Lancia Voyager: seven-seater MPV, engines and trims
The Lancia Voyager is a large seven-seater MPV, sold from 2011 to 2015 as the Italian brand's version, built on the Chrysler Grand Voyager platform. We look at the engines on offer, how the trims differ, and what to check before buying.
Voyager in brief
This Voyager is essentially a Chrysler Grand Voyager with a different badge and some Lancia-specific details. It's a large MPV designed for families and road trips: spacious interior, sliding doors, and seven seats.
A key feature is the Stow 'n Go seating system, allowing the second and third-row seats to fold into the floor and create a flat loading area.
Which version to choose
This model was produced once, but in Europe, it's often found as the Chrysler Grand Voyager – technically, they're almost identical. The Lancia version offers a unique design and trim names.
When choosing, focus on the engine, gearbox, and how well the car has been maintained. Large MPVs often clock up high mileage, so check the service history.
Engines and gearboxes
The most popular engine in Europe was the 2.8-litre diesel (around 163–178hp), while the petrol option was the 3.6-litre V6 Pentastar (around 280hp).
Most cars come with a six-speed automatic gearbox. The diesel is more economical, while the V6 petrol is quieter and more powerful, but pricier to run.
Families who do a lot of driving often find diesel engines to be the best choice, while those who drive less frequently might consider a V6.
What to check when buying a used Voyager
In the diesel version, check the turbo, EGR, and particulate filter, as these cars require regular maintenance and high-quality fuel. Ensure the engine isn't smoking and there are no oil leaks.
Test the automatic transmission: shifts should be smooth, without jolts or hesitation. Also, check that the sliding doors (especially electric ones) and the Stow 'n Go seating system work.
In the cabin, inspect the electrical equipment, multimedia system, rear climate control, and each seat. From underneath, check for any corrosion or leaks.
