The creation of the Chrysler Grand Voyager began in 1988 and it received the Lancia Phedra designation for the European market before its transformation into the final product. The Chrysler Grand Voyager derived its base from the Chrysler S platform that shared chassis components with Dodge Caravan models and included K platform standard technical elements. Two choice of motors existed for the Chrysler Grand Voyager between the 2.5L I4 diesel engine and the 3.0L Mitsubishi 6G72 V6 engine. Manual transmissions ceased to be available in the American market beginning in 1995. The production models in America acquired the 3.3L EGA V6 engine as part of their emissions compliance requirement. The European customer base could choose between a 2.0L I4 engine or a 2.5L VM425 turbocharged diesel engine. The 2008 reintroduction of Chrysler Grand Voyager introduced the market to both luxury MPV customers and two powertrain setups - the 2.8L RA428 diesel I4 engine delivering 163 horsepower alongside a 6-speed automatic transmission. Together with the EGH V6 3.8L and the Pentastar V6 3.6L powerplants the 2008 Chrysler Grand Voyager provided 197 and 283 horsepower output options. Family pleasure was the main design focus of the Chrysler Grand Voyager thus the optimal way to preserve its operational and durable behavior involves using original equipment manufacturer parts that perform optimally for their intended functions.
