Chrysler introduced the new Grand Voyager for 2008 and successfully positioned it in the automotive market as a luxury MPV suited for large families. The Grand Voyager is visually identical to the Chrysler Town & Country which is sold in the North American and South American markets. In similar fashion to the other large multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs) on the market the Grand Voyager is sold with a standard diesel engine in Europe. The Grand Voyager is also sold in some Asian countries, like Singapore and South Korea.
However, the seating is arranged in the 2-2-3 (front to rear) layout common in North America, rather than the 2-3-2 layout often seen in SUVs and MPVs in Europe. On right hand drive (RHD) models the gear shift lever is placed on a floor-mounted console between the seats, in contrast to the instrument panel positioning found on LHD models.
One may also notice it has been used in the TV show The Apprentice to carry Lord Sugar's apprentices to their destination (as well as the model that preceded this one).
