2014 Dodge Grand Caravan Hits the Mark for Families

Since Dodge invented the minivan segment in 1984, it has managed to remain on top of the genre in the US, despite having a few up and coming rivals over the years. The current generation Grand Caravan was treated to a thorough redesign in 2011, and these updates still retain their appeal in 2014. Modern cabin technology, combined with fuel-efficiency and class-leading power in the engine, helps this minivan complete the checklist for families looking for a vehicle which fits their lifestyles.

Safety First
The Grand Caravan includes a number of standard safety features, including stability control, antilock disc brakes, active front head restraints, driver knee airbag, front seat side airbags, and full-length side curtain airbags. Optional safety extras include a blind-spot monitoring system, rear parking and cross-traffic sensors, and a rearview camera.

Power and Performance
A 3.6 liter V6 engine that produces 283 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque comes standard in every 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan. Also included is the six-speed automatic transmission. The estimated 17 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway gives the Grand Caravan an economical advantage at the pump.

Interior Fit
Every Grand Caravan except the AVP trim level features Stow 'n Go second-row seats. The AVP model makes them available as an option. Instead of requiring removal of the second-rwo seating for maximum cargo capacity, a simple lever pull flips the seats toward the floow. The third-row seats can fold backward into a deep cargo well. Behind the third row is a generous 33 cubic feet of storage space, so stowing the second and third row of seats opens up 143.8 cubic feet of total space for cargo.

With many standard and optional features available, as well as four trim levels, the 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan might be the car your family is looking for. Bring your family by your local Riverside Dodge dealer to see the Grand Caravan for yourself.
