2020 Dodge Grand Caravan

Pros: Passenger and cargo versatility; affordable base prices

Cons: Lackluster handling and road holding; interior trimmings aren’t as upscale as competitive minivans; large turning radius hampers close-quarter maneuverability

CG Says: The 2020 Dodge Grand Caravan adds standard second-row Stow ‘n Go bucket seats on the SE Plus model, but is otherwise unchanged. The 2020 Grand Caravan is not available in California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington. With the introduction of the Chrysler Pacifica minivan for 2017, FCA dropped the Chrysler Town & Country. However, Caravan production continues as a low-cost alternative to the more modern and luxurious Chrysler Pacifica and Voyager. The Grand Caravan minivan has three rows of seats for up to seven passengers. A 283-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission is the sole powertrain. Grand Caravan’s durable interior materials and low pricing are appealing in their own rights. Grand Caravan still has excellent cargo flexibility. It might not have the outstanding ride/handling combination of the Honda Odyssey or the Toyota Sienna’s available all-wheel drive, but Grand Caravan might have the best overall balance of the primary attributes that are most attractive to minivan shoppers. Its overall excellence and low price should earn it a spot on your shopping list.
