2023 Chrysler Voyager entered when the production of old Dodge Caravan finally stopped, and left a gap in the market for cheap minivans. Based on the ritzier Chrysler Pacifica, the Voyager wears old school fashion. The styling is a rip-off from the pre-facelift Pacifica and has been stripped off of niceties. This incudes high-tech driver-assists and leather upholstery to keep it in budget-friendly price. The V6 engine provides ample power, and enough room for seven passenger across three rows of seats. There are some options which helps upgrade the Voyager to modern standards. But the van’s value-oriented positioning makes it a tough sell against better equipped rivals such as the Honda Odyssey, the Kia Carnival, and the Toyota Sienna.

What’s New?
As the Voyager is a low-key van, it goes fleet-only for 2023. This means it’s no longer available to buy for the general public. The base L trim has been removed, leaving the LX as the only option. The van gets the new Uconnect 5 infotainment system, and Stow ‘n Go second-row seats. Also, power sliding rear doors, an electric rear liftgate, a new in-cabin air filtration system, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel are all as standard. The Safety and Premium Group package adds many more features. Like in-dash navigation, a larger 10.1-inch infotainment display, and SiriusXM satellite radio. Also, Silver Mist is now an available exterior color.
Engine & Performance
If compared mechanically, the Voyager is identical to the Pacifica, using the same 287-hp 3.6-liter V6 engine. Paired with nine-speed automatic transmission for powering the front wheels. The Pacifica has a 0-60 mph run time of 7.3-second. Given this van has a ton of features that weigh down its brother, the Voyager weighs less than the Pacifica. The car doesn’t lack safety features when equipped with Safety and Premium Group Package. This includes rear parking sensors, rear cross-traffic alerts, and automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection. With a V6 powering the van, the car is likely to get slow during journeys and heavy loads. As this is available for fleet only, taxi drivers or used for other fleet purposes will find great help from the powerful engine.
