Year to Year Changes


1997 Chrysler Town & Country and Voyager: Permanent all-wheel drive arrived as an option for '97 on long-wheelbase minivans, and AWD models got 4-wheel disc brakes. Front-drive minivans gained a new traction control system, which works at low speeds to prevent wheel slippage. All 1997 models got the extra driver-side sliding door. The lineup now included a short-wheelbase SX model and two long wheelbase models: the LX and LXi. The 3.8-liter engine was standard on the LXi and optional on the others.
1998 Chrysler Town & Country and Voyager: Town & Country got a new look with an open grille and winged emblem for '98. The new grille features new headlights that offer better illumination. Also, the 3.8-liter V6 gained 14 horsepower for a total of 180.
1999 Chrysler Town & Country and Voyager: The middle bench seat was dropped for '99, and a child seat was now available in one of the two reclining middle-row buckets. Other additions included a small cargo net between the front seats and 16-inch chrome alloy wheels on the Limited.
2000 Chrysler Town & Country and Voyager: Regular-length minivans were dropped for 2000, leaving only extended-length models, with new interior and exterior colors. All models seated seven and had sliding doors on both sides. A new Rear Seat Video entertainment system, with VCR and 6.4-inch display screen, could be dealer-installed.
