Family Chrysler: Grand Voyager V. Chrysler Grand Voyager V - Multisaded Option New Chrysler Grand Voyager

The American company Chrysler has updated the already loved Many Grand Voyager model. Modernization touched the design of the exterior and interior, technical characteristics and equipping Chrysler Voyager.

The appearance of the minivan has undergone a number of changes. Although Voyager retains the impressive dimensions typical for all Americans, the car does not look cumbersome. Thanks to the efforts of designers, the car has acquired elegant features. A little rude lines softened, giving cars a more presentable appearance, without losing some brutality.

The car was put on large, corresponding to its dimensions alloy wheels on 17. Special chic appearance of the Voyager give chrome elements and factory tinting. Also, the car now decorates the radiator grille with the chrysler emblem. On the roof of the new car chrome longitudinal rails. Upgraded Chrysler became a bright luxury representative. In general, the new Chrysler Grand Voyager design has become more modern.

In comparison with the preceding version, the Voyager has grown a little.

A wide color palette has become a pleasant bonus. The models in the colors of metallic and other colors are presented.

Interior

Updated five-door minivan is very spacious inside. The Russian buyer offers in a single configuration. Salon Voyager is made of leather.

However, the location of the seats is very different from the collections of other manufacturers. The creators of Grand Voyager moved from the typical layout of the 2/2/3 salon, placing the seat otherwise - 2/3/2. This is done to increase the level of comfort of passengers.

The seats in the third row are equipped with an electric drive and arranged at an angle, which makes long-lasting trips not at all tedious. The rear seats are folded into a smooth floor or one to another, with a slight press of several buttons, which makes it possible to significantly increase the volume and so quite a spacious trunk (about 940 liters).

The main concept of interior design is the combination of comfort and functionalism. Along the salon there are various kinds of niches and pockets designed for the convenience of passengers and the driver. The steering wheel is wide, with leather trim, it is very convenient to hold in your hands.

The salon has a good level of noise insulation. Voyager is equipped with six airbags, climate control, rear view chamber, acoustic parking system. Non-standard location of the Akpp Christler Voyager - another highlight of this American. On the control panel console there is a touchscreen display on which the video from the rear cameras is displayed. The multimedia system at a sufficiently high level, although not overloaded with technical innovations.

Design Chrysler Grand Voyager and Reviews of it can be seen on the site.

Price and equipment

Thus, we can say that in Chrysler Voyager there is everything you need for the comfort of the driver and passengers, but at the same time, the salon is not overloaded by anything.

If you wish, you can supplement the basic configuration of the Americans with some devices to your taste and wallet. You can equip the auto multimedia system for passengers, a roof hatch or navigation system at your discretion. Additional tuning will cost you from 20,000 p. and higher.

The impressive size of the minivan has a fairly impressive price. The price for the new Chrysler Grand Voyager without a run and with the basic package begins with 3.3 million rubles. American, with a slight mileage and fresh year, will cost you not much cheaper, about 2.5-2.8 million rubles.

Specifications

The developers placed under the hood of the updated Voyager a fairly powerful V-shaped six-cylinder gasoline engine. The engine volume is 3.6, and power - 283 hp Which allows the family car to accelerate to 100 km / h in just 9.5 seconds. The maximum speed of cars is 209 km / h.

There are a diesel variation of this car. For a diesel engine, a four-cylinder turbocharged engine of 2.8 dt, with a capacity of 163 hp The Voyager diesel version develops a speed of 100 km / h in 12.8 seconds. The engine has an overall arrangement. Voyager is equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission, with the possibility of manual switching.

The car has a front-wheel drive. The reborn chrysler does not depend on the front suspension and semi-dependent rear. The creators of Chrysler Grand Voyager provided minivan front ventilated disc brakes and disk rear.

Test Drive

Chrysler distinguishes the softness and smoothness of the course, although the car was designed for ideal American roads. It easily easily in turns for its sizes. Despite not a big ground clearance, Voyager is quite passable, although the front drive does not always cope. In the Americans installed power steering, which greatly facilitates control.

