For 2012, E-Series vans and wagons are available in a new exterior color – Steel Blue Metallic – and now include an audio input jack as standard equipment.

The E-Series van rides on a full-frame body-on-chassis platform. A re-engineered front suspension utilizes an all-new geometry and larger sway bars to provide a better stance and firmly plant the front end to the road. New valve technology on the rear shock absorbers further enhances the E-Series ride and handling while upgrades to the steering system provide a better on center feel and reduced steering efforts, adding to the feeling of confidence.
