Descendants of Chrysler are not happy with the way Stellantis deals with the American heritage. Complaints are also being heard from the dealer organization. These also concern Dodge, Ram and Jeep, but it is not surprising that some people are particularly anxious about the future of Chrysler. Now that the 300 is no longer built, that brand only offers one car, and that is the Pacifica. So a Minivan (MPV in our case), a type of car that has also been in decline in the US for years. However, Chrysler is adding a second model to the line-up, but it is not much more than an extra option in the drop-down menu on the brand’s site. The Chrysler Voyager is nothing more than the basic version of the Pacifica, a stripped-down version that is pleasantly affordable with a starting price of ‘less than 40,000 dollars’. The Voyager will replace the basic version of the Pacifica for model year 2025 and history will repeat itself, because a Chrysler Voyager was introduced in a similar manner in 2019. We get the impression that the car has been continuously available for ‘fleet sales’, such as rental companies, in recent years, but now it is also available again to the ordinary consumer. No shortage of space. Apart from equipment differences, the most important optical difference between Voyager and Pacifica is that the Voyager still has the original front of this model. The Pacifica received a facelift in 2020, the Voyager still has the old front. ‘Chrysler Voyager’ is a name that was unknown to Americans until 2019. Chrysler applied that name to the export version of the Dodge (Grand) Caravan, Plymouth Voyager and Chrysler Town & Country from the 1980s onwards. The combination of the Chrysler brand name and the Voyager type name did not appear in North America until this budget Pacifica was launched. . ‘Pacifica’ is a name that was stuck on a Chrysler crossover between 2004 and 2008, but has been on the successor to the Town & Country since 2017.