ACAP when driving on the highway, no complaints causes, but in urban conditions it is possible to face some troubles - there are delays when switching transmissions, jerk.

Reviews

See the updated Chrysler Grand Voyager and the reviews about it can be on the site. The owners of this car emphasize the high level of comfort, large sizes and capacity of the cabin. Based on the reviews of Chrysler Voyager, it becomes clear, a substantial minus has become too small engine volume for a machine with a sufficiently large fuel consumption.

Despite all this, the new Chrysler Grand Voyager is the perfect option for long trips and travel. Looking at Chrysler Voyager and reviews about him, you can come to the conclusion that attracts in the American, first of all its size. The design of Chrysler Voyager and technical characteristics are quite satisfying the owners.

With the repair of Chrysler Voyager, there will be no problems, the details are in free access. Even with such a serious problem as a vehicle breakdown, there is the possibility of purchasing contract engines. Looking around Chrysler Voyager reviews, you realize that the price of minivan is too high.

This model is a twin priority of a whole class ̶ of the minivan segment and its creators know a sense in creating such cars. Starting from the first generation of one-uniform, the Americans offered their customers a model with an elevated level of capacity, comfort and equipment, while the machine has reached its technological apparatics in the fifth, in the account, generation. Why exactly the last generation of Grand Vojer became a commercial success and for which he fell in love with consumers? We will try to figure it out below.

The first Chrysler (Plymouth) Grand Voyager saw the light in the distant 1984. This car has become a kind of golden middle between the house on wheels and a wagon, and his family focus provided the model a large audience.

At the same time, the GM concern decided not to stop at what was achieved and after some time brought the Grand Voyager to the Western European market, where he also gained enormous popularity.

Subsequent three generations of the model stably kept in the fight against competitors due to the optimal price and knowledge. However, in the mid-2000th, the situation began to develop not in favor of Chrysler ̶ Opponents seriously began to register the American minivan on the market, because of which the leadership of the brand decided to give them a decent fire.

This began the development of Chrysler Grand Voyager Fifth Generation, which was presented to the public in 2008.

When creating a new Grand Voyager, Chrysler specialists tried to take into account all the qualities for which buyers loved its predecessors so, namely, for simplicity and functionality. At the same time, the successor received an attractive design and rich equipment.

Equipment depended on the selected modification and included:

• Climate control into three zones.
• Electric windows front, rear doors.
• Servo drives and heated mirrors of the side view.
• Electric drives and ventilation of the driver's chair.
• Heating front armchairs.

In 2011, Chrysler subjected the Grand Voyager to the upgrade procedure. Outside, bumpers have changed, radiator grille, sidelord mirror housings and wheel design. Inside, the quality of the finishing materials is improved, the new steering wheel and dashboard are installed, the architecture of the center console and the tunnel is reworked.

The list of equipment has been replenished with a portable multimedia complex for the rear passengers, folding armrests for the seats of the second row and another options.

In 2015, Grand Voyager was removed from production, and a pacification model came to replace him.

Why does Chrysler now use the patient's name?

The company is positioned by the successor as the personification of the new style of the brand and do not want to associate it with the previous values, mainly ̶ with deliberate simplicity.

The price for the pacifik in Russia begins with a mark of 3 million 899 thousand rubles.

What is the cost of Chrysler Grand Voyager in the secondary market? The average price of the American minivan is 1 million rubles.

Specifications

Power gamma model consists of:

• Gasoline engines 3.8 and 3.6 liters. Power is 193, 283 horsepower, respectively.
• Turbodiesel engines 2.8 liters. They are able to generate 150, 163 forces.

All power plants work together with automatic transmission to six steps.

Basic model parameters:

When creating Grand Voyager, Chrysler engineers applied the front-wheel drive platform. It is worth noting that the minivan pendant is based on an independent scheme, a semi-dependent beam is installed behind.

