Chrysler Voyager

Performance

2.5 and 2.8 diesels are strong workhorses. The petrol 2.4- and 3.3-litre models lack torque and need to be worked hard when overtaking.

Driving

Steering and cornering are on the light side. A generally boring but safe ride, but large potholes will be crashingly unpleasant.

Feel

All engines are on the noisy side, with clunky gearboxes to boot.

---

Price

Insurance and economy are steep. Good resale values.

Quality

Shouldn't be any reliability issues. Cabin looks sturdy enough.

Safety

Abs, deadlocks and central locking. Airbags deploy according to severity of crash impact.

---

Space

Grand Voyager has over 4,500 lites of space with the rear seats Stow'N'Go'd.

Equipment

Dual-zone air-conditioning, a 10-speaker CD stereo, electric mirrors and windows and remote central locking. LX trim gets you climate control system and alloys. It also brings cruise control and metallic paint.

Alternatives

Citroen C8, Renault Espace.

Pros

Good space and good kit.

Cons

Running costs are high.
