Dodge Grand Caravan Model Highlights


Dodge Grand Caravan Pros
The Grand Caravan was one of the first minivans to make it big in North America, and it's still one of the best. The base Grand Caravan starts under $25,000 and that brings a 6-speed automatic, heated power mirrors, keyless entry, 3-zone air conditioning and standard stability control, tire pressure monitoring and a host of air bags. EPA-estimated mileage on the highway is a strong 24 mpg.

Dodge Grand Caravan Model Highlights
There are three Grand Caravan trims for 2011: Express, Mainstreet and Crew. All Grand Caravans come with a 3.6L V6 engine that makes 283 hp and a 6-speed automatic with Autostick manual control. Anti-lock brakes, tire-pressure monitoring, multi-stage front air bags and supplemental side curtain air bags for all three rows of seats are standard equipment, which contributed to its across-the-board 5-star safety ratings from the NHTSA. All Grand Caravans also get the electronic stability program. The Crew gets a ParkView back-up camera. Convenience is a must in any minivan. All Grand Caravans get the 3rd-row Stow-and-Go seats that fold completely into the floor to maximize cargo space. The base Express Grand Caravan gets heated power mirrors, automatic headlamps, dual sliding doors, a CD/MP3 stereo with an audio input, power windows, power locks, keyless entry and 3-zone air conditioning. The Mainstreet trim adds aluminum wheels, one-touch power windows, power-operated 2nd-row and rear quarter windows. The Crew trim adds 17-inch aluminum wheels, roof rails, fog lamps and power-sliding doors. The stereo becomes a complete media center including a 30GB hard drive, a 6.5-inch touch screen, a DVD player and satellite radio. Both front seats are power-adjustable, the steering wheel is leather-wrapped and there's a 115V real power outlet. If the rear seat passengers prefer to ignore their siblings and parents, a rear-seat DVD entertainment system is available, it includes a 9-inch video screen, wireless headphones and a remote control. Other options include the Driver Convenience Group, which includes heated seats, a USB port for iPod input and Bluetooth. A power liftgate, navigation and a 500-watt stereo upgrade are also available. The Grand Caravan can be outfitted for towing up to 3,600 lbs. with the Trailer Tow Group, which includes a heavy-duty radiator, transmission oil cooler, load-leveling and wiring harness.
