LOWER emissions and improved economy are key features of an improved version of Chrysler's Grand Voyager diesel.

The latest 2010 model also features additional safety equipment in the shape of active headrests and cosmetic changes to the fascia designed to further enhance the big MPV's premium interior.

There are three trim levels, each coming with a six-speed automatic gearbox and a choice of either the 2.8-litre turbo diesel engine or a 3.8-litre V6 petrol engine.

The diesel engine has been tweaked to reduce CO emissions by 10 per cent and has dropped a tax band saving £200 of vehicle excise duty in the first year. Fuel economy has also improved by over 10 per cent and the oil burner now returns up to 33.6 mpg on the combined cycle.

Prices range from £26,995 for the LX entry model to £35,495 for the 3.8-litre petrol model.
