The minivan class is a lot smaller than it used to be. With Ford, General Motors, Nissan, and other competitors out of the family van business, Americans can choose from just four minivans on dealer lots today: the Toyota Sienna, Honda Odyssey, Chrysler Pacifica, and Kia Carnival.
They’re about to get one more. Sort of.
Chrysler announced today that the company will bring the Voyager back to its lineup for 2025.
The Voyager only ever sort of dropped out of the Chrysler lineup. It was only ever sort of in it. By 2022, the Voyager had become, essentially, a trim level of Pacifica. It shared almost all of that van’s parts but at a lower price and with a simpler technology loadout.
In 2022, Chrysler removed it from sale to private individuals but kept it as a fleet model. Hence, you’ll sometimes see 2023 and 2024 Voyagers on the used market. Those used vans are former rental cars and other fleet vehicles.
For the 2025 model year, you won’t have to buy more than one van to get a Voyager.
Chrysler CEO Chris Feuell says it will return as “a well-equipped, budget-conscious minivan.” Prices will start at $39,995 plus an undisclosed destination charge (likely similar to the $1,695 Chrysler charges on 2024 vehicles).
At that price, it will replace the entry-level Touring trim of the Pacifica, which disappears for 2025.
The Voyager gets unique front and rear fascia but otherwise wears the Pacifica’s body. It comes exclusively with the 287-horsepower V6 engine found on base models of that car and skips the plug-in hybrid setup available to Pacifica buyers. The V6 uses a 9-speed automatic transmission to send power to the front wheels.
The Voyager features Chrysler’s drop-in-the-floor Stow ‘n’ Go seats, power sliding doors, and an eight-way power driver’s seat, but the audio system is limited to a 6-speaker system.
