Simon Elliott, Managing Director of Chrysler and Jeep in the UK said: "The Chrysler Voyager has always been a success story in the UK as much for its versatility and size as for its style. The changes we have made to bring to our customers the Voyager Touring will be welcomed, and I am sure the car will become a very worthy member of the Voyager family."
Voyager Touring costs £18,795 on-the-road for the 2.4 litre
petrol version and £19,995 on-the-road for the 2.5 CRD. As
