Voyager's 2001 redesign was thorough, yet styling changes were evolutionary, and they carry over for 2002. The Voyager and Voyager eC are easy to distinguish from the LX: the door handles, lower bumpers and cladding are molded in black rather than painted to match the body. The standard wheel covers are attractive, and difficult to discern from alloy wheels at a distance of more than a few feet. In short, the Voyager remains one of the most handsome minivans extant, regardless of the trim level.All models feature sliding rear doors on both sides, and they open with minimal effort. The rear gate lifts just as easily, and features standard lamps that flood light on the pavement below. The overhaul for '01 focused on things that don't necessarily meet the eye. Voyager's body shell was strengthened and tightened, and noise, vibration and harshness were significantly reduced. Nearly every interior dimension increased at least slightly, and the wheels were moved further toward the corners of the vehicle. That increases space inside, and improves balance and stability when the Voyager is underway.
