes on sale.

Updated range of petrol and diesel engines and more than 30 new features. These include heated first and second row seats, rear-view interior conversation mirror, a removable torch in the rear quarter panel, electric windows in the power sliding second-row doors, movable LED reading lamps and automatic three-zone climate control for all passengers.

To keep passengers entertained, optional dual-DVD system with two screens so second-row passengers can play a game or watch a different film from those in the third row. The MyGIG infotainment system offers MP3 player compatibility, a touch screen and voice-controlled navigation system as well being able to store up to approximately 1600 songs on an integrated 20GB hard drive.

Safety equipment includes traction control and ESP, tyre-pressure monitoring, front and all-row side-curtain airbags, as well as seven full-size seats with fixings for three Isofix child seats all come as standard across the range. Big: 5,094mm (16' 9") c 1,997mm (6' 7"). Weighs a hefty 2,118kg.

Stow ‘n Go seating and storage system means the Grand Voyager can be transformed from a seven-passenger people carrier to a two-person cargo vehicle in less than 30 seconds. And because all of the seats store in the floor you don’t have to struggle to pull the seats out or find space in the garage to store them.

Chrysler will also be offering the Swivel ‘n Go seating as an option for the first time on the Grand Voyager Limited. This features second-row covered floor storage bins and second-row quad seats that swivel 180 degrees to face rearward for conversational seating. A removable table fits between the second and third rows. A one-touch power-stowing third-row seat with power recline can be adjusted into four different positions with a single push of a button.

The Chrysler Grand Voyager is available with six-speed automatic transmission and either a 3.8-litre V6 engine with 193bhp and 305Nm of torque or a 2.8-litre diesel engine with 163bhp and 360 Nm of torque at 1800 rpm (30.4mpg combined and 247g/km C02). Three equipment levels – LX, Touring and Limited will be available.

On sale from 1st May 2009 and with only 100 models available, the 25th Anniversary Grand Voyager is priced at £32,600 on-the-road. Interior equipment includes leather upholstery, dual screen rear DVD entertainment system and satellite navigation including uconnect phone with voice recognition. The exterior equipment features xenon headlamps, chrome mesh grille, LED daytime running lights, revised lower front fascia, special paint and badging and an engraved commemorative keyring. Powered by a 2.8 diesel engine, it provides acceleration from 0-62mph in 12.8 seconds plus a top speed of 115mph, with a combined fuel consumption figure of 30.4 mpg.

2011 Model Year Voyager introduced

It carries Chrysler’s new winged badge, but that’s not the only change made to the 2011 model year Grand Voyager. The latest in a long line of luxury people carriers – Chrysler invented the MPV in 1983 and has since sold more than 13 million examples – has been given a raft of enhancements for the model year change.

Most notable is the new, more premium looking front end, featuring a revised grille, bonnet and lower fascia. It’s the first Chrysler model to adopt the new winged badge. The seven-seater’s rear gets enhanced LED tail lamps, new rear bumper and revised tailgate.

There is also the new Stow ‘n Place roof rack system, standard on Touring and Limited models. Stow ‘n Place offers the added convenience of allowing the vehicle’s roof crossbars to be stowed longitudinally alongside the roof rails when not in use.

Inside, the new Grand Voyager has improved Stow ‘n Go seating. Since November 2004, Chrysler has led the market with this award-winning, never-copied, feature. For 2011, the new second row Stow ‘n Go seats are larger, more comfortable captain’s chairs, which feature a new ‘fold-into-the-floor’ one-touch mechanism. The system automatically drops the head rest and tumbles the seat forward, ready to be stowed – all with just one lever.

The interior of the 2011MY Grand Voyager also benefits from the introduction of new features. Specifically for the entry LX model, there’s a new leather wrapped steering wheel, steering wheel audio controls and cruise control as standard.

Touring models benefit from the addition of Uconnect Phone bluetooth connectivity with voice recognition, auto dimming rear view mirror, AM/FM/CD/DVD radio with a 6.5-inch touch screen, 30GB hard disk drive and rear reversing camera. Limited models also receive blind spot monitoring, crosspath detection and new Nappa leather upholstery.

All Grand Voyagers are powered by a 2.8-litre CRD diesel engine producing 161bhp at 3800rpm and 265lb ft of torque. This gives the people carrier a 0-62mph time of 12.8 seconds and a top speed of 115mph. Yet the car can return 33.6mpg (combined) fuel economy, and has a CO2 figure of 222g/km.

Chrysler Grand Voyager (2008-2015) review

The boxy chrysler grand voyager is a practical alternative to mainstream mpvs, and it majors on long-distance comfort.

1.0 out of 5

• Great seating system, huge load area, refinement
• Poor economy, vague handling, dismal safety ratings

The Chrysler Grand Voyager has made big improvements over its predecessors, but the practical MPV still falls some way behind European alternatives like the Ford Galaxy and SEAT Alhambra . It's a capable motorway cruiser, but the Grand Voyager rolls and wallows on a twisty road, and the 2.8-litre diesel is unacceptably thirsty when compared to the likes of the Volkswagen Sharan . However, the superbly practical seating set-up and colossal load area make the otherwise underwhelming Chrysler an incredibly practical family car. One major sticking point is the Grand Voyager's price, as the basic model costs as much as the top-of-the range Galaxy.

