CHRYSLER VOYAGER (1997 - 2001)克莱斯勒旅行者(1997至2001年)
If you want to upset a Chrysler executive, tell him that Renault was first to invent the modern large MPV people carrier with the Espace, which arrived in Britain in 1985.如果你想打破一项克莱斯勒长官雷诺告诉他,当初发明人的现代大型巡逻艇与承运人协商,抵达英国于1985年. He?ll soon tell you that, in fact, the Michigan company began work on what they then termed a ?Super Wagon' way back in 1978.他?当地很快告诉你,其实密歇根公司就开始了他们的工作则称为?超级车'早在1978年. When what Chrysler eventually called the Voyager was finally launched Stateside in 1983, Uncle Sam and his family took to it immediately.当克莱斯勒终于什么叫旅行者终于在美国推出1983年大叔和他的家人走上立即. Over 210,000 were sold in the very first year, sending rival makers scurrying back to their drawing boards.在售出超过210,000十分第一年送对手庄家窜回自己绘画板. Today, with around six million sold since the car's original introduction, it is the undisputed MPV world leader, a position strengthened by the third generation version launched to the rest of the world in 1994.今天,大约有600万出售自车的原介绍,这是无可争议的巡逻艇世界领袖能够加强版推出第三代世界其余1994. However, until 1997, Chrysler ignored the UK market.但是,直到1997年,英国克莱斯勒忽视的市场. That was because, until recently, right hand drive buyers here saw People Carrying MPVs as glorified minibuses rather than real cars.这是因为,直到最近,人们在这里看到驾驶右手买家为歌颂mpvs携带小型轿车而非实质. Now of course, with almost every franchise fielding at least one MPV range, it's very different and Chrysler's UK importers are a major player in the market.当然现在,几乎每一个专利至少派出巡逻艇靶场这是非常不同而克莱斯勒的英国进口商市场的主要参与者. If you want one of the biggest MPV People Carriers available, the Voyager is now plentiful on the used market and well worth a look.如果你想要一个人最大的巡逻艇携带者提供丰富的旅行者现在就用市场值得一看.
HISTORY历史
The five-door Voyager arrived here in March 1997 (though there were some unofficial left-hand drive imports before this).五门旅行者抵达1997年3月(虽然有一些非官方左驾驶进口前). The first examples had either the 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine introduced with the Neon the previous year or a 3.3-litre V6.第一例子已经不是2.0公升4缸发动机引进与霓虹上年3.3升V6导. Automatic transmission was standard with the V6 and the four was offered only with a five-speed manual.自动变速器是标准的V6和4只提供了5速手册. Note, too, that only the four-cylinder models offered the alternative of five or seven-seat SE trim as well as the more luxurious seven-seat LE.同时亦注意到只有四个缸型号提供选择5至7座硒浪以及更豪华的七座位乐.
There was also a lengthened version called the Grand Voyager offered (initially) only as a 3.3V6 auto with LE trim.还有一家叫做盛大旅行者提供加长版本(最初)他只是个3.3v6汽车与乐浪.
American vehicles sold in the UK are generally well equipped (?fully loaded? as the Americans say) and the Voyagers were no exception.美国汽车销售在英国普遍精良(?满载?由于美国人说)和过人也不例外. Even the base SE had anti-lock brakes, remote central locking, air conditioning, dual airbags, power windows and mirrors, an immobiliser and an RDS stereo with four speakers.硒已连基地防抱死制动系统、遥感中心锁定、空调、双气袋、电镜、窗户、一个锁和铁路立体四讲. LE versions added cruise control, power-adjusted driver?s seat, adjustable steering column, alloy wheels, a roof rack and front fog lights.乐版本增加巡航控制、电力驱动的调整?收盘议席可调督导专栏合金轮子,屋顶和货架前雾灯.
