Power for the Grand Caravan is generated the 3.6L Pentastar V-6 engine joined to a smooth-shifting 62TE six-speed automatic transaxle. The Dodge minivan also features a driver-selectable fuel economizer mode. Drivers can change the transaxle shift schedule with the flip of a switch to maximize their fuel economy.

The Dodge Grand Caravan features industry-exclusive Super Stow ‘n Go seating with easy one-touch operation and more comfortable seats. The second row in the Dodge Grand Caravan can be effortlessly stowed in less than five seconds with just one hand. And when not stowed, only Dodge Grand Caravan allows secure storage in the second row in-floor bins. Also standard on all Grand Caravan models (N/A AVP) is the 50/50 split- folding third row Stow ‘n Go seating.

Inside the passenger cabin a world-class interior greets driver and passengers alike. A modern, one-piece instrument panel is intuitive for the customer with instinctive ergonomics and large gauges, with premium bright accents and soft-touches throughout. An available “super” center console provides clever functionality and storage for the active commuter, as well as easy driver/passenger access with a pass-through storage space for larger items, like a purse.

A three-spoke steering wheel with integrated controls for audio, navigation and speed control also offers a minivan-first heated steering wheel option. The best storage in the segment rounds out the interior.
