Overview

In the realm of midsize passenger vans, the 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan Minivan is well known. Prices go up to an MSRP of $30,695, with a total of 5 trims being offered. With gorgeous, and in fact quite roomy, interiors, the Grand Caravan offers seating for up to 7 people. There is a single-engine on offer, which is a 3.6L V6, attached to a 6-speed automatic transmission, that makes 283 horsepower, and 260 lb-ft of torque. This returns a combined fuel economy of 20 MPG. Despite a curb weight of 4,510 pounds, this engine feels potent enough. Dodge offers a decent amount of practical as well as cosmetic features, further increasing the prospects of the Grand Caravan among competitors like the Kia Sedona Minivan, the Toyota Sienna Minivan, and the Chrysler Town and Country Minivan.

Buying Advice

We are recommending the Express trim which sits in the sweet middle spot and offers more options than the lower two trims. That said, some of the optional packages you should keep eye on during the purchase are the Power Convenience Group I which adds power-adjustable pedals, a power liftgate, power sliding doors, and 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes for $1,325. Also, don’t forget the Entertainment Group 1 Package worth $1,300 for a 6.5-inch touchscreen, satellite radio, wireless headphones, and more.