An even more luxurious, leather-trimmed LX version of the Grand Voyager arrived in September 1998 but, more importantly for buyers with fuel economy in mind, so did a full range of VM-engined 2.5-litre turbodiesel variants in five and seven-seat SE and seven-seat LE forms.更豪华,皮革裁剪lx版1998年9月来到宏伟旅行者但是更重要的是为买家提供燃料的经济头脑,这样做全套船民引擎2.5公升turbodiesel变种五、七座位硒、七座位乐形式. More recently, the diesel option was extended to the longer Grand Voyager models, again with a choice of SE or LE trim.最近,柴油期权延伸至长远盛大旅行者型号再次选择乐硒或修剪. A thoroughly revised Voyager was announced for the 2001 model year.一个彻底修改旅行者宣布对2001年示范.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
As mentioned, there are entry-level five-seat SE variants, but those apart, all Voyagers comes with seven seats ?正如有职有五个议席硒变种,但这些遥远,一切过人⊙七席? individual ?captains chairs?个人?舰长椅子? for the first two rows and a comfortable fold-away bench at the very back.两排为第一、舒适褶皱合议庭以外的非常早. As usual in MPVs, you can fold, reverse or remove the seats as you wish.如常mpvs,你可以折叠,推翻或撤销座位如意.
Where the Voyager is almost unique however, is in the way that it solves the traditional People Carrying bugbear.那里几乎是独一无二的旅行者但其解决办法是在继承传统的人想到. It's all very well being able to seat up to seven people but where on earth do you put their luggage?这一切能很好多达七个席位,但在地球上的人,你把行李? Buy a Ford Galaxy/VW Sharan/SEAT Alhambra (all the same design) or indeed the Peugeot 806/Citroen Synergie/Fiat Ulysse (another joint effort) and you'll probably also have to buy a roof-box.买福特银河/64+15润/座位阿罕布拉(所有同一设计)或什标致806/citroen协同/菲亚特ulysse(另一联手)、您大概也得买顶盒.
The Voyager's different.<旅行者的不同. For a start, the short wheelbase model offers 450 litres of storage space behind the rear third row of seats - much more than the competition.一开始短轴距模式提供450公升的后方仓库后面第三排座位-比对手. Moreover, if that isn't enough, then there's that long wheelbase Grand Voyager model which offers 671 litres, as well as 150mm more cabin space.此外,如果这还不够,还有那么长轴距盛大模式旅行者提供671公升,以及150多舱空间. Take all but the front seats out and the capacity rises to a vast 4880 litres ?采取一切但前座爆发、4880年大容量公升上涨? almost enough to move house with.几乎不够搬家.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
The least that you'll find a Voyager for will be about £5,500, which buys you an early 1997P five-seater 2.0-litre SE manual.至少怪怪旅行者将大约为5500英镑,其中买你早日1997p五座2.0公升硒手册. Add about £500 for a seven-seater (from 97R) and another £200 or so for LE trim.约500英镑,加上一个七座位(97r)200英镑左右,另外乐浪. A more recent 2000 V-plate SE will cost around £7,200 with the LE commanding £7,700 or thereabouts.最近00年更V型钢板硒将耗资约7200英镑7700英镑同乐指挥左右.
The first of the 1997P 3.3-litre LE models should cost around £6,000.第一条1997p3.3公升乐6000英镑左右的费用应该模范. Add another £700 or so for the long-wheelbase Grand Voyager variant.另加入700英镑左右的长轴距盛大旅行者变种. The plush Grand Voyager LX version starts on 98S plates at about £8,500.长毛绒盛大的旅行者lx版开始98s板8500英镑左右. A 2001 X-reg example of the 3.3-litre engined Voyager will be more like £10,300 with its larger sibling at £11,200 or £11,800 in Limited trim.2001年X光再生范例3.3公升引擎更像旅行者将以其较大的弟妹在10,300英镑11,200英镑11,800英镑或有限修剪.
The turbo diesels also start on 98S plates at around £7,500 for a five-seat SE.柴油机的涡轮98s板块也开始为7500英镑左右,有五个议席硒. Add about £250 for seven seats and another £350 or so for plusher LE trim.七个议席增加约250英镑和350英镑左右车窗另乐浪. The Grand Voyager with the turbo diesel engine starts at £8,100 and reaches £11,200 for 2001 X-reg models while the Voyager diesels retail from about £10,100 in SE trim on the same plate.宏伟的旅行者涡轮柴油机8100英镑始于2001年,并达11200英镑的X改变生产模式,而从旅行者柴油零售约在10,100英镑浪硒对同一板块.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
The Italian-made VM turbo diesels need their oil changed more regularly than the petrol models so check the vehicle's service records to make sure the former owners have done so.意大利制造柴油涡轮船民更需要定期更换油料比汽油车检查等型号的服务纪录,使前业主做. US engines are renowned for going long distances without trouble and the petrol-powered cars have no known problem areas but, as with the diesels, a service history is always desirable and may help when selling on.美国知名引擎故障而走长途无汽油的车没有问题,但众所周知,作为与柴油,历史总是最好的服务时,可以出售.
