The all-new 2008 Chrysler Voyager has proven it has the right ingredients to
be the best vehicle to move people and cargo. Unveiled at the Detroit Motor Show
overnight and due for launch in Australia in 2008, the all-new Voyager isn’t
just practical, with 35 new and improved features it also has the right mix to
be a “family room on wheels” with something for everyone to enjoy.
“The all-new 2008 Chrysler Voyager spices up the people mover recipe by
offering an all-new contemporary appearance, innovative seating and storage
systems, unmatched entertainment systems and the safety you expect and deserve,”
said Gerry Jenkins, managing director, Chrysler Group Australia.
“Add in clever interior features and industry-leading functionality and you
have a recipe that will be a favourite with any family,” he said.
The newest ingredient for functional family seating is the all-new Swivel ’n
Go seating system. Swivel ’n Go offers second row seats that swivel 180 degrees
to face the third row with a removable table that installs between the two rows,
covered storage bins in the floor of the second row, third-row uncovered storage
and fold-in-the-floor third-row seating. Swivel ’n Go also offers an available
industry-first integrated child booster seat in the second-row quad chair and an
available one-touch power-folding third-row 60/40 bench seat.
“Chrysler Group engineers turned the tables on traditional seat systems to
come up with a technology that lets families have more choices of how to spend
their time while travelling,” said Larry Lyons, Vice President –
Front-wheel-drive Product Team, Chrysler Group. “With Swivel ’n Go, second- and
third-row passengers can face each other to have a conversation, play games or
have a meal on the go.”
Safety is a key part of any people mover recipe, and that continues to be
true with the 2008 Chrysler Voyager. All-row supplemental side-curtain air bags,
Electronic Stability Program (ESP) with traction control and brake assist, LATCH
child seat anchor system and a patented, energy-absorbing steering column are
among the standard safety features included in the 2008 Chrysler Voyager.
Innovations like an industry-first integrated child booster seat, ParkView
rear
back-up camera, a rearview interior conversation mirror, integrated child safety
seat and ParkSense® rear back-up system also ensure peace of mind while
traveling.
PEOPLE MOVER INNOVATION LEADERSHIP
The modern people mover was invented by the former Chrysler Corporation in
1983. Since then, the Chrysler Group has sold more than 11 million people movers
and pioneered dozens of people mover firsts that not only have revolutionised
the people mover segment, but made their way into other vehicle segments as
well.
“Chrysler Group is the leader in bringing innovations to the people mover
segment, and those innovations seem to have an uncanny way of ending up in other
products,” said Lyons. “Integrated child safety seats, dual-zone temperature
controls, a power liftgate and DVD entertainment are just some of the features
that started in a people mover, but are now available in other vehicle
segments.”
For 2008, the Chrysler Voyager offers value, functionality, safety and a
package of innovative features that no other manufacturer can match. With 35 new
or improved features, the all-new 2008 Chrysler Voyager offers consumers a home
away from home.
UNMATCHED FUNCTIONALITY AND ENTERTAINMENT
The 2008 Chrysler Voyager has spiced up the recipe for people mover success
to include a place for everything. A premium, multi-function, dual glove boxes,
second-row covered storage bins, third-row storage area and clever storage bins
and pockets offer more places to store things than ever before.
Two distinct seating configurations are available for 2008 Voyager. They
include the Stow ’n Go® seating and storage system that offers the only second-
and third-row fold-in-the-floor seats in the industry and the new Swivel ’n Go
seating that allows the second row seats to swivel 180 degrees to face rearward.
Swivel ’n Go also includes a removable table that fits between the second and
third rows with a fold-in-the-floor third-row seat. A one-touch power-folding
third-row seat also is available.
Available comfort and convenience features include a new, heated first- and
second-row leather or cloth seats; rearview interior conversation mirror; YES
Essentials stain-resistant, odour-resistant, anti-static cloth fabric; a
removable flashlight in the rear quarter panel; first- and second-row power
windows; second- and third-row retractable sun shades; power sliding doors;
power liftgate with power button on the key fob and rear-pillar, ambient halo
lighting; movable, pinpoint Light Emitting Diode (LED) reading lamps; map
lights; and a dual- or tri-zone heating and cooling system.
Available entertainment features include a dual DVD, multimedia entertainment
system that can play different media at the same time, MyGIG
CD/DVD/HDD/MP3/satellite radio with voice-activated capability, touch screen and
navigation, UConnect hands-free communication system with Bluetooth® technology,
mesh side pockets on the second-row seats that can hold iPods, hand-held gaming
systems or beverages, two second-row output/input jacks with a 12-volt power
outlet and an overhead console with bins large enough to store headphones.
