The EcoVoyager isn't quite as practical as the production Voyager - it only has four seats - but its hydrogen-powered fuel cell powertrain with 200kW motor, packaged beneath the floor rather than under the front bonnet, gives zero emissions and allows for a roomy cabin. It's theoretically capable of 0-60mph in less than eight seconds and has a range between refuelling stops of 300 miles. Is it a preview of the next Voyager? Nope: at just 4,856mm long, 1,915mm wide and 1,600mm tall, it's significantly smaller and we reckon it might just give a few clues to a model intended to replace both the PT Cruiser and Pacifica.
