2016 Dodge Grand Caravan: A Quick Overview

The Dodge Grand Caravan is one of the longest running family vans on the market and also one of the best value. As family haulers go, it offers the most flexible, practical and value for money option on the market right now and the 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan is the best so far.

 

2016 Dodge Grand Caravan design

 

Let's be honest, there isn't much you can do to a minivan to make it look different, edgy or unique. What you can do is make it look as good as it can within the confines of the necessary shape. The 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan is a handsome beast with lots of glass to give as much ight, air and visibility as possible to passengers.

 

On the inside, the cabin is very well designed. Dodge upped their game since the overhaul of 2011. Materials are of a much higher quality, seats are softer and more supportive and the cabin as a whole is much nicer to be inside.

 

The van seats up to eight in comfort with space left over for luggage or cargo in the back. The second and third row can fold down to maximize cargo space should it be needed. Stow N' Go perfectly describes what happens. Seats fold into the floor, giving a perfectly flat surface upon which to slide your cargo. It is as practical as it is innovative and we like it.

 

Engine and transmission

 

There is a single engine and transmission option on the 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan. A 3.5-litre V6 that produces 283 hp, which is mated to a six speed automatic transmission that sends power to the front wheels.

 

The drive is smooth and the power from that V6 becomes available very early in the rev range. The transmission is always on time and ensures a hassle-free experience whether doing the school run or coast to coast road trip.

 

2016 Dodge Grand Caravan summary

 

The 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan is a solid, reliable people mover that offers exceptional value for money. As one of the cheapest on the market, there are no obvious compromises to that value. The interior is nice, the seating is well laid out, Stow N' Go is an obvious winner and the engine is more than capable.

 

Trims include SE, SXT and R/T and offer everything from power sliding door, power liftgate and remote keyless entry to panoramic sunroof, navigation and heated rear seats. The list of options is huge.

 

With good looks, a great engine, space for eight and a refined cabin to seat them all in, it's hard not to recommend the 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan for the modern family.
