2012 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN PERFORMANCE AND HANDLING
With a powerful 283 hp and 3.6L V6 engine across all trims, the 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan is one of the most fun and fastest minivans to drive on the market. But don't let that intimidate you; the Grand Caravan is still the solid time-honored choice of large families and soccer moms who need inly unlimited versatility, in part because of its excellent fuel mileage at 25 hwy mpg. A stiff chassis and solid body equipped with sound-deadening materials deliver a surprisingly quiet and pleasant ride for such a heavy vehicle. "The new 6-speed automatic shifts seamlessly and, unlike in some other minivans we've tested, resists the urge to hunt around for the perfect gear," reports Kelley Blue Book. |

2012 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR
While critics say the 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan's exterior is on the conservative side, that shouldn't be a problem for most consumers. One cutting-edge aspect of the Grand Caravan's design is the Stow 'n Place roof-rack rails that can be hidden when not in use, improving aerodynamics and fuel efficiency for everyday travel. The long side doors on the 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan can be power-operated, as can the liftgate, providing the level of functionality expected in today's minivans. Wheels start at 16 inches, with 17-inch Satin Carbon aluminum wheels standard on only the top trim.
Inside, the 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan can comfortably seat up to seven people, with black leather available on the top R/T trim. The most unique aspect of Caravan seating goes to the third row seats, which can swivel 180 degrees to offer a "tailgate" perch accessible from the trunk. The Stow 'n Go second and third row also receive accolades from critics, providing ample storage room in the form of deep floor wells when the seats are upright. When the seats are nestled into the wells - a simple, quick change - the minivan opens up to accommodate plenty of cargo. The 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan comes in five trims, from the base American Value Package; the SE, which adds air conditioning and sunscreen glass; the SXT, which includes a convenience package; the Crew, which adds a security package, rear back-up camera with touch screen and information display, and leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob; to the luxurious R/T with performance-tuned suspension and all-black interior. Each trim has additional add-ons, such as an upgraded media center beginning at the SXT and an engine block heater for all models. With the 2012 Dodge Caravan, customization is practically endless. |

2012 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SAFETY FEATURES
The 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan ranked highly in many safety tests - it scored four out of five stars for overall safety in tests performed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named it a Top Safety Pick. Dodge brags about the Grand Caravan's electronic stability control with electronic brake assist and traction control system that discourages over- or understeering. An antilock brake system is standard, as are seven air bags that include side-curtain airbags to protect passengers despite seating arrangement. Dual radar sensors provide blind-spot monitoring, an ultimately useful feature for minivans with more blind spots than standard sedan-sized vehicles. |
