Chrysler ecoVoyager Concept: minivan meets sedan?

01/14/2008, 1:04 AM

By admin

Chrysler has unveiled its ecoVoyager Concept, which has room for just four, but features a design with some minivan-like characteristics, including the seating position and individual bucket seats.

While it’s unclear if the ecoVoyager provides some clues to the future of the Voyager minivan, it has a short front end and hatch-like rear that hint to a van connection.

Like Chrysler’s other concepts on display at the Detroit auto show this week, the ecoVoyager is built around some high-tech powertrain technology. The electric motor develops 200 kilowatts (268 horsepower) and has a range of 40 miles on battery power alone.

The ecoVoyager takes advantage of a range extender — in this case, a small hydrogen fuel cell — to extend the vehicle range for occasional long trips. With this technology, the Chrysler ecoVoyager’s total range is greater than 300 miles, while no emissions.

Now THIS is a ChryCo concept. Nice. Real nice, except for that rear overhang.

What the hell is wrong with Chrysler this year? All the concepts are so damn uninspired. This one, apart from the fact that it is really terribly proportioned, looks like the concepts Chrysler presented about 7 or 8 years ago.. Where’s the development?

Chrysler needs to ditch the center line thing and the boat tail thing. It will not work in the real world. It looks too damn forced.

Blah, blah, blah. This is why I hate auto show weeks, we get bombarded by meaningless show cars that will never make production.

What happened to originality, the front is clearly caddy and the rear is from recent lincoln concepts(that will never make it to production….)

will never come out the concept is to bulky, i don’t like it seems like Chrysler has a lot going around with jeep and dodge to. maybe they haven’t been left in the dust with all this electric plug-in and hydrogen technology like i thought.

I’m really hoping this is a leftover Daimler thing, not the technology, but the styling. The Crossfire’s dead. Get on with it. This is just Fugly.

This is actually a very cool looking car. Weirdly original yet familiar. I think this could be a winner. Lovely… Though I might lose the shark fin.

Dare to be bold. Use the a same platform for this (change the name), the Zeo (change the name again), and the Renegade concept, and this could be a triple punch against the Prius or the VOLT.

Over 300 mile range? Without the battery power 40 miles that’s 260 miles on hydrogen. If that is true then that range is so far better that what GM, Ford and Honda has achieve so far. Hate the front and rear design.

It looks like a Cadillac. Only uglier, of course.

Looks like a cheap Chinese rip off of a Cadillac face.
That partership with Chery is already helping Chrysler

I like the lines of this car. Although it probably not a good vehicle: blind spots galore. Can’t imagine how one would drive it on a highway.

It looks a bit like it could be a new NEON.

Okay… so not even. I’m just saying it. That’s all.

Way to go, Chrysler.. go all retro boxy on your production Voyager, then create a swoopy concept and call it “minivan inspired”!! If anything, this is Cadillac inspired.. the grillework is too heavy and the stacked headlights are not at all Chrysler.. and as others have mentioned, just because Cadillac has an edgy concept “theme” that works doesn’t mean Chrysler has to continue using the one that adorns their worst-selling cars (Sebring, Crossfire) on EVERY concept.

This is the worst of the three Chrysler Detroit show concepts. It looks like they pumped a Prius full of steroids and then slapped Chrysler, Cadillac, and Nissan design cues on it to dress it up. I remember the days that Chrysler had some of the most interesting and gorgeous concept cars (Atlantic, Chronos, Phaeton, Helios, Firepower). It seems those days are long gone and forgotten; how I wish they would return.

I like it, it previews something very unique and, not so much good looking, but exciting. I don’t think the rear end matches the front or the window sills; the rear is sort of clunky and non-functional while the rest of the car seems to be pure function.

Really though, I like the looks, it’s extremely bold and a fairly new design; the total opposite of a car like the Borrego. I’m really liking the concepts I’ve seen so far :D

At first look, all I could think was HAAAAA HAAAA HAA HAAA. Really? Somehow, this model achieves avante garde and boring at the same time.
