Chrysler prices 2020 Voyager at $34,900

Fiat-Chrysler shooed the irritant Dodge Grand Caravan out of the product mix for cannibalizing Pacifica sales, then created the Voyager to lure minivan buyers who need an inexpensive minivan fix across the lot. The 2020 Voyager Land LX, which replaces the entry-level Pacifica L and Pacifica LX, costs $250 less than the respective 2019 Pacifica models. Chrysler’s held the line on the starter Pacifica pricing, followed by a few discounts. Cars Direct writes that the 2020 minivan in base Touring trim will cost $34,000 after a $1,495 destination fee, the same price as the 2019 seven-seater in Touring Plus spec.

Elsewhere, the trims get rejigged. In 2019, the Touring trim was only for fleets, and Touring Plus was the trim above the now-departed LX. Then came Touring L, Touring L Plus, and Limited. For 2020, Touring is for the people, Touring Plus disappears, then it’s Touring L, Touring L Plus, then Limited. Again, Touring Plus is no more. Cars Direct says the L model comes in at $38,240, which would be $50 less than in 2019. The L Plus costs $41,040, $100 less than in 2019. The Limited requires $45,940, $250 less than in 2019.

The 35th Anniversary edition trims continue into 2020 as well, likewise discounted. The Touring L 35th Anniversary costs $40,230, $75 down on the 2019 version. The L Plus 35th Anniversary will save $225 over the 2019 model, costing $42,335. The Limited 35th Anniversary shaves $150 off the price, at $46,735.

Now that Fiat-Chrysler’s rationalized the offerings, the absence of advanced technology features on the Voyager trims won’t surprise anyone. Voyager infotainment begins and ends with the seven-inch Uconnect touchscreen; the larger 8.4-inch screen is forbidden. The Voyager LXi becomes the fleet model, sparing the Pacifica nameplate that ignominy. Driver assistance tech in Voyagers will be limited to the cost-extra rear park assist, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross traffic detection. Adaptive cruise control and autonomous braking aren’t offered. If you want those, you have to shift up to the Pacifica Touring, which can add them with the $995 Advanced Safetytec Group. All Voyager and Pacifica models share the same sheetmetal and the same 287-horsepower Pentastar V6 and nine-speed transmission, though, with only the black door handles and badging to give the Voyager away.
