Overview

In the realm of midsize passenger vans, the 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan is well known. The Grand Caravan gives you the capacity to seat 7 people for a starting price of MSRP $27,090. Prices go all the up to MSRP $35,490, with a total of 4 trims being offered. 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 Chrysler Pacifica, the Honda Odyssey, the Kia Sedona, and the Toyota Sienna.

Buying Advice

The Grand Caravan is a versatile and affordable passenger van that's perfect for hauling people and cargo. The base SE trim has most of what people want and need. Still, you might want to consider upgrading it with a few options like the Stow 'n Go seats and the Uconnect multimedia system. If you're going to be doing a lot of hauling, then Mobility Prep Package II is worth the investment. However, if you are one of the shoppers who prefer luxury, the SXT and GT trims offer decent creature comforts, but they come at a price. Choose wisely and you'll be happy with your 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan.

              Great vehicle

              Pros - ["Great control", "Super comfortable seating", "Great speed"]

              Cons - ["Wish it was a five lug not a four lug", "wasn't very sturdy", "Not too good on gas"]

              I bought my car used 2012 Subaru the performance of the car is really good handling is amazing and it grips the corners nicely. Although it doesn't get good MPG it does have a pretty decent tank size of 17 gallons. If you like Subarus I recommend a Subaru to anybody.

              Great vehicle

              Pros - ["It has plenty of space for our family", "back up camera"]

              Cons - ["there's not enough cup holders", "Uses a lot of gas"]

              I love that our van is higher off the ground so its easier for me to get in and out of with my bad back. It drives very well and the performance is great. The interior is very nice and well taken care of. The back up camera makes it easy to see if there's anything behind you before you back up. The seats are comfortable.