Owner review

On the Internet, there is a large amount of information dedicated to this model ̶ are interesting articles, video. At the same time, a separate group is to highlight the reviews of minivan owners, which can help when buying or clarify the nuances of everyday operation.

Chrysler Grand Voyager was purchased new in the configuration with an engine 3.6 liters. At the moment, the mileage is 54 thousand kilometers. It is necessary to make a reservation in advance that the American dispatch is used as a second car in the family, so we go on a trip either when you need to be purchased with something volume in the store.

In terms of reliability ̶ no comments. Only consumables and materials are changed.

As for personal conclusions, they will be discussed below.

Advantages:

• Excellent accelerating dynamics.
• Beautiful transformation of the cabin.
• High level of driving comfort.
• Functional multimedia complex.

Disadvantages:

• Weak noise insulation.
• Unimportant term resistance at high speeds.
• Huge fuel consumption (18 liters in a mixed cycle).

I do not plan to sell the car. I think it will still serve our family the next couple of years, although every year to contain so powerful and voracious minivan is becoming more difficult ...

Test Drive

Appearance

Chrysler Grand Voyager looks monumental. This kind of it gives it an aluminum grille of the radiator with a large emblem of the brand, strict body lines, laconic bumpers. On the other hand, it is impossible not to note some aggression, which manifests itself in the extended arches of the wheels, as well as the rear spoiler.

Interior decoration

Salon is extremely functional. Here you can find a huge set of secret niches for petty boosted, cup holders. All this helps a lot when long-distance travel ̶ when it is necessary to rationally place things.

The dashboard is read perfectly due to a large font and unobtrusive illumination. The on-board computer is quite informative and produces a lot of useful data.

The driver will be able to conveniently settle in its place through electrical adjustments of the pedal node, steering column and armchairs. The seat itself is widely and almost does not fix the body, but will provide comfort with a long trip due to the ventilation function.

The second-row chairs are adjusted not only in the longitudinal plane and tilting the back, but also capable of unfolding 360 degrees. Passengers of the Additional range gallery will be comfortable, but provided that there is no more than 165 centimeters.

The basic volume of the luggage compartment is 748 liters. If you wish, you can achieve an impressive 4550 liters ̶ only to fold all the back of the back of the cabin.

Riding Properties

Motor 3.6 liters has excellent elasticity and good pickups on medium turnover. However, the Grand Voyager is accelerated not too rapidly. The reason for this ̶ slow switching of an automatic transmission, which also suffers from jerks and an illogical algorithm of gear selection.

As for manageability, it is relatively good. The stability of the car is high enough high. When turning, the viorations also observe stability and predictability, although the demolition of the front axle still begins very early.

The suspension practically ignores the irregularities and joints of insignificant sizes. However, on large potholes, the car can noticeably shook their saddles than violating their riding comfort.

Results: Chrysler Grand Voyager has a lot of advantages, among which you can allocate good comfort, functionality and an impressive list of equipment. However, engineers would not prevent more scrupulously hide over the setting of an automatic transmission that annoys many of their work principle.

Judging by reviews on the Internet, in general, the owner of the Voyager is satisfied with the Voyager. Therefore, each of them sooner or later will subconsciously pull into the few Motor Deconsions of Chrysler, at least just to see, and what is this "beast" - a new Chrysler Voyager? And is it worth looking clinging towards him?

Accustomed to the presence of a certain choice and spent prices in the secondary market, Voyholders can be upset by learning that the last generation is sold in our single version. And the fact that it turned out to be the most equipped and with the most powerful engine, of course, was reflected in price. In addition, if earlier it was possible to choose between the "short" and "long" versions, now only the last one remained that the GRAND is called. As a result, non-alternative 2,177,000 rubles and the title of the second in the high cost of the minivan of the Russian market. As a result, meager sales. But is it just in price?

