- Seat padding is firm
What's new
- Revives the Voyager name from the now-defunct Plymouth brand
- Replaces base and fleet trim levels of the Chrysler Pacifica
- No notable changes from the 2019 Chrysler Pacifica L and LX
- Launches the second Voyager generation under the Chrysler brand and fifth Voyager generation overall
Overview
Here's a Throwback Thursday we didn't see coming. Chrysler is rebranding the lower trim levels of its Pacifica minivan with an old-school name from its past. The 2020 Chrysler Voyager dusts off a nameplate from the defunct Plymouth brand that dates back 45 years and was last seen about 15 years ago when it quietly disappeared as — wait for it — the Chrysler Voyager.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2020 Chrysler Voyager L 4dr Minivan (3.6L 6cyl 9A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.50 per gallon for regular unleaded in Ohio.

Avg. Midsize Minivan
Despite the retro name dust, the Voyager is really just the first two trim levels of last year's Pacifica. There are minor feature changes here and there, but effectively it's the same enchilada.
That means you get plenty of space for passengers and cargo, a classy-looking cabin, capable acceleration, and even useful towing capability of up to 3,600 pounds.
Reviving the Voyager nameplate is a curious choice, and we suspect it has more to do with the impending discontinuation of the old Dodge Grand Caravan than a detailed plan of selling a ton more minivans under the Chrysler brand. As a shopper, all you need to focus on is the end result. The Voyager is a solid minivan and its pricing is attractive, but it can't quite match the Honda Odyssey for overall refinement.
Which Voyager does Edmunds recommend?
With only two trims to choose from, this choice comes down to your wallet. That said, it's worth the stretch to get the LX and its additional features such as a power-adjustable driver's seat and second-row captain's chairs that open up an aisle to the third row.
2020 Chrysler Voyager models
The 2020 Chrysler Voyager is available in two trim levels: L and LX. (A third LXi trim level also exists, but it's for rental car fleets only.) All come with a 3.6-liter V6 engine (287 horsepower, 262 lb-ft of torque), a nine-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive.
The base L trim comes with essentials such as a rearview camera, cloth seats, a second-row bench seat (for seven-passenger seating), a folding/collapsible third-row Stow 'n Go bench seat, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 7-inch touchscreen.
The LX trim adds more comforts, including softer suspension tuning, a power-adjustable driver's seat, second-row captain's chairs, three-zone climate control, and satellite radio. Several safety features (blind-spot monitoring, rear parking sensors, rear cross-traffic alert) come with the optional SafetyTec package for both trims, while a roof rack, remote start, heated front seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel are options for the LX.

Five kids in carseats
Jay, 09/23/2020
2020 Chrysler Voyager L 4dr Minivan (3.6L 6cyl 9A)
We replaced a top of line 2015 GMC Yukon XL Denali 4wd with the bottom of the line Chrysler Voyager L with the safety and rear ac packages and couldn’t be happier. We have five kids four in car seats, one in a booster seat, and one rear facing. This severely limits our vehicle choices because top tether points and width in the third row for three seats is rare. Even though this … doesn’t have three top tether points in the third row it fits our needs with one child in a booster and one rear facing, we have some versatility. The hip room in the third row is actually bigger in the Voyager than the Yukon XL and fits two car seats and one booster better. We also opted for the Voyager L for the second row bench. This gives us much better access to loading and unloading kids into their third row seats over going in and between two captains chairs. Also the headrests are removable in the second row bench and not in the captains chairs. Many car seats and high back boosters require getting the headrests removed or out of the way to safely and properly install the child seats. Though the Voyager L is missing some features we had in the Denali there isn’t anything we really miss that much. The standard U Connect allows you to easily replace navigation and satellite radio with your phone apps. We may have opted for a higher trim level to gain back some of the missing features from the Denali but the car seat requirements and advantages of the second row bench I mentioned decided for us making the Voyager L our only choice. The comfort and ride is very good and there is excellent leg room in the front. The power to weight ratio of this Voyager with 287 horsepower compared to the Denali with 420 horsepower seems to favor the Voyager, which is surprising to me since the Denali was fast and powerful. Going forward the only recommendations I would have for Chrysler would be to add that last tether point for car seats in the third row, consider the headrests and car seat recommendations in design going forward, and finally don’t underestimate the ingress and egress advantages of the middle row bench for children and parents loading them in seats. The higher trims should no be limited to just the captains chairs and headrests should never be a complication for any child’s car seat. Even though we have five kids, and more than most, tether points should be in every seat location in any vehicle marketed to families. As any parent knows you need that flexibility to assign seating as kids fight and or play, being able to rearrange seating assignments is a must. Looking forward to having the reliability of a new car over the severe maintenance and repair costs of our previous Denali. The gas savings will be an added bonus too, but gas savings never have meant more than safety and ability to use a vehicle to fit our family. Glad to see the five star crash rating of the Voyager that and all the above made this a wise choice for us. Hopefully this review from an actual owner and parent that needs all the car seat spots we do helps someone else, as I still feel all auto manufacturers and expert auto reviews have a long way to go designing, reporting, and considering child car seat requirements and families needs in this regard.
One year update section:
25,000 miles completely trouble free just factory recommended maintenance. Only thing truly missing we found use for is child locks controlled from drivers door that includes the front passenger door in the child lock system. This would older kids to get out in the school drop off line and the doors relocked to protect younger kids. Some little boys can escape a car seat so child locks on all doors is a must have & should be standard on all family cars. Chrysler unlike GM cars allow a door to be opened from the handle from the inside even if locked. Without child locks on the front passenger door this is a serious flaw in child safety design on most vehicles. Other than this one point we still are very pleased with the vehicle, its reliability, fit for a family of seven and the overall value. Update, 9/30/23, 3.5 years in over 80,000 miles now and have not had any problems. Regular maintenance only no repairs needed.

2020 Chrysler Voyager LX 4dr Minivan (3.6L 6cyl 9A)
Comparing all makes,buy (new)year end deals can be surprisingly good. I took several months to buy.didn’t need all the bells and whistles but factory dvd on this third vehicle for grandkids wow thank you. The standard safety equipment is the main reason for my buy .the 5 stars and do your homework,comparing all makes. I watched YouTube all pros and cons and updated crash test videos … .I’ve had many cars since 1979 but this Chrysler voyager feels like a road hugging car.and the noise canceling I can tell somethings different.I can hear what the kids are saying back there (grandpa McDonald’s turn there)engineers and designers must have really consulted with consumers ,every where you look.I keep saying wow that makes sense “engine just as responsive as my mint 05 mustang .

2020 Chrysler Voyager LX 4dr Minivan (3.6L 6cyl 9A)
What & How many "Bells and Whistle " do you need? Be practical. This car has many options as a standard . Sit inside and just look around for panoramic visibility. You and your. Passengers will enjoy it. Perfect for scenic drive across the country or local . Can't ask any better than what you get for your money. Powerful drive train, very good pick-up for a minivan.

2020 Chrysler Voyager LX 4dr Minivan (3.6L 6cyl 9A)
Rented in Oakland from Enterprise and dropped on 21 October in Buffalo. Excellent and comfortable car. Carried hundreds of pounds from Illinois. At slow speed on up and down brick street in Urbana, IL, car seemed to need stronger shocks. Picked it up with 3k miles. Surprisingly good gas mileage and strength up hills, effortless transmission. I own a Landcruiser with 200k miles and … the Voyager is more comfortable.