Engines, performance and drive

The Chrysler Grand Voyager makes for a great long-distance cruiser. Motorway refinement is great, and the big diesel engine means performance isn't blunted when you're carrying six passengers. However, take the Chrysler to something a little twistier and the Grand Voyager’s bulk becomes all too apparent. Stacked against a Ford Galaxy, the big Chrysler rolls unacceptably in the corners and doesn’t come close in terms of driving dynamics.

MPG, CO2 and Running Costs

Alongside European rivals like the Volkswagen Sharan and SEAT Alhambra, the Grand Voyager is at an automatic disadvantage due to its sheer bulk. The Chrysler is over 500kg heavier than the SEAT, and economy suffers as a result. Managing just 33.6mpg on the combined cycle, both the SEAT and VW are capable of closer to 50mpg. Emissions are equally awful, with the Chrysler churning out 222g/km of CO2. The Grand Voyager’s saving grace is its generous equipment, with even base-spec cars getting three-zone climate control and electric windows as standard.

Interior, design and technology

If you like a car that looks like a van, then the Chrysler Grand Voyager should be top of your list. It has a typical, boxy, American design, making it an imposing thing to look at. The front-end is characteristically Chrysler, with flashes of chrome everywhere. Inside, the cabin is a big improvement on the model it replaces, but some of the plastics still feel cheap and the design is dull.

Practicality, comfort and boot space

Usability is the Chrysler Grand Voyager’s trump card. The excellent Stow ‘n Go seating system impresses, with all five rear seats folding simply and quickly into the floor – revealing a gigantic 3,296-litres of boot space. Compare this to the SEAT Alhambra, and the Spanish MPV falls nearly 1,000 litres short of the colossal Chrysler. The second row of seats rotate through 180 degrees, which gives a usable office space – making this the MPV of choice for chauffeurs.

Reliability and Safety

Chrysler doesn’t feature in our Driver Power Survey, but their reliability record does appear slightly patchy. The Grand Voyager is also a poor performer in the Euro NCAP crash tests – scoring a dismal two stars for occupant safety. The Ford Galaxy and SEAT Alhambra both manage a full five stars in the same tests. However, the Chrysler does get a host of airbags, and stability control is standard across the range.

Written by David Ross Published: 6 June 2019 Updated: 6 June 2019

When it comes to large and comfortable people carriers, Chrysler has always been adept at producing good value cars. Unfortunately quality and refinement haven’t been up to scratch and worse still, the 2001 model suffered from a shocking Euro NCAP safety record. The 2008 model is a far superior offering that feels solidly built but is still well equipped and hugely versatile thanks to the ingenious Stow ‘n Go seating system that allows you to fold all the chairs flat.

However it’s not a nimble on-road companion, and the diesel engine can’t compete with rivals for economy or smoothness.

2021 Chrysler Voyager Review

See Edmunds pricing data

Has Your Car's Value Changed?

Used car values are constantly changing. Edmunds lets you track your vehicle's value over time so you can decide when to sell or trade in.

• Low pricing for the minivan class
• Excellent all-around visibility
• Second- and third-row seats aren't as roomy or comfortable as rivals
• Nine-speed transmission occasionally exhibits clunky or slow shifts
• Seat padding is firm

What's new

• Improved collision warning, pedestrian detection and automatic braking systems
• Part of the second Voyager generation introduced for 2020

The Chrysler Voyager is, simply put, a less expensive version of the Chrysler Pacifica. We're all for less expensive, but there are a few trade-offs. For example, you don't get the Pacifica's nifty second-row Stow 'n Go seats that easily fold into the floor when not needed. Instead, to create maximum cargo storage capacity in the Voyager, you must unlatch and remove the second-row seating.

Cost to Drive Cost to drive estimates for the 2021 Chrysler Voyager L 4dr Minivan (3.6L 6cyl 9A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.49 per gallon for regular unleaded in North Dakota.

Now, for the 2021 model year, there is further separation between a Pacifica and a Voyager. The Pacifica gets a styling refresh, wider availability of all-wheel drive, a new Pinnacle luxury trim level and more. The Voyager does not. Aside from improved safety technology, it is the same as it was in 2020.

Chrysler does, however, pass a torch to the 2021 Voyager. Now that the positively ancient Dodge Grand Caravan has gone to that big scrapyard in the sky, the Voyager stands as the least expensive minivan on the market. But you might find that spending a little more to get the more fully featured Pacifica, or other vans such as the Honda Odyssey or Toyota Sienna, will be worth it in the long run.

Chrysler Voyager

This new minivan is positioned between the long-running Dodge Grand Caravan and the current Chrysler Pacifica, on which it's based. The Voyager is essentially the two cheapest trims of the Pacifica, the L and LX, spun off under a new model name. (The fleet-only LXi version is headed primarily for rental car lots.)

