Chrysler Grand – the US group's 'Grand' models in Europe: the Grand Voyager van and the Jeep Grand Cherokee sold through Chrysler, 85 to 116 kW, four- to eight-cylinder engines of 2.5 to 5.2 litres
This page gathers Chrysler models with the Grand suffix – above all the Grand Voyager van, plus the Grand Cherokee off-roader, which was sold in Europe through the Chrysler dealer network since Jeep long had no standalone brand presence there. The Grand Voyager arrived in 1990 as an extended version of the Voyager, offering a longer wheelbase and load space for up to seven seats over the standard model; CRD marks the diesel engine, High Roof the raised-roof version, LE, SE and Comm(fort) the trim lines. The Grand Cherokee debuted in 1992 as Jeep's first modern mid-size off-roader with unitary body construction.

The register lists here 23 versions with 85 to 116 kW from four- to eight-cylinders of 2,490 to 5,216 cm³, unladen weights from 1,580 to 2,225 kg, gross weights from 2,400 to 2,775 kg, lengths from 4,900 to 5,140 mm and widths from 1,800 to 2,000 mm.
The Grand Voyager was for years the best-selling van of its class in Europe and, with sliding doors on both sides and removable rear seats, shaped the segment; the Grand Cherokee positioned itself as a more comfortable rival to Land Rover and the Mercedes-Benz M-Class, while remaining a genuine four-wheel-drive off-roader for all its road manners.
On a used Grand Voyager, the condition of the sliding-door mechanism, rust on the sills and the function of the air conditioning count; on the Grand Cherokee, axle suspension, transfer case and, on the V8 engines, the head gasket; on both ranges, the history of the automatic gearbox. Parts run through the Chrysler and Jeep network.
