Chrysler Grand Voyager (01-08) - Review

Last Updated: 01 February 2007
The Grand Voyager is a Chrysler Voyager with an extra 13 inches of length built into the rear giving owners the chance to carry the maximum number of people plus plenty of luggage. Before December 2004, removing seats from the Grand Voyager was a similar arduous task to doing it in the Voyager, particularly with the third-row bench seat. But along came 'Stow 'n' Go' which made it the most useful feature of any people carrier. Cleverly designed passenger seats could be folded into the floor of the car when not in use. Other, more recent people carriers, are better to drive and cheaper to run, however.

Comfort

Air conditioning is standard and the seating positions offer occupants a good view of surroundings. Electric front windows are standard, and all models have the option of electric sliding rear passenger doors. Diesels are noisy and could become tiring if called upon frequently to overtake other traffic.

Practicality

This model comes into its own if you've got seven people AND their luggage to carry - it can just about do both. Removing the seats isn't an easy task - they're bulky, very heavy and awkward to store. However, since December 2004 the Grand Voyager has been transformed with the 'Stow 'n' Go' seating system. The underpinnings have been redesigned to accommodate second and third row fold-flat seats. When folded flat the Grand Voyager is as roomy as a van in the back, and the best part about them is that when the seats are being used the compartments used to store them in when folded are available to store other items.

Behind the wheel

The Voyager has quite an upmarket looking interior, perhaps matching the promise of its exterior styling, but is let down by some cheap-feeling materials on the dashboard. Visibility isn't too bad, although the windscreen pillar is a little heavy. Parking sensors are standard on Limited and Limited XS models.
