CHRYSLER VOYAGER (2001- TO DATE)克莱斯勒旅行者(2001年至今)
The Chrysler Voyager offers a rather more upmarket alternative to the run of the mill MPV crop, focusing on road presence and prestige.克莱斯勒旅行者提供了一个较为高档在逃的替代作物巡逻艇轧机、围绕公路存在和威信. Offering a rather more polished look and feel to its predecessor, which ran from 1997 to 2001, the MK2 Voyager has remained the world?s best selling MPV and with good reason.提供一个较为精致的外观到942所,从1997年至2001年出现,MK2在旅行者的世界依然?出售巡逻艇和良好的最佳理由. The ?97-?01 Voyager incarnation was the first we saw in the UK and, though large and well equipped, had serious flaws when it came to questions of handling, ride and safety.<?97-?1901年,我们首先看到的是旅行者的替身,在英国,虽然大而精良,有严重缺陷的问题来处理时,乘坐安全. This current generation model rectifies these shortcomings and offers a strong challenge to the best that Europe and Japan can offer.这一代提供了示范和纠正这些弊端的强烈挑战,欧洲和日本的最佳卖点.
HISTORY历史
The first five-door Voyagers arrived here in March 1997 (though there were some unofficial left-hand drive imports before this).一五97年3月抵达大门过人(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. There was also a lengthened version called the Grand Voyager that majored on sheer space.还有一个加长版本,主修就叫做盛大明目太空旅行者.
The range was thoroughly revised in February 2001 and that?s the line-up we?re looking at here.射程在2001年2月被彻底修改?收盘排队?再看看这里. Owners of the previous model wouldn?t have any trouble recognising one, for the look is little different, with both standard and Grand Voyager bodystyles on offer.拥有上届示范wouldn?笔都承认一个什么麻烦,因为看什么不同,既有标准和盛大旅行者bodystyles投标. In fact, the exterior visual changes are so few - wider wheelarches and a deeper front grille with PT Cruiser-style headlamps - that you might mistake this for a facelift rather than an all-new car.事实上,外观视觉变化等几个经济学wheelarches门前花砖和更深铂巡洋舰式大灯--你可能以为这个整容而非一支全新轿车. Chrysler is unapologetic, unwilling to change what has proved to be a winning formula.克莱斯勒是毫无悔意,不愿改变什么已被证明是一个致胜方程式.
Where change was needed was under the bonnet ?那里需要的是改变下头盖? and it was duly provided.正是妥. Petrol customers choose between two engines ?汽油发动机两种选择客户? a 150bhp 2.4-litre four cylinder unit and a 3.3-litre V6 with a power hike from 158 to 180bhp.一150bhp2.4公升四汽缸股和3.3升V6导同月上涨了158至180bhp功率. These are primarily for the US market however: European family buyers are understandably reluctant to incur the running costs that come with a car which will average little more than 23mpg.这主要是美国市场,但:欧洲买家都不愿承担家庭的日常费用,以一辆车开后将略高于23mpg. Which is why the most significant part of this latest model lies in its 2.5-litre turbodiesel engine.这就是最重要的部分,这就是它最新型号2.5公升turbodiesel发动机.
In Spring 2004, a larger 2.8-litre CRD turbo diesel was unveiled to power top spec Voyagers and the Grand Voyager.2004年春,一个更大2.8公升柴油涡轮社区揭幕执政高层光谱过人和宏伟旅行者. It?s arrival coincided with a facelift for the whole range which included a new chrome grille and projector headlamps.?收盘到来正值整容的一系列新铬格栅包括投影机、大灯.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
Inside, it?s much as before: this is still the largest MPV in its class.内?收盘前十分:这是最大的巡逻艇依然在上课. In standard form, you get two individual seats in the middle which flip forward for easy access to the foldaway three person bench at the rear (which can be swapped for two individual seats).标准表格你得两个席位中的个体翻盖向前折叠,方便了三个台阶,在后方的人(其中两个独立座椅可以调换). As usual, all the seats can be removed or folded into makeshift tables but they don?t slide back and forth (a la Espace) to increase either centre legroom or rear luggage space.如常所有的座位可以拆除或并入不堪桌但鲍思?笔滑来回(一腊协商)增加或者销售legroom或后方行李空间. Chrysler has missed a trick here.克莱斯勒错过此一伎俩.
