IMHO, you have two different questions here
1) Can you use moOde instead of Volumio with your current hardware?
Short answer: yes. Longer answer: yes, once you've configured moOde to use the same hardware.
2) Can you implement voice control of your car player irrespective of it being moOde or Volumio?
Short answer: no. Longer answer: there are API hooks in moOde (and, I assume, in Volumio) to which folks have connected various handheld controllers (IR or radio-freq). There are a number of open-source voice-activation software projects which could be tied to them instead, at least to implement simple commands such as: play, pause/stop, louder, softer, next/previous selection.
I've done several different kinds of handhelds, and I've thought about the voice-activated control problem, but I decided I had higher priority projects on my docket. Maybe someone else has a ready-to-use solution.
Of course, this being DIY-land, you're free to tackle the problem yourself.
