ACCELERATION
| Base reg. length | Grand SE, 3.3 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 4 | 3.6 |
The 3.3 V6 provides better overall go-power than the base 4-cylinder or 3.0-liter six, but still isn't up to the task with a heavy passenger/cargo load.
FUEL ECONOMY
| Base reg. length | Grand SE, 3.3 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 4 | 3.9 |
In our tests, one 3.3-liter Voyager averaged 19.2 mpg with lots of highway driving. Another averaged a more representative 15.8 mpg.
RIDE QUALITY
| Base reg. length | Grand SE, 3.3 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 6 | 4.9 |
Grands smother bumps a bit better than regulars, but any Voyager offers a comfortable ride and good highway stability.
STEERING/HANDLING/BRAKING
| Base reg. length | Grand SE, 3.3 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 4 | 4.3 |
All Voyagers drive like much like large cars, and regular-length models feel almost agile. All models have light, precise steering and stable cornering with modest body lean.
QUIETNESS
| Base reg. length | Grand SE, 3.3 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 5 | 4.5 |
Wind noise is prominent at Interstate speeds and road roar is evident to rear passengers. The V6s are loud only under full throttle, while the 4-cylinder is audibly busy most all the time.
CONTROLS
| Base reg. length | Grand SE, 3.3 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | 6 | 5.7 |
Voyager's roomy, well-designed interior features supportive chair-height seats, great all-around visibility, and a conveniently laid-out dashboard with large gauges and simple controls. An exception is the slightly complicated process needed to program radio-station presets.
ROOM/COMFORT/DRIVER SEATING (FRONT)
| Base reg. length | Grand SE, 3.3 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | 7 | 6 |
There's plenty of head and leg room in front for two large adults. Low door sills ease entry/exit, and an optional driver-side sliding door makes it easier still.
ROOM/COMFORT (REAR)
| Base reg. length | Grand SE, 3.3 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | 8 | 6.4 |
There's also plenty of head and leg room for middle-row riders, but third-row accommodations are best left to the junior-high crowd. Shoulder and hip room are generous all around.
CARGO ROOM
| Base reg. length | Grand SE, 3.3 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 9 | 10 | 9.3 |
With all seats in place, regular-length models don't have much space for more than a single row of grocery bags. Built-in "Easy Out" rollers assist with moving the middle and rear bench seats, but they weigh 80-100 pounds, so lifting them in or out is still a 2-person job.
VALUE WITHIN CLASS
| Base reg. length | Grand SE, 3.3 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | 9 | 5.8 |
Despite ever-stiffer competition, Voyager and Caravan remain Best Buys on the strength of sound design and high owner loyalty. Voyager does a fine job of anchoring this popular line.
Total Score
| Base reg. length | Grand SE, 3.3 V6 | Class Average |

Total Score: 58
