2011 Dodge Grand Caravan

For 2011, Chrysler has rehabilitated Dodge Grand Caravan with a mini-facelift. While nothing has changed on the outside, its plasticky, creaky cabin is much improved and a more powerful engine and refined to give the carrier a family feel cooler.



The minivan massage houses a host of new competitors in the nose. It's an interesting note: in 2011, each new truck for sale in the outcome of the United States through a complete transformation of updates to highlight the Kia Sedona for the complete redesign of the Quest Nissan, Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey.

In a design class that includes new Odyssey minivan side view lightning bolt and Sienna Swagger tarted up, not to mention obvious clues Quest-Flex Grand Caravan suddenly seem more square than ever. Moving through the hinged doors, play areas Caravan dropped gross grain plastic to something more appropriate for adults and high-end. It is with the exception of the fabric: Chrysler Grand Caravan will be under $ 30,000 minivan, and the interior fabric "premium" is not top quality from plastic and metal finish around her. It is a little fuzzy, a little 80's vintage Korean and leather is one option on the first two trim packages.

Chrysler has entered the list of engines available for you. Each Grand Caravan powers on the road to high school with 283 horsepower, 3.6-liter V-6, hampered by a six-speed automatic transmission. The Chrysler Pentastar is now that Nissan's VQ V-6 is unique in the new home, the Pentastar sounds softer and more compatible, while Nissan V-6 has been made more bad mood over time.

Minibuses are on passengers and cargo utility, first and foremost, and the Grand Caravan is comfortable as possible. The seat-folding second row is a great idea. We never heard a boy on beef compromise thin seat cushions, but it is true is difficult to remove business-class seats in the Sienna and Odyssey would be the preferred choice for adults on tour. Base Van, seven points, three rows of seats added on Stow 'n Go second-row seats fold and the third and you get another turn in 2011 as a one-touch folding mechanism and power folding the third row bench.

The driver of trailer with a cavalcade of electronic goodies that are only surpassed by the Ford Flex car with a bonus on the list intangible TV. On the exotic side, we sold the last one, cheaper, high-tech piece: a USB key to 3G, which transforms the Grand Caravan into a WiFi hotspot, it lacks its own Barista and a host of funemployed Table-occupants. We choose Sirius BackseatTV and SpongeBob marathon and high-end models can be equipped with a hard-drive, navigation, satellite radio and Bluetooth.
