2020 Chrysler VoyagerFCA Chrysler’s new-old Voyager minivan nameplate might wear a Dodge Grand Caravan badge in Canada and wind up being the inevitable replacement for that aging model, according to a new report from Allpar.com.Its all a bit confusing, as the Grand Caravan is supposed to be discontinued come May 2020, but for us Canadians, the nameplate won’t be tossed out but instead tossed over to the Chrysler division to sit on its new economy-spec version of the Pacifica van, the Voyager.The reason FCA wants to keep the Dodge nameplate around in Canada might purely be for marketing, reasons as Canadians seem to covet the Dodge more than the Chrysler.In 2018 the Dodge Caravan outsold every other minivan on the market, including the Chrysler Pacifica, so this could be a chance for FCA to subtly move some of that success toward the Chrysler brand.The Voyager is really nothing more than just a re-badged version of the lowest L and LX trim Pacifica anyway. It seems weird to have a totally different nameplate for whats essentially the same van in a neighbouring market, but maybe the plan will work for FCA.While the current Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Pacifica are similar only in minivan body style, they have vastly different styling and a vastly different price. The Pacifica can be as cheap as $36,995, but the Grand Caravan undercuts that by another $5,250.If these rumours are true, the Grand Caravan name would continue to be worn by the cheapest minivan, and would likely still be the best-selling, if FCA keeps it around. The Pacifica, meanwhile, will be positioned as a step up for buyers who are hoping for a more luxury-minded
