Chrysler Grand Voyager: longer wheelbase, engines and trims
Chrysler Grand Voyager — the long-wheelbase version of the Voyager, most commonly chosen in Europe and Lithuania for its spacious interior. We look at how it differs from the standard Voyager, which engines are found in the used market, and what to check before buying.
Grand Voyager in brief
Grand Voyager – the long-wheelbase version of the Voyager, so it offers more space for passengers and luggage, especially when all rows of seats are raised. As a result, it has become one of the most popular versions of this model in Europe.
This is a one-box design tailored for large families and long journeys: sliding side doors, flexible seating arrangement, and reasonably comfortable ride.
Which one to choose
Earlier generations (up to the early 2000s) are simpler and quite outdated. They are chosen only as the most affordable option but require particularly thorough inspection.
The fourth generation (around 2001–2007) is popular in the used market, featuring the „Stow'n Go“ system where the second and third-row seats fold into the floor. The fifth generation (from 2008 onwards) introduced a more modern interior, more equipment, and swiveling seats „Swivel'n Go“ in some versions. It's pricier but better equipped.
Engines and transmissions
The most common diesel engines are the 2.5 and 2.8-litre CRD. Petrol engines include the 3.3 and 3.8-litre V6, and the latest versions feature a 3.6-litre V6.
The Grand Voyager is most often found with an automatic gearbox. The choice of petrol V6 engines is convenient for driving, but fuel consumption is higher than that of diesels.
What to check when buying a used Grand Voyager
Check the sliding doors – they should open and close smoothly, with no judders in the electric versions. Test the seat folding mechanism and all seatbelts.
The automatic gearbox should shift smoothly. Check the turbo on the diesel engine and the fuel system carefully, as the engine works hard in a vehicle of this size. Ask about the service history.
Inspect the body for corrosion, especially the sills, doors and wheel arches. Test the air conditioning, heating and all electrical equipment.