The short wheelbase model offers 450 litres of storage space behind the rear third row of seats or, if that isn't enough, the long wheelbase Grand Voyager version has 671 litres, as well as 150mm more cabin space.短轴距模式提供450公升的后方仓库后面第三排座位或者如果这还不够,大长轴距版本已经旅行者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 - almost enough to move house with.采取一切但前座爆发、4880年大容量公升上涨至接近够搬家.
Nice touches include optional electric operation for the sliding side doors and tailgate ?尼斯触及包括择电动滑动侧车门和运行栏板? which would be a real boon in the supermarket carpark with your hands are full of shopping.这是一个真正有担当的超市停车场都是满手的购物. Another extra worth having is the optional cargo organiser for the boot, which neatly divides the space into three separate cargo bays.另一个值得拥有额外的主办单位是择货靴、而整齐的空间划分为3个货运泊位. For stowing smaller items, there?s a removable central storage box, which slots into place between either of the front two rows of seats.装载较小物品?收盘抽取式储存箱中,这两种之间的时段进入前两排座位. The three-zone air conditioning?s neat too, with the temperature for rear seat occupants controlled by a panel in the roof lining.三带空调?收盘太干净,随着温度控制占用后座小组在屋顶衬砌. As you?d expect, cup holders are everywhere and the multi-speaker Infiniti stereo system is brilliant.如你?预计四、持有杯丛生、多讲infiniti立体声系统是辉煌的.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Pricing kicks off at £10,200 for a 2001 X plated 2.4-litre SE with an 02 plated example fetching around £11,800.在揭幕定价为2001×10200英镑镀2.4公升硒与镀为例取1902年11,800英镑左右. Opt instead for the big power of the 3.3-litre engine and you?ll need at least £10,600 or £12,300 for an 02-plated version.而选择了大国的3.3公升引擎,你呢?当地至少需要10,600英镑或12,300英镑的1902年镀版本. Just make sure you?ve got enough left over for the fuel bills.只看重你?味够遗留的燃料法案. If pump prices are an issue, the 2.5-lutre turbodiesel model will be the one you should refer to, and these open at just over £10,700 in SE guise with the plusher LX variants commanding an additional £600 premium.如果零售价是一个问题,2.5lutreturbodiesel模型将一个你应该参考、而这些在上午刚刚超过10,700英镑打着硒与车窗变种lx指挥600英镑的额外保险费. Grand Voyager variants tend to retail at around £3,000 above the price of Voyager models.盛大旅行者往往变零售约为3000英镑以上的价格旅行者型号. Insurance for the Voyager is reasonable given the improved safety and security of the post-2001 model with ratings ranging between Groups 14 and 15.为旅行者保险给予合理改进安全二零零一年后模型收视群体14和15不等.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
With a vastly improved diesel engine and tighter quality control, the latest Voyager is a far safer used proposition than its rather less resolved predecessor.大大改善了柴油机、严格质量管理、最新旅行者是远远超过其命题比较少用安全解决前身. The interiors now look a good deal better bolted together although some of the plastics quality of the minor parts can be surprisingly insubstantial.现在看很大的腹地螺栓好起来虽然有些塑料部件质量小,可出乎意料的港股. Given that kids seem to have an uncanny propensityt to locate a dodgy moulding and then kick it clean off, it may pay to go over the interior of any prospective purchase with a fine toothed comb and be prepared to negotiate hard.由于孩子似乎已经找到了一种不可思议propensityt地方法院成型干净,然后踢它出去,也许付出细谈内政部有意购买者提供了良好的任何齿梳子,并准备谈判难.
