Chrysler Group invented the modern minivan in 1983 with the Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager. The first luxury minivan, the Chrysler Town & Country, debuted in Windsor, Ontario in 1989. Seventy-five minivan-first innovations and 13 million minivan sales later, the company still leads the way with the best, most innovative vehicle to move people and things. 

The latest round of firsts include a heated steering wheel, Stow ‘n Place™ Roof Rack System that allows roof bows to be stored in the rails when not in use, an integrated Super Centre Console for first- and second-row passengers, a fuel economizer mode that helps the driver maximize fuel efficiency, and the industry exclusive second row Super Stow ‘n Go seating.
