The most awarded minivan ever, the Dodge Grand Caravan, continues to lead the segment it created for the 31st year in a row with exceptional technology and class-exclusive features. 

The Blacktop Package, an exclusive customized appearance package introduced in 2014, continues to be available on the Dodge Grand Caravan SXT models for 2015. The Blacktop Package includes 17-inch polished aluminum wheels with Gloss Black pockets, a Gloss Black grille, black headlamp bezels, an all-black interior, including headliner, door panels and console, unique black cloth seats and door trim panels with silver accent stitching, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with silver accent stitching, a leather-wrapped shift knob, tri-zone temperature control and Super Console. Models equipped with the Blacktop Package are available in Granite Crystal Metallic, Billet Metallic, Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl, Redline Pearl and Bright White.

The 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan is available in five models that fit almost any lifestyle and budget: the CVP, SXT, Crew, Crew Plus and R/T, with innovative design and features inherent in every model. 

Unmatched versatility 
Standard on the SXT, Crew, Crew Plus and R/T is the industry-exclusive Super Stow ’n Go® seating with easy one-touch operation. The second-row Stow ’n Go seats in the Dodge Grand Caravan can be effortlessly stowed in less than five seconds with just one hand. And when not stowed, only Dodge Grand Caravan allows secure storage in the second-row in-floor bins. Standard on all Grand Caravan models is the 60/40 split-folding third-row Stow ’n Go® seating with class-exclusive tailgate seating and up to 81 possible seating configurations. Only Grand Caravan can so effortlessly be transformed from hauling seven passengers to hauling cargo in a matter of seconds.

Award-winning engine 
At the heart of the 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan is the award-winning 3.6-litre Pentastar™ VVT V6 engine mated to a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission. This engine is a three-time winner of “Ward’s 10 Best Engines” in 2011, 2012 and 2013. In the Grand Caravan, the Pentastar V6 delivers a best-in-class 283 hp, 260 lb.-ft. of torque and best-in-class 1633 kg (3,600 lb.) towing. 

Dodge Grand Caravan also features a driver-selectable fuel economizer mode. Drivers can change the transmission shift schedule with the push of a button to maximize their fuel economy. Even with the potent V6 powertrain, Grand Caravan still manages to deliver an impressive fuel economy rating of 13.7 L/100 km (21 mpg) city and 9.4 L/100 km (30 mpg) on the highway* (*new 5-cycle rating shown, see last page for 2-cycle comparison).

Exterior details
Dodge Grand Caravan’s design is intended to convey the dynamic driving nature of the vehicle. A front fascia sports the Dodge signature “split crosshair” grille and quad headlamps, which combine to give the face of the 2015 Grand Caravan a sporty feel. A sculpted rear fascia and liftgate and rear LED tailamps complete the look from front to back.

Another innovation from the minivan leader is the Stow n’ Place™ roof rack system that lets owners stow the roof bows in the side rails when they’re not using them and snap them easily into place when needed. The ability to stow the roof bows when they’re not being used means less aerodynamic drag and wind buffeting and better overall efficiency. 

Premium interior 
Owners will step inside to a world-class interior. A modern, one-piece instrument panel is intuitive for the customer with instinctive ergonomics and large gauges, with premium bright accents and soft-touches throughout. An available Super Console provides clever functionality and storage for the active commuter, as well as easy driver/passenger access with a pass-through storage space for larger items. 

A three-spoke steering wheel with integrated controls for audio, navigation and speed control also offers a class-exclusive heated steering wheel option. The best storage in the segment rounds out the improved interior. 

Dodge Grand Caravan also offers available single DVD entertainment and industry-exclusive dual independent Blu-Ray™/DVD entertainment system with HDMI input for video game systems.

More than 55 available safety, security and technology features keep families 
safe and connected
Safety and security features include standard front seat-mounted side air bags, a driver’s knee blocker air bag, three-row side-curtain air bags, Electronic Stability Control with Brake Assist, tire pressure monitoring warning lamp and remote keyless entry. The available Safety Sphere Package of features includes Park-Sense® Rear Park Assist system, ParkView® Rear Backup Camera, Blind-spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection system, and rain-sensing windshield wipers. Also available is hands-free communication with Bluetooth® streaming audio.

For 2015, the Dodge Grand Caravan will be offered in eight colours: Billet Metallic, Granite Crystal Metallic, Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl, Redline Pearl, Bright White, Sandstone Pearl, Deep Cherry Red Crystal Pearl, and True Blue Pearl.