By the way, exactly the same Grand Voyager at the most expensive execution of Limited in the United States for our money costs 1,370,000 rubles. Do not rush to blame Russian sellers in greed. Only customs clearance of this car on the border of the Russian Federation costs about 900,000 rubles, not counting the taxes, fees, delivery and extra charge ... at our retail price, you might think that dealers sell Grand Voyager ... almost "in minus."

From what side do not look, Chrysler Grand Voyager is a typical "American" without any compromise. By monumentality and loadability of the appearance, the origin is visible for the vest - and this is a huge plus first for the breed: the abundance of chromium, the milk-white color and toning logically completes the formation of the image. An interesting point - the surrounding attention is paid to the car. But this model is more than five years ...

But the most important thing is that Chrysler distinguishes not only from all of its Europeanoncourts, but also from the predecessor, the solidity. The previous Voyager was the personification of the American family coziness - with smooth lines in design, two sofas in the cabin, beige finish and lever "AUTOMA" on the steering column. The new Grand Voyager is an office on wheels. Square, cold, strict, and ... some kind of soulless.

But if you forget about nostalgia and subjective sensations, it turns out that for family pragmatic purposes, this machine is still fits perfectly. Do not problem get driving. Only high people may not have enough adjustment ranges, even taking into account the presence of a purely American option - adjustment of the pedal node. But there is a free space - at least stand, even lie!

Three raisins of the salon who pay attention to: a thick steering wheel (by the way, heated), which immediately creates the image of a large car, a nontrivially located gauge "machine" and stylish shooting hours, diluting a simple architecture of the central console.

As in any minivan, in Grand Voyager, a huge number of cupboards, pockets, niches, shelves and extended boxes. And on the ceiling - a whole battery of opening compartments.

Sitting on the chairs of the second row is not worse than on the front - comfort, both in the business class: there are heated, and adjustment of the seats, and curtains on the windows, and separate adjustment of climate control, and a table, and armrests.

But the sofa of the third row compared to the predecessor in the size was sized - in the width of the place here now only for two adults. The reason is a tricky seats folding system in the floor, because of which the sofa had to be reduced in size, and even remove the spare wheel from the machine.

Manage the same folding and folding of the rear sofa is a pleasure: Know yourself click on the buttons. But to carry out the transformation with two seats of the central series manually and with some difficulties. In itself, the system of genius - the chairs are folded with one movement and are cleaned in the floor flush. How not it was! But for this you have to make many side effects, and most importantly - each time it is uncomfortable to stop the front seats - inconvenient.

The electric drive front armchairs, the electric drive adjustment of the pedal assembly, the electric drive of the trunk door, the electric drives of the sliding doors, the electric appliance of the sofa, the drive of the opening of the submarines - the machine is literally styling with electronics. It seems now it is clear where such a price is from ...

However, such a wealth of self-deviating mechanisms does not fit in any way with widespread savings on finishing materials, in places inactive fit, the multimedia system is like from the adjacent magnetol store. Not only the only well-friendly element - inserts under the dark noble tree and the skin on the armrests of the doors (and even then only on the front). Apparently, this is what the financial crisis of the company Chrysler on a concrete example ...

The trunk fully corresponds to the prefix of the Grand in the title - even with all the places occupied in the cabin, its volume is an impressive 934 liters. Of the pleasant little things - a quick-consuming flashlight.

In the course of Chrysler Grand Voyager, it seems the impression of the ocean yacht, but a massive and heavy iron. But "Iron" in this case has, rather, a positive meaning: the Voyager rummed on the course goes on the road thoroughly, and keeps it hard. Surprisingly - even in cool turns "heavy" minivan, even with a screech of tires, but stably and predictably. If the steering wheel with an increase in speed poured a greater feedback, becoming informative, it would be quite good.

The road is relatively smooth - get ready to feel like full comfort! Small Colds, joints and cracks Voyager does not notice at all. And foreign sounds manifest either on very rough road, or at high speed when the wind beats about a large square body. But now the middle and large nervousness of the minivan passes too hard, especially for the American car. Energy intensity suspension is missing.