The interiors are well enough assembled though the plastics used aren?t up to the best European standards.虽然内部有足够的组装用塑料西哈莫尼?笔最多最好的欧洲标准. Check that all the 'convenience' features like the central locking, electric windows and mirrors plus the air conditioning are working properly as they?re expensive to fix.检查所有的'方便'的特点,如环锁,加上电动窗、空调镜子他们正在妥善?再昂贵的修理. Also look for worn interior trim as a result of hard family use and check the body extremities for parking scrapes ?内政部还穿着笔挺找由于家庭用辛勤和停车检查身体四肢擦伤? these cars are often driven by people unused to their sheer bulk.这些车往往驱使人们热衷处处大宗.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(Based on a 1998 2.0-litre SE ? approx excl VAT) A replacement clutch assembly will be about £340.(基于19982.0公升硒?大约不包括增值税)更换离合器大会将于3400英镑左右. A new starter motor is close to £270, a radiator is around £470 and a replacement headlamp will cost you around £170.新起动马达接近270英镑,一、散热器约为470英镑更换前照灯会使你170英镑左右.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
The two-litre Neon engine does surprisingly well to deal with the Voyager?s considerable bulk but, with a 0-60mph time of over 13 seconds, it?s probably just as well it comes only with the five-speed manual ?box.两公升引擎是否出奇好霓虹灯处理旅行者?收盘相当大宗,但以0-60mph的时间超过13秒?收盘大概也是刚刚才到五速手册?信箱. Still, use it wisely and performance isn?t too bad.还有,用得其所表现肖国?笔太坏. If you can afford the heftier fuel bills, the 3.3-litre V6 is much quieter and smoother helped in no small part by the four-speed automatic with its shift lever mounted on the right of the steering column, saving costs on the right-hand-drive conversion, you might suspect.如果你能负担heftier燃料法案3.3升V6导十分宁静和流畅帮助不小部分由四速自动转向杠杆安装在其权利督导专栏节省成本的右转换,你可能怀疑.
The VM turbodiesel is not the best of its type in terms of refinement but nevertheless pulls lustily through the gears and returns far better economy than the V6 ?船民turbodiesel并不是最好的,但精致型的齿轮拉拔lustily通过经济和效益远远高于V6导? around 33mpg compared with 23.大约33mpg比23. However, the diesel offers very little improvement in economy over the petrol four (33mpg vs. 31mpg) and is a bit slower off the mark, so it might pay to try one before you part with the £1,200 or so extra usually asked.但是柴油经济带来多大的改善比汽油4(33mpg矛31mpg)是有点慢序幕马克所以它可能是在你付出努力的一部分1200英镑左右,通常多问.
The Voyager?s handling isn?t quite on a par with the Ford Galaxy/VW Sharan/SEAT Alhambra products ?<旅行者?肖国收盘处理吗?笔刚好与福特银河/64+15润/座位阿罕布拉产品? but then this is a bigger car.但是这是一个大的汽车. Nevertheless, it?s surprisingly good for a model developed primarily for American tastes.尽管如此,它?出乎意料的好典范发展,主要是为美国人的口味.
OVERALL 总体
One of the original 1984 model Voyagers now sits in the Henry Ford Museum in America, its development hailed as "one of the shrewdest business decisions in modern automotive times".其中原正端坐在1984年示范过人亨利福特博物馆在美国其发展被誉为"现代经营决策的shrewdest汽车时代". Chances are that if you end up spending your money Chrysler's way, you might end up feeling much the same about it.如果你有机会到钱克莱斯勒落得轻松的方式,你可能会落得同样的感觉非常关注.
