ProsConsWhat's New

Affordable starting price and offers a long list of features.

Cabin materials leave a lot to be desired.

Remains mostly unchanged for 2018.

Very user-friendly stow and go 2nd row seats.

Frustratingly slow infotainment system.

Plenty of cargo space and small storage space.

Bluetooth and phone connectivity features aren't offered standard.

In the realm of midsize passenger vans, the 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan minivanis well known. Prices go up to an MSRP of $34,495, with a total of 3 trims being offered. With gorgeous, and in fact quite roomy interiors, the Grand Caravan minivan offers seating for up to 7 people.  

There is a single engine on offer, which is a 3.6L V6 engine, attached to a6-speed automatic transmissionthat 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 minivan among competitors like the Honda Odyssey, the Toyota Sienna, and the Chrysler Pacifica.

              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.

              Dodge Grand Caravan

              Pros - ["Space for family", "Comfortable seating", "Bluetooth radio/built in GPS Navigation"]

              Cons - ["Transmission had to be rebuilt at 70,000 miles", "Not much storage space", "Burns oil occasionally"]

              The 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan is a robust family vehicle. It has automatic doors, GPS Navigation, Bluetooth/Satilite Radio, and in the winter it auto defrosts/heats the seats on the coldest days. The seats can be activated manually too.
