Chrysler is doubling the size of its current line-up – and offering a more wallet-friendly option in the process – with the return of the Voyager minivan. The new model will start at just under $40,000 when it goes on sale late this year.
The Voyager badge was one of the first used by Chrysler for its minivan family, a 1988 extended wheelbase version shown here.
Once one of the country’s most familiar brand names, Chrysler has all but vanished from the market, especially with the demise of the 300 sedan line. Currently, the marque offers just a single product line: the Pacifica minivan.
Chrysler will double its line-up for 2025, however, as it brings back the Voyager nameplate. Starting at $39,995 – before delivery fees, the 2025 Chrysler Voyager will serve as an entry-level alternative for buyers who can’t quite afford the current Pacifica line.
“The 2025 Chrysler Voyager offers customers a well-equipped, budget-conscious minivan and reinforces our brand’s commitment to delivering choices in the segment Stellantis created more than 40 years ago and continues to lead,” said Chris Feuell, Chrysler brand CEO – Stellantis.
What’s new?
The Voyager is really more of a new trim package than an entirely new model, Chrysler planners apparently hoping to give the brand a bit more presence by offering two separate nameplates.
Voyager slots in under the Pacifica line and shares the same platform and underpinnings. And the good news is that it maintains some of the more expensive model’s most popular features/
“We’ve added many comfort, technology-focused and safety features as standard equipment on Chrysler Voyager, including standard Stow ‘n Go seating, making the Voyager an attractive, value-packed option within the Chrysler family of minivans.”
The basics
Among other features, Voyager will get a 10.1-inch Uconnect 5 infotainment touchscreen and a 7-inch digital gauge cluster. The minivan will features Android Auto and Apple Car Play. Other tech features include integrated hands-free Bluetooth and phone command, a six-speaker audio system, remote start, and active noise cancellation.
Those Stow ‘n Go seats will allow the second and third rows to fold into the floor of the new minivan, creating a huge cargo compartment.
In keeping with what minivan buyers expect, the new model will offer up to seven airbags and a variety of advanced driver assistance systems.

Powertrain
While the more expensive Chrysler Pacifica continues to offer buyers a choice of powertrain options – including a fuel-efficient plug-in hybrid, the 2025 Chrysler Voyager will be offered with just a single engine option.
The 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine will be paired with what Chrysler calls “a segment-exclusive” TorqueFlite 9-speed automatic transmission. The package Voyager delivers 287 horsepower and 262 lb.-ft. of torque to the front wheels.
Buyers looking for an all-wheel-drive minivan will have to upgrade to the Chrysler Pacifica line.
Pricing and availability
The 2025 Chrysler Voyager will become the brand’s most affordable minivan, with a base price of $39,995. Add to that destination fees. The automaker did not confirm what delivery fees will be for the upcoming model year but currently stand at $795 for the Pacifica.
That family of minivans starts at $44,145 for the base 2025 model and climbs to $61,480 for the Pacifica Pinnacle.
Look for the 2025 Chrysler Voyager to arrive in U.S. showrooms during the fourth quarter of this year, the automaker said.
Chrysler is said to be working on several other product lines, including an all-electric model based on the Airflow concept vehicle. That’s expected to reach showrooms sometime around 2026 or 2027.
