Reviews - Chrysler

Overall Rating

America's top MPV is big on image, big on equipment, big on passenger accommodation, and in stretched Grand Voyager form it's just big! Fashionable and undoubtedly practical, but thirsty with it.

• Cleanly styled practical family MPV
• Proven design with good reliability
• Nice to drive, easy to own

• 2.4 lacks refinement when pushed
• Ride is firm and a little noisy
• Not much luggage space with all seats in use

All-American design and looks (though Austrian-built), with a 3.3 V6 engine on top versions that struggles to give 25mpg. All-American equipment levels, too, so even SE versions are well specced, while the Limited is positively luxurious. At 16ft 9ins long, the Grand probably won't fit in your garage and is ponderous to park and manoeuvre around town. Handling and ride are adequate, and the body doesn't lean too heavily in bends. However, overall refinement is bettered by Espace and Previa. The petrol engines like revs but get noisy when wound up; the willing 2.5 and 2.8 CRD turbodiesels are always audible.