Engine 3.6 with a capacity of 283 horsepower in itself is not bad - perfectly pulls and practically immune to the load. But here "Avtomat" he got unsuccessful. Rods, shocks, delay when switching - all this accompanies the driver of Voyager. Only on the track with uniform movement, you can relax. And on the highway, it becomes not so frightening fuel consumption - about 10 liters per 100 km. In the city, get ready to see 20 liters.

As a result, Chrysler Grand Voyager leaves contradictory feelings. The car is stuck not so much between classes as between the segments. It is difficult to attribute it to simple "workers' workers-family mans": outside solid, even pathosen, is equipped with a first class, a motor under three hundred forces - what is not a request to premium?

But this very "pseudociability" dissolves as soon as you get inside and you start to go: the interior decoration does not justify the price, the engine with the gearbox does not go to his "almost three hundred forces", and American comfort will disappear on the first more or less serious Koldobin ...

Plush here indifference Russians to minivans, lack of selection of modifications, a voracious engine and large tax costs due to power. So it turns out that this one, in general, very interesting in other other car for simple buyers too expensive, and for corporate parks are too burdens in operation. There remains only a handful of voyager fans, and representative offices of American companies that such a car can use except from patriotic considerations ...

Definitely I needed a mini-Ven: before that I went to Dodge Caravan, and the whole family was able to evaluate the advantages of this class of cars. Moreover, we were considered, for example, not Opel with fairly compact models Zafira and Meriva, but a real, "adult" mini-Ven. In general, the analogue in Russia did not find and acquired a car in Germany. What is only one salon! Middle row - with "captain" chairs equipped with armrests. The backs can be folded, giving a convenient position, and long-distance passengers can stay with enviable comfort. And if necessary, the chair can be deployed, install a table. If there is a need for transport, then the rear row of seats is "in the floor". And how many in the cabin of the boxes, niches and gloves! At a high level and equipment: "In the database" and a rear-view camera (there is a very helpful in the metropolis with parking sensors), and the navigation system, and 3-zone climates control, and heated the front and medium rows of seats ... And still hatch, xenon, Shutters on the windows - the charms of the basic configuration can be listed further. And this is just what concerns comfort. For me, as for the owner, in addition to running qualities, efficiency is important. And with this, too, everything is in order: according to the passport, the flow rate of diesel fuel 2.8-liter 163-power engine is 7.3 liters per 100 km. And with cruising speed of 95 km / h and the cruise control on the engine revolutions of 1500 min-1, the flow remains within 7 liters. For a car weighing 2.2 tons not bad. Yes, and overclocking dynamics are quite decent, even with full loading. It is clear that this is not a racing car, and Chrysler Grand Voyager has more to calm than to extreme ride, but at speed and 140 km / h car is managed quite well. And at 100-110 km / h I can take a second and a half thousand kilometers without signs of fatigue - for this separate thanks to the soft American suspension. On the road, the car simply floats, as if the steamer. The 6-speed ACP is perfectly operating (specially chose the European version, since the old 4-speed "Americans"). And Adaptive ACP: if you go actively, it quickly adjusts to your way of driving and begins to switch transfers faster. The only inconvenience is that there is no oil dipstice in the AKP housing. From Soviet times, I got used to regularly follow the level of operational fluids, and here to check the oil in the box, you have to attend the service center. And a small minus: if in most car models, the fuel filter is under the hood, then it is located right in the tank, under the rear bumper. If there is a problem with fuel, then it is not very nice to remove it. And if you return to the pros, then the reliability of the car is very high. While changed only consumables, including brake pads.

Chrysler Grand Voyager - front-wheel-water five-door minivan full-size category with a seven-bed layout of the cabin, which combines a solid design, a high level of practicality and good "driving" characteristics ...

The main target audience of the car - family people having two or more children and loving travels, for which the inner space is important ...

The fifth generation of a single compliment, which preserved an exceptionally version with the elongated base of the wheels called "Grand", appeared in all its glory in January 2007 - before visitors to the North American Auto Show in Detroit.

