Chrysler Voyager 2004 vs Dodge Caravan 2001
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.8 Diesel | 3.3 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Chrysler Voyager) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Dodge Caravan) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||
| Camshaft drive: | Timing belt | Timing chain | |
| Timing belt usually needs to be replaced more often than the chain, but it is usually significantly cheaper. Timing belt motors are generally quieter and less vibrating than chain motors. | |||

Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 440'000 km | 480'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Dodge Caravan engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 7 years | 10 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Chrysler Grand Voyager, Jeep Cherokee | Installed on at least 4 other car models, including Chrysler Grand Voyager, Chrysler Voyager, Chrysler Town & Country | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Dodge Caravan might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
