What's New
The 2020 Dodge Grand Caravan is back with only changes to the midrange SE Plus trim. It now gets standard second-row Stow 'n Go buckets seats, an eight-way power driver seat, and an in-floor storage bin. Otherwise, Dodge's minivan soldiers on unchanged.
Choosing Your Dodge Grand Caravan
The Grand Caravan is available in three trims: SE, SE Plus, and SXT. Pricing starts at $28,785 including destination for the SE and climbs to $34,285 for the SXT.
Engine Choices
All versions of the Dodge Grand Caravan are powered by a 3.6-liter V6 engine, generating 283 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Power is fed to the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission.
The set up is good for 17 miles per gallon city, 25 mpg highway, and 20 combined, according to the EPA.
Passenger and Cargo Capacity
The Grand Caravan comes standard with seating for seven passengers. The second-row Stow 'n Go bucket seats cost $1,395 on the base SE model.
There's 33.0 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row. Fold it away, and 83.3 cubic feet becomes available, or fold down both back rows to access 143.8 cubic feet of cargo capacity.
Safety Features
The federally-mandated rearview camera is the only standard active safety feature found on the Grand Caravan. This goes for all trims, which hurts its standing as a family vehicle. It’s also not possible to add optional safety features to any model.
The Grand Caravan carries a four-star overall safety rating with the NHTSA.
Connectivity
A 6.5-inch touchscreen is standard across the Grand Caravan Range, complete with a CD/DVD player and a 40GB internal hard drive. Music is distributed through six speakers.
SE Plus and SXT models add Bluetooth capability, satellite radio, and a USB port. These features are available for $795 on the base SE through the Uconnect Hands-Free Group ($795).
On all trims, a rear 9-inch DVD player is available alongside a 115-volt power outlet, another USB port, a remote control, and two sets of wireless headphones through the Single DVD Entertainment package ($995).
Entry-level Grand Caravan SE models ride on 17-inch steel wheels with black detailing and come with power and heated side mirrors. The cabin is accessed via remote keyless entry, offering cloth seating, three-zone air conditioning, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.
Notable upgrades on SE Plus models include a remote start, automatic headlights, fog lights, an alarm, and 17-inch aluminum wheels. The cabin is improved with upgraded cloth seating, an eight-way power driver seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and the second-row Stow 'n Go bucket seats.
The $795 Blacktop Package improves the Grand Caravan’s appearance with black wheels and a matching grille, headlight bezels, roof rails, and interior accents.
Power-sliding doors and a power liftgate provide easier access to premium SXT models, where you’ll also find standard roof rails. The seats are now trimmed with leather and feature suede inserts.
Compare Grand Caravan Trims Side-By-Side
The 2020 Dodge Grand Caravan range offers budget motoring for seven people, but the SE trim still seems spartan. The SE Plus’s greater practicality and comfort make it the pick of the lineup.