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. Check the body extremities for parking scrapes ?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 2001 2.4-litre SE ? approx excl VAT) A replacement clutch assembly will be about £320.(按2001年2.4公升硒?大约不包括增值税)更换离合器大会将于约320英镑. A new starter motor is close to £295, a radiator is around £495 and a replacement headlamp will cost you around £210.新起动马达接近295英镑,一、散热器约为495英镑更换前照灯会使你210英镑左右.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
The Voyager?s hi-tech 140bhp diesel powerplant is a world away from the wheezy old unit it replaced, with a CV featuring all the latest industry buzz words: common rail, 16 valves, twin overhead camshafts and twin balancer shafts.<旅行者?收盘高科技140bhp柴油动力是世界远离喘息取代旧股,与美国CV展出了最新的行业为空谈:共轨,16气阀,双凸轮轴、架空孪生平衡槽. As a result, it?s far quieter than its predecessor and has far more acceptable levels of performance (0-60mph in 13.5s on the way to 115mph).由于?收盘为止,宁静已经远远超过942可接受水平表现(0-60mph的方式在13.5s115mph). Fuel consumption?s good too: you should average around 35mpg, with over 40mpg perfectly possible on longer trips.油耗?收盘不错:你应该平均约为35mpg,就完全可以再超过40mpg人次.
In fact, the only real drawback is pulling power.事实上,唯一真正缺点是拉动力. Don?t get us wrong ?鲍思?笔会令我们错了? there?s plenty of it: some 230Ib ft, which is more than the 3.3-litre V6.?收盘很多:有的230ib尺,超过3.3升V6导. The problem is the relatively narrow rev range over which it?s developed ?问题是它相对狭小晨曦射程超过?收盘发达? which necessitates over-frequent use of the baulky manual gearbox.其中需要过度频繁使用的手工baulky变速箱. All of which makes the automatic gearbox (standard only on the 3.3 V6) a must-have option.所有这些都使得自动变速箱(仅3.3V6导标准)必须有选择.
All of which is entirely appropriate for this is still not a car to reward enthusiastic drivers in the mould of a Galaxy/Sharan/Alhambra.所有这一切,是完全适合这还不是汽车司机,以奖励热心于模荟萃/润/alhambra. The presence of rather antiquated leaf-sprung rear suspension might warn you of that before you even set out.在场而过时叶后方突然中止警告你,你可能连列. But then, driving satisfaction is pretty low down on the priority list for potential buyers of cars like these.但是,驾驶满意程度参差不齐击先后次序有意购买这些车. More important is ride quality, an area in which the Voyager shines, ironing out potholes and undulations with aplomb.更重要的是乘坐品质,在这方面旅行者闪耀,整烫出坑洞、起伏与挥洒自如. As a result, there is no other car in the class better at cosseting you over long journeys.由于没有任何其他轿车的一流好拥抱你了远行.
Another thing you should notice over the bumps is the general lack of shudder and vibration, courtesy of a 20% increase in torsional stiffness.另一件事是你应该通知了坎坷和震动普遍缺乏发抖,双人增加20%扭刚度. As a result, there?s great body control which means that piloting a Voyager around country roads makes you feel less like you?re at the helm of a bus.由于?这意味着巨大的身体控制全国各地道路驾驶旅行者让你感觉那么喜欢你?一辆巴士在重新掌舵. The main reason for all that extra stiffness of course was to sort out some of the safety issues that tripped up the old car.主要原因当然是所有额外刚度整理一些安全问题老猫旧汽车. These have been duly addressed ?这些都得到了应有的处理? though at the cost of a lot of extra weight, one reason why even the 3.3 V6 fails to feel that rapid.虽然在很多额外费用体重原因之一3.3V6导甚至不觉得快.
OVERALL 总体
The Chrysler Voyager isn?t the cheapest full-sized MPV to run.克莱斯勒旅行者肖国?最便宜的全笔型巡逻艇办. In fact unless you opt for the diesel-engined variant, the fuel bills can burn a pretty sizeable hole in the monthly budget.事实上,除非你选择了柴油引擎变种、燃料燃烧相当可观洞法案能在每月预算. Despite this caveat, the Voyager offers a level of prestige that?s probably only matched by the latest Renault Espace variants and it?s a good deal more affordable than this very expensive option.尽管这点,旅行者提供了珍贵的程度为何?配合最新的大概只有雷诺和协商变?收盘很大负担比这更昂贵的选择.
