1997 Plymouth Grand Voyager Review

Chrysler's minivans are still tops.
Walkaround
We tested the dapper Grand Voyager SE. Here's the tale of the tape:

at 119.3 inches, the Grand Voyager has a six-inch longer wheelbase than

the standard Voyager. From bumper-to bumper, the Grand Voyager is longer

as well--199.6 inches, compared to the 186-inch standard model. And with

all the seats removed, the Grand Voyager's total cargo space measures 168.5

cubic feet--notably more spacious than the standard Voyager's 142.9 cubic

feet.

This additional space comes at a relative bargain. The Grand Voyager's

base price of $19,160, including destination, is only $1350 higher than

the basic Voyager.

The Voyager and Grand Voyager each come in two trim levels--the base

model and the more bountifully-equipped SE.

We road-tested the Grand Voyager SE, which listed a base price of $21,335.

It was decked out with the pricey ($2370) SE Rallye option package, which

consists of monochromatic body-color grille and door handles, silver accent

stripe, luggage rack, dark-tinted suncreen solar glass, 15-inch cast aluminum

wheels, air conditioning, rear defogger and windshield wiper de-icer.

Our test model was appointed with other options, like the 3.3 liter

V6 engine ($890); the optional fourth door ($595); and power locks ($315).

Those add-ons, plus the $580 destination charge, raised the price to $25,505.

But Plymouth's $1030 option discount adjusted the final price downward

to $24,475.

The dark-tinted windows, in conjunction with the vehicle's dusky, purplish-blue

color--which Plymouth has christened Deep Amethyst Pearl--results in a

slightly imposing Darth Vader look.

However, even without the brooding hue, the Voyager would still exude

a sporty visage, thanks to its rounded corners, slanting windshield, stylishly

sculpted body panels and understated side moldings, and cleverly concealed

sliding door tracks. Next Page
