Yahoo Autos The 2020 Chrysler Voyager Is a Budget Version of the Pacifica Starting under $30,000
Chrysler is applying the Voyager name to the Pacifica minivan's less-expensive trim levels for 2020.
This brings back a nameplate that used to be applied to Plymouth's version of minivan back in the day.
Production of the 2020 Chrysler Voyager begins in August, and it costs $28,925 to start, a bit more than the 2019 Pacifica's starting price of $28,730.
UPDATE 8/7/19: Pricing for the 2020 Chrysler Voyager starts at $28,925 for the L trim and $31,290 for the LX model. This is slightly more than the previous 2019 Pacifica L's starting price of $28,730. The 2020 Pacifica lineup now kicks off with the Touring trim level, which starts at $34,990. We have updated our story accordingly.
Chrysler has renamed the cheaper versions of its Pacifica minivan, and the new name is a familiar one: Voyager. Essentially a rebadged version of the previous Pacifica's L and LX trim levels, the new budget-oriented 2020 Chrysler Voyager is otherwise mechanically identical to the Pacifica we know and love, with the same 287-hp 3.6-liter V-6 engine and nine-speed automatic transmission. The Pacifica itself should continue on unchanged, although it will now only include higher-priced trim levels with more equipment.
The Voyager's base L trim level is fairly sparsely equipped with manual climate control, cloth seats, and a second-row bench seat that makes for seven-passenger capacity. The Voyager LX adds a fair bit of equipment including second-row captain's chairs, a power driver's seat, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, and SiriusXM satellite radio. There's also a fleet-only LXi trim meant for rental duty that has leatherette seats, second-row Stow 'n Go seats, a roof rack, and remote start.
Other than its badge, there's nothing to distinguish the Voyager visually. We wonder if this new strategy with the Chrysler van might be FCA's way of beginning to phase out the ancient Dodge Grand Caravan, which has served as the company's low-priced minivan offering for the past few years.
Although the Voyager is pitched as a budget van, it does get a slight price hike compared to the previous 2019 Pacifica L. The Voyager's base L trim starts at $28,925, $195 higher than before, while the better-equipped LX starts at $31,290 and the fleet-only Voyager LXi starts at $34,490.
