2010 Dodge Grand Caravan

2010 Dodge Grand Caravan is minivan that have price range at $21,800. With boxy styling reminiscent more of the original model rather than the jellybean look of more-recent revisions, innovations such as Stow-N-Go fold-into-the-floor second-row seats, kid-friendly features like Swivel-N-Go seating and a rear-seat entertainment system, available in-vehicle wireless internet, and a relatively-low asking price (not to mention the copious sums of cash Chrysler puts on the hood), the Grand Caravan aims to maintain Dodge‘s slice of the shrinking but still important minivan market.

The front-wheel-drive 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan is equipped with one of three V6 engines. The base SE trim gets a 3.3-liter V6 good for 175 horsepower and 205 pound-feet of torque. A four-speed automatic is standard. Fuel economy for this engine — at 17 mpg city/24 mpg highway and 19 mpg combined. The SXT comes standard with a 3.8-liter V6 that produces 197 hp and 230 lb-ft of torque and gets 16 mpg city/23 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined. Optional on the SXT is a more modern 4.0-liter V6 rated at 251 hp and 259 lb-ft of torque, as well as a superior 17 mpg city/25 mpg highway and 20 mpg combined. Both SXT engines come with a six-speed automatic. The 4.0-liter Grand Caravan goes from zero to 60 mph in 8.8 seconds, which is quick for a minivan.

The 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan has strong safety scores and plenty of versatile passenger and cargo space. Its vast interior is widely praised, with an innovative seating arrangement and enough entertainment features, standard or optional, to keep the kids entertained on road trips. The Grand Caravan comes standard with antilock disc brakes, traction and stability control, active front headrests and full-length side curtain airbags. Optional on both the SE and SXT trims are second-row integrated child booster seats (requires Swivel ‘n Go). Optional on the SXT is the Security Group, which adds rear parking sensors, a blind-spot monitoring system and Rear Cross Path. The latter feature audibly warns drivers of cross traffic in both directions to help prevent a side-impact collision. A rearview camera is also available.
