Chrysler's minivans are staples on the suburban streets, reliably carrying families to and from their everyday activities. Their minivan lineup includes the Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid, Pacifica, and Chrysler Voyager. You may be wondering what the differences are between these vans, so stay tuned to find out. more Powertrain The gas-powered Pacifica uses a 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine that produces 287 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. It's paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and comes in both front-wheel and all-wheel drive configurations. The Voyager uses the same V6 engine as the Pacifica and pairs with the same transmission. However, unlike the Pacifica, it comes in front-wheel drive only. The Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) takes the 3.6L Pentastar V6 and adds two electric motors and a 16-kWh battery. Taken together, this system produces a combined 260 horsepower. Fuel efficiency is where the Pacifica PHEV shines. Once the battery is depleted, the vehicle reverts to using gasoline, providing flexibility for drivers who don't feel like charging the battery. Interior The Voyager comes in a single trim, offering seating for seven with second-row captain's chairs and a third-row bench seat. The Voyager has a value-focused yet comfortable interior, with leatherette upholstery and an 8-way power-adjustable driver's seat. It includes Stow 'n Go second and third row seats, which can be removed for maximum cargo storage. The Pacifica is the only model to offer room for up to 8 passengers, and like the Voyager, it offers Stow 'n Go seating in both rows, while the Pacifica PHEV only has it in the third row. Both the standard Pacifica and PHEV versions offer available upscale features such as Nappa leather upholstery, a sunroof, and ventilated front seats. Technology All vans feature a 10.1-inch center touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and an Amazon Alexa voice assistant. While all vans come with a standard 6-speaker stereo, only the Pacifica and Pacifica PHEV offer the ability to upgrade to a premium Harman Kardon system. They also offer additional tech capabilities such as a rear-seat entertainment system with built-in Amazon Fire TV and a FamCAM camera with split-screen views. The Pacifica PHEV includes additional views on the touchscreen for information related to the battery and electric powertrain. Drivers can also set a charging schedule using their smartphone to take advantage of off-peak energy hours. All three of Chrysler's minivans are excellent options for reliable family transport. Those with budgets in mind will enjoy what the attractively priced Voyager has to offer, while families who want to take full advantage of premium technology and amenities will love the Pacifica. If you're looking to save as much as possible on gas, consider the Pacifica PHEV. Get started today at Bill Snethkamp Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Highland Park, MI.

The Chrysler Voyager returns for 2025 after a three-year hiatus, and it has more standard features than ever before. This capable minivan is not only affordable: it offers families strong power, a versatile interior, and modern technology. There's lots to love about the 2025 Chrysler Voyager. more 1. Powerful Engine Under the hood of every Voyager is the trusted 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine that delivers 287 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. It's paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and is standard front-wheel drive to maximize fuel economy. Families or fleet operators can realize big savings on gas as well. 2. Stow 'N Go Seating One of our favorite features of the 2025 Voyager is its standard Stow 'n Go second and third-row seats. This system allows the seats to fold completely into the load floor, creating a flat cargo area without requiring seat removal. When both rows are stowed, the van offers up to 140.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the front seats. Even with the third-row seats up, there remains 32.3 cubic feet of storage space. 3. Personalized Climate Comfort The Voyager comes standard with three-zone automatic climate control. This ensures all passengers can travel in a climate-adjusted environment that is tailored to their preferences. The Voyager also has standard heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, so front passengers can quickly warm themselves up on cold days. 4. Keyless Enter 'n Go Keyless Enter 'n Go is a passive entry system that allows you to unlock the doors without pressing the buttons on your key fob. When you approach the van with the key fob and touch the door handle, all doors automatically unlock, including the liftgate. This is particularly useful when your hands are full. Once you're inside, you can start the van by pressing the ignition button. 5. Updated Infotainment System For 2025, all models come with a 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen mounted in the center of the dashboard. It hosts Uconnect 5 software, which provides access to wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM radio, and Bluetooth connectivity. Several USB-A and USB-C ports can be found throughout the cabin. 6. Modern Safety Suite Several technology-enhanced features work together to keep all occupants safe. Added to the suite for 2025 is standard Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection, which alerts you to other drivers in your blind spots or cross traffic when backing out of a parking space. An available ParkView Rear Backup Camera also assists in parking and reversing. The 2025 Voyager is guaranteed to meet the needs of modern families and fleet managers with its capable powertrain, flexible interior, and advanced technology.