• 9-speed Automatic
• 3.6-liter V6 (287 hp)

The Voyager, and its twin the Dodge Caravan, was redesigned for 2001. Although engine power increased, acceleration remains lackluster and fuel economy unimpressive with the popular 3.3-liter, 180-hp V6. A harsh and unresponsive 2.4-liter, 150-hp four-cylinder, shared with the PT Cruiser, continues as the base engine. Powertrain shortcomings aside, the Voyager rides fairly comfortably, and its handling is secure. The third-row seat is a handy 50/50 split bench that's fairly easy to remove, though not as versatile as some competitors' fold-into-the-floor designs. An entry-level eC model joined the lineup for 2002. Optional power-adjustable pedals were also added.

Chrysler brought back the Voyager in 2020 to split its minivan offering as a lower-cost version of the Pacifica. The Voyager takes over for the L and LX trim levels, which account for about a third of Pacificas sold, thereby offering a more affordable entry into the minivan line. It uses the same 3.6-liter V6 engine as the Pacifica, matched with a nine-speed automatic transmission. That combination delivers good power in the Pacifica, where it returned 21 mpg overall. The Voyager does not offer key advanced safety systems, such as forward collision warning or automatic emergency braking. At least, blind spot warning is optional. 

All Voyagers became Chryslers since the Plymouth brand was phased out. The Chrysler Voyager/Dodge Caravan twins are still competitive. They ride fairly quietly and handle reasonably well. A handy second, left-side sliding door is optional, but power operation isn't offered. The 3.3-liter, 158-hp V6 is the engine to choose. Other engine choices are a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a 3.0-liter V6. The front seats provide decent support. The middle and rear seats are easy to unhitch for maximum cargo room. They're very heavy, but small wheels make them easier to move.

What's New for 2021?

Not much has changed on the Voyager for 2021, but Chrysler has improved the van's optional driver-assistance hardware to include updated radar and camera sensors which can detect pedestrians and alert the driver or attempt to mitigate an accident. The Voyager's suite of driver-assistance features remains optional for 2021, as part of the Safety Tec package.

Pricing and Which One to Buy

The price of the 2021 Chrysler Voyager starts at $29,655 and goes up to $32,365 depending on the trim and options.

Unless you're prepared to go with the barest-boned minivan on the market, we recommend you look at the LX. While neither trim provides much in the way of amenities, the LX at least offers a more compliant suspension tune than the L as well as automatic headlamps, aluminum wheels (instead of steel), three-zone manual climate control, and superior exterior lighting. Plus, if you want options such as remote start, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, satellite radio, and/or a built-in DVD player to entertain the kiddos, the LX is the only way to go.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

Mechanically, the Voyager is identical to the Pacifica, using the same 287-hp 3.6-liter V-6 engine and nine-speed automatic transmission to drive the front wheels. In our testing, the Pacifica managed a 7.3-second sprint to 60 mph. Given this van forgoes some of the features that weigh down its brother, the Voyager likely weighs less than the Pacifica and thus has the potential to beat that time. Don't hold your breath for a hybrid. Chrysler will reserve that powertrain for the pricier minivan in its lineup.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG

We haven't had the opportunity to test the Voyager on our 200-mile highway fuel-economy loop, but for reference, the last nonhybrid Pacifica we tested achieved 31 mpg. The Chrysler vans both earn EPA estimates of 19 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. The Voyager's 22 mpg combined score betters that of the Kia Sedona and matches that of the Honda Odyssey , both chief competitors.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

As with the exterior styling, powertrain, and chassis, the Voyager's interior mimics that of the Pacifica, albeit with fewer creature comforts. You won't find leather seats, in-dash navigation, automatic climate control, or power-sliding side doors here. What's more, the Voyager provides Stow 'n Go capability only for the rear bench seats. If you want the second row to fold into the floor, you'll need to shell out around $35,000 for the base Pacifica. You can, however, tuck away valuables in the underfloor cubbies in front of the captain's chairs if you opt for the LX trim. Behind the third row, the Voyager boasts the same 32 cubic feet of cargo volume as the Pacifica. So while we have yet to put this van through our practical space tests, we feel safe saying that the Voyager will be able accommodate what its brother could (i.e., 12 carry-on suitcases with the rear seats up).

Infotainment and Connectivity

Chrysler provides a 3.5-inch digital display in the gauge cluster, a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system in the center stack, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, and a six-speaker audio system with active noise cancellation. Either trim level provides Bluetooth streaming and integrated voice control, but only the Voyager LX allows for SiriusXM radio. Need to entertain the little ones? A rear-seat overhead DVD player can be had on the LX for $995.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

Overall safety rating (nhtsa).

The 2021 Voyager earned a five-star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ( NHTSA ), but it wasn't named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety ( IIHS ). Looking for driver-assistance features ? You won't find many in the Voyager and nothing of the like is offered as standard. Key safety features include:

• Available rear parking sensors with rear automated emergency braking
• Available blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert

Warranty and Maintenance Coverage

Chrysler's warranty coverage is fairly typical for the class. The Toyota Sienna offers more value here in the form of a two-year/25,000-mile complimentary scheduled maintenance plan.

• Limited warranty covers three years or 36,000 miles
• Powertrain warranty covers five years or 60,000 miles
• No complimentary scheduled maintenance
