2020 Dodge Grand Caravan Review

Pros

Less expensive than other minivans
Second-row Stow 'n Go seats fold right into the floor

ConsWhat's new

If you're shopping for a 2020 Dodge Grand Caravan, stop. Instead, we suggest you cross it off of your list and instead take a look at the 2020 Chrysler Voyager, which is a much better minivan. Alternatively, consider getting a certified-used example of any competing model. Yes, the Dodge Grand Caravan is that uncompetitive.

In advance of its planned discontinuation after the 2020 model year, some dealers are still stocking this ancient minivan, which hasn't seen a complete redesign since 2008. We say some dealers because the 2020 Grand Caravan no longer meets tailpipe regulations in the 11 states that have adopted the more stringent emissions requirements set by the state of California.

Making matters worse, the Grand Caravan earns some poor Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crash test scores and lacks the modern advanced driving assistance systems that are pretty much standard on other minivans. You can't get forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, or lane-keeping assist systems on this minivan, for instance.

Other technology that's missing in action includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and connected services such as automatic collision notification, SOS emergency calling, and safe teen-driver settings.

There are a couple minor draws here, such as a low starting price and the second-row Stow 'n Go seats that collapse into storage wells in the floor to make for an easy transition from people hauler to cargo hauler. But that's not a good enough reason to actually buy one. If you're on a tight budget, the Chrysler Voyager and Kia Sedona are much better minivans, and if you can spend more, strongly consider the Chrysler Pacifica and Honda Odyssey.

Which Grand Caravan does Edmunds recommend?

Edmunds does not recommend buying a Dodge Grand Caravan. You would be better served by a 2020 Chrysler Voyager, which has a lower base price, more standard technology, and much better crash test ratings. But if your heart is set on a 2020 Grand Caravan, upgrade to the SE Plus trim, which adds key features such as Bluetooth hands-free calling capability plus the Stow 'n Go second-row seats that are among this minivan's few worthy traits.

Dodge Grand Caravan models

The budget-friendly seven-passenger Dodge Grand Caravan is sold in three trim levels: SE, SE Plus and SXT. All Grand Caravans have a 3.6-liter V6 (283 horsepower, 260 lb-ft of torque) paired to a six-speed automatic transmission.

The base SE comes standard with 17-inch steel wheels, heated side mirrors, triple-zone manual climate control with rear air conditioning, a backup camera, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a second-row bench seat, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a 6.5-inch touchscreen and a six-speaker audio system.

The SE is available with the Uconnect Hands-Free Group package, which adds a leather-wrapped steering wheel, satellite radio, a USB port and Bluetooth connectivity. Second-row Stow 'n Go captain's chairs that fold into the floor are an optional upgrade.

The SE Plus comes with the above equipment (including Stow 'n Go) as standard, plus 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, foglights, remote engine start, a power-adjustable driver's seat, a front floor console and upgraded upholstery. A Blacktop package installs black 17-inch alloy wheels, a black grille, and black interior trim for a sportier look.

The Grand Caravan SXT adds features such as chrome exterior trim, roof rails, power-sliding rear doors, a power liftgate, a larger floor console, and leather upholstery with suede inserts. It is offered with the Blacktop package and the considerably more feature-rich Driver Convenience Group package. This upgrade adds triple-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a rear overhead console, an overhead storage bin, ambient lighting and second-row sunshades.

Optional on all trims is a rear entertainment system that comes with a 9-inch roof-mounted screen, a DVD player, a 115-volt power outlet, a charge-only USB port, and two sets of wireless headphones. With the SE Plus and SXT trims, this option also upgrades the Grand Caravan with navigation.

5/5 stars, Super value

Paul O’Connor, 01/09/2021

SXT 4dr Minivan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

With leather seats it is truly luxurious and meets all needs very well. 7 passengers, huge cargo area. All power everything. Drives high, super visability, plenty of power, rides great. Good mpg.

3/5 stars, Mediocre

Dk, 06/01/2021

SXT 4dr Minivan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

At around 2000km my minivan's transmission hard shifted for some reason. I find if i have to accellerate quickly to change lanes or get away from a sketchy situation, the transmission doesnt respond all that well sometimes. The econ feature is rarely useful unless youre in a perfect situation with light traffic, no slowing down, just constant speed and relatively flat terrain. Its more

1/5 stars, Rough riding basic van

Hoghead, 08/23/2020

GT Fleet 4dr Minivan (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

We have these at work to haul crews. They are the roughest riding vehicle. No rear suspension to speak of. You feel every little bump. My 3/4 truck rides smoother than these vans.

5/5 stars, Excellent van for price and luxury

Dan Middlebrooks, 12/11/2020

my van is customized as an ADA wheelchair van and we are extremely happy with our purchase

2017 Dodge Grand Caravan Expert Rundown Review

JOSH SADLIER: This is Edmunds editor Josh Sadlier, and here's an expert rundown of the 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan. We had to check our sources on this one, because with the debut of the new Chrysler Pacifica minivan, we figured the Grand Caravan was toast. But here it is alive and kicking for 2017, same Grand Caravan we've come to know and respect, if not necessarily love, over the years for its many practical virtues. Corporate 3.6 liter pentastar V6 sits under the hood. Six speed automatic is an outdated transmission relative to the eight and nine speed units being used in more recent price of products, but you get plenty of practicality with the Grand Caravan, as you might expect. Every minivan's got a lot of versatility, but the Grand Caravan excels in this area. It's got a ton of cargo space inside and innovative storage solutions. Step inside the grand caravan and you'll see more of that versatility. There the stow and go second row seats that dodge is justly renowned for, plenty of space in the third row for kids or even adults. That's what makes these minivans great. Again, if you're looking for versatility on some kind of a budget, the Grand Caravan continues to be a great option. In terms of features, the Grand Caravan does lag behind. You can see that touchscreens a 6.5 inch unit, instead of the 8.4 inch unit you get in the Pacifica. We're not stoked about the materials either. In terms of quality, you're taking a step down, relative to other vehicles in the class. The bottom line with the Grand Caravan is that this is a value play. If you're looking for a lot of space, and you don't want to spend a lot of money, it's an easy decision. But if you want more features or luxury for what you're spending, best to look elsewhere.

Compare Dodge Grand Caravan & Chrysler Pacifica features

Dodge Grand Caravan vs. Honda Odyssey

Currently Edmunds' top-ranked minivan, the Honda Odyssey is a far better choice for a new minivan than a Dodge Grand Caravan. It doesn't have the Dodge's slick Stow 'n Go second-row seats, which are an admittedly handy feature for people who need maximum cargo capacity on a regular basis. Otherwise, there simply is no comparison between these two vehicles.

Compare Dodge Grand Caravan & Honda Odyssey features

Dodge Grand Caravan vs. Kia Sedona

If you're on a tight budget, consider the Kia Sedona. It comes with plenty of features for the money as well as Kia's excellent warranty and roadside assistance coverage. Beyond that, it's stylish (for a minivan) and has Slide-n-Stow second-row seats that are almost as useful as the Dodge's Stow 'n Go seats.

Should I lease or buy a 2020 Dodge Grand Caravan?

Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
