Chrysler Grand Voyager Review

Rating

Quick Summary

Recommended. If you need space for a big family, versatility and the possibility of entertainment options such as roof-mounted DVD screens, this Chrysler is worth serious consideration.

Road Test

Chrysler's big people carrier reaches its fifth iteration, and is now available only as the Grand Voyager (the smaller Voyager's role has been taken by the Dodge Journey) featuring seven seats, a large boot and a choice of either a 2.8 litre V6 turbodiesel or a 3.8 litre V6 petrol, both coming with automatic transmissions as standard.

This is a big vehicle offering a great deal of room and versatility. Seat folding is easy, the loadbay is big when the rear row is stowed, and vast with the middle pair folded. Oddments space is generous all round too.

There are plenty of options that are just the job for keeping a large family occupied, including multiple DVD screens and a powerful sound system.

In the spirit of keeping passengers happy, it includes three-zone climate control (it allows different temperatures to be set for different parts of the cabin), electrically opening sliding side doors and curtain airbags.

The Grand Voyager's road manners are improved too; it's not as composed as the smaller Ford Galaxy, but it's surprisingly manageable. Its boxy shape makes parking slightly less challenging, but parking aids are only available on the top model. The downside is that both diesel and petrol versions emit a large amount of carbon dioxide so the tax disc will not come cheap. The diesel emits 247g/km while the petrol kicks out a staggering 294g/km, which is comparable to supercars.
