Overview

In the realm of midsize vans, the 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan is well known. Prices go up to MSRP $32,495, with a total of 6 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 engine, 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 Honda Odyssey, the Toyota Sienna, and the Chrysler Pacifica.

Buying Advice

If you aren't particularly looking for an affordable minivan, we'd recommend skipping the American value package and SE trim level. But if you're looking for a value for money trim, our pick is the $26,195 SE Plus trim level that adds an improved list of features such as the stow and go seats, special upholstery, overhead console, power windows, and a few other features.