After another "reincarnation", the car acquired a new body and salon design, became even more practical and functional, and also received upgraded techniques.

In 2011, the car survived the scheduled update - the refinement was slightly affected by appearance, interior, power palette and list of available options. In this form, it was produced at the Canadian plant of the company until 2015, after which he was finally "retired."

With what angle either look, "the fifth" Chrysler Grand Voyager is a typical "American", without any compromise, which looks pretty, is monumental and quite solid. The frowny "facade" with cute headlights and a chrome-plated grille of the radiator, a fairly heavy silhouette with a large glass of glazing and "inflated" arches of the wheels, the uncomplicated feed with a huge trunk lid and neat lanterns - the country of origin of the car is identified for the vest.

Grand Voyager fifth generation has impressive dimensions: 5175 mm in length, 1750 mm in height and 1998 mm wide. The wheelbase occupies a 3078-millimeter gap from a minivan, and its ground clearance has 155 mm.

In the curb form, the five-door weighs from 2025 to 2145 kg, and its full mass varies from 2690 to 2775 kg.

Inside the "fifth" Chrysler Grand Voyager can boast a modern and very solid design, thought out ergonomics, solid finishing materials and good assembly quality.

A thick steering wheel with a four-spin rim, a throwing combination of devices with two "wells" and the windcomputer window between them, the monumental central console with a color screen of the multimedia complex, the stylish shooting hours and the "microclimate" concise block - the interior looks attractive and thoroughly.

The salon of the minivan is organized according to the "2 + 2 + 3" scheme, and individual armchairs with an ergonomic profile, heated and wide ranges of adjustments are installed on the first and second rows. But the Triple Sofa is located on the gallery, but the width here is enough space for only two adult passengers.

One of the "highlights" of Chrysler Grand Voyager fifth generation is a huge trunk, which even for all occupied places is able to absorb up to 934 liters of the boot.

The seats of the two first rows add up to a completely flat site, due to which the volume of the "hold" increases to 2394 and 3912 liters, respectively.

For one-unified one, two power units are provided that operate with a 6-speed "automatic" and front-wheel drive transmission:

• The first option is a gasoline six-cylinder "atmospheric" by 3.6 liters with a V-structured structure, distributed injection and 24-valve timing, which develops 283 horsepower at 6600 rpm and 344 N · m of torque at 4400 rev / m.

• The second is a four-cylinder 2.8-liter diesel engine with direct "food" Common Rail, turbocharging and THM type DOHC with 16-valves, the potential of which reaches 163 hp With 3800 rpm and 360 N · m peak thrust at 1600-3000 rev / minute.

The first "hundred" conquers a car after 9.5-12.8 seconds, and his "maximum range" is 165-208 km / h.

Gasoline modifications require 10.8 liters of fuel for every 100 km in combination mode, and diesel - 8.4 liters.

The coolest Chrysler Grand Voyager of the fifth embodiment is the front-wheel drive platform "Chrysler RT" with an engine located crosswise. Front "American" is equipped with an independent suspension type MacPherson with gas-filled shock absorbers, a transverse stabilizer and screw springs, and behind a semi-dependent beam-bridge with a transverse jet rod, springs and shock absorbers.
On the minivan used the Ruika-Gear Type with integrated GUR. On all the wheels of the five-year disk brakes (equipped with ABS and EBD): on the front - ventilated with a diameter of 302 mm, and on the rear - ordinary 305 mm.

In the secondary market of Russia "Grand Voyager" of the fifth generation in 2017 is offered at a price of ~ 750 thousand rubles (and most often it is found in our country in the "Top" configuration "Limited").
The staff is equipped with eight airbags, the audio system with nine columns and a subwoofer, 17-inch wheels, a rear parking sensor, a multimedia complex, a three-zone "climate", heated seats of the two first rows, ABS, ESP, xenon headlights and a bunch of other equipment.
