Geneva 2011: Lancia Voyager

The third Chrysler model wearing Lancia badges at the Geneva Motor Show is the Town & Country minivan, which has been renamed as the Voyager. It has been premiered for the whole world to see, alongside the Chrysler 300-based Thema and the Flavia.

The American people carrier with Italian flavoring measures a hefty 5.14 meters in length, 1.99 meters in width and 1.72 meters tall, and rides on a 3.1 meter-long wheelbase. When European sales start later this year, it will be available in three trim levels (Silver, Gold and Platinum) and and two engine options.

The Euro 5-compliant 283 HP 3.6-liter V6 petrol unit and the 2.8-liter CRD diesel, with particulate filter as standard, that delivering 163 HP and 360Nm. The Italian automaker says the petrol-burner achieves an average fuel consumption of 12.3 l/100km (19.1 mpg US), while the diesel version, 8.4 lt/100km (28 mpg US) with CO2 emissions of 227 g/km.

The exterior of the car will boast a redesigned front end, featuring the grille with the Lancia logo, wraparound front and rear fascias, light clusters with LED lights, large headlights with built-in fog lights in the front bumper. With maximum versatility in mind, the new car features sliding doors and tailgate (electrically operated) with a safety system for the detection of the presence of obstacles during closure

“A true icon of the MPV category with 27 years on the road and thirteen million units sold in 120 countries around the world, the American model "marries" Italian style, metamorphosing into an exclusive top-range MPV in which Chrysler's journey expertise joins forces with that of Lancia in driving pleasure, the art of attention to detail and Italian design,” stated the official press release.
