More aerodynamic in shape than their predecessors, the new Chrysler minivans could be equipped with a sliding door on the driver’s side, and center and rear seats had built-in “Easy Out” rollers. All models had a sliding door on the passenger side, plus a one-piece rear liftgate. The Dodge Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country are nearly identical.Minivans came in standard Voyager and long wheelbase Grand Voyager body styles, each holding up to seven occupants. Plymouths came only in base and SE trim. Dual airbags and antilock braking were standard at first, but ABS became an option on base minivans during the 1996 model year. All models were front-drive. Base engine was a new 2.4-liter 4-cylinder with dual camshafts. Two V6s were available: 3.0- and 3.3-liter, making 150 and 158 horsepower, respectively.
[/vc_column_text][mk_table title=”Yearly Updates” style=”style2″ el_class=”used-yearly-updates”]| 1997 Voyager Changes were few for 1997. |
| 1998 Voyager Rear bench seats added grocery bag hooks and an Expresso Decor package was added. |
| 1999 Voyager Plymouth added a 3.8-liter V6, already available on Caravan and Town & Country, to the Voyager for ’99. Other changes included a small cargo net between the front seats, additional standard equipment, a child-safety seats in second-row buckets. |
| 2000 Voyager Air conditioning and 7-passenger seating became standard instead of optional. A rear-seat video entertainment system was newly available, dealer-installed on all models. During 2000, Voyagers adopted a Chrysler badge instead of Plymouth. |
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”24″ el_class=”used-powertrain-text”]Voyagers initially came with any of three engines: a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder, or two V6 sizes. A 3-speed automatic transmission had been standard with the 4-cylinder engine and the smallest (3.0-liter) V6. Models with the 3.3-liter engine, and all SE Voyagers, got a 4-speed automatic transmission with an overdrive gear ratio. In ’99 Plymouth added the corporate 3.8-liter V6 to the lineup. It brought 180 horsepower to the game and came only with a 4-speed automatic.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][mk_table style=”style2″ el_class=”used-engine-specs”]

Quieter and even more carlike than before, these minivans handle more like large sedans than vans. Steering is light and precise, and the suspension provides stable cornering with only modest body lean. The suspension easily irons out most smaller rough spots, and the ride is comfortable overall.
Performance with the 3.3-liter engine is quite strong, even in the longer Grand Voyager–provided that it’s not loaded down with people and cargo. Even then, passing power is sufficient, making that engine a wise all-around choice for those who carry heavy loads or a full complement of passengers. The 4-cylinder engine is too weak for a vehicle of this weight, though acceleration is adequate with the smallest (3.0-liter) V6. Fuel economy is about average for a minivan.
Well-designed and roomy inside, Voyager got a new dashboard with larger gauges and revised controls–closer to the driver than before. Occupants ride on supportive chair-height seats, while bigger windows and a lower dashboard improved visibility. Front seat travel also has increased, as has middle-row head room. A wider body also gives extra shoulder and hip space. Entry/exit also is easier, thanks to door sills that are 1.4 inches lower.
