For 1984, the Plymouth Voyager name returned, introduced as the Plymouth version of the Chrysler minivans, joining the all-new Dodge Caravan. Though the two vehicles shared a distinct model architecture, the minivans shared powertrains with the K-Cars, along with portions of the interior, including the dashboard controls and instrument cluster from the Plymouth Reliant.
The model line was designed with a passenger-side sliding door (like a full-size van), but its front-wheel drive chassis allowed for a lower floor height (closer to a sedan/station wagon); the rear door used a one-piece liftgate, similar to a hatchback or smaller station wagons.
1984-1986 Voyagers could be equipped for five, six, or seven passengers, with an eight-passenger variant available only in 1985. Five-passenger seating, standard on all trim levels, consisted of two front bucket seats and an intermediate three-passenger bench seat. In 1985, on base and SE models, the front buckets could be replaced by a 40/60 split three-passenger bench seat, bringing the total number of occupants to six. Seven-passenger seating was an option on SEs and LEs, with dual front buckets, an intermediate two-passenger bench, and a rear three-passenger bench. Eight-passenger seating was available on SE models only, with both the additional middle two-passenger bench and the three-passenger front bench. Depending on the configuration, the base model could seat up to six, the SE could seat up to eight, and the LE could seat up to seven.
