The most awarded minivan ever, the Dodge Grand Caravan, continues to lead the segment it created over 31 years ago 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 2016. 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, air conditioning with 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 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan continues to offer the SXT Premium Plus model, introduced in the 2015 model year. The 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT Premium Plus is based on the SXT model and features unique interior accents and special exterior design cues, including new exclusive 17-inch Granite Crystal finish aluminum wheels, body colour mirrors and lower bodyside sill appliqué, fog lamps, bright belt moulding and bright side roof rails. Interior features include Torino leatherette seats with suede inserts and silver accent stitching, Super Console, 10-way power driver’s seat including 2-way power lumbar adjust, power second- and third-row quarter vented windows, air conditioning with tri-zone temperature control and more. The SXT Premium Plus package is available for $2,095 over the SXT model.  

The 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan is available in six models that fit almost any lifestyle and budget: the Canada Value Package (CVP), SXT, SXT Premium Plus, Crew, Crew Plus and R/T, with innovative design and features inherent in every model. 

Unmatched versatility 
Standard on the SXT, SXT Premium Plus, 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 2016 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 the Grand Caravan, the Pentastar V6 delivers a best-in-class 283 hp, 260 lb.-ft. of torque and best-in-class 1,633 kg (3,600 lb.) towing (when properly equipped). 

Dodge Grand Caravan also features a driver-selectable fuel economizer mode. With the push of a button, the vehicle control systems change transmission shift schedule, idle speed, and engage an overall more conservative driving performance to maximize 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 (based on 2015 EnerGuide ratings).

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 2016 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 in the 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan. 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 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 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 advanced multistage front air bags, supplemental front seat-mounted side air bags, a driver’s knee blocker air bag, supplemental three-row side-curtain air bags, Electronic Stability Control with All-Speed Traction Control and Trailer Sway Damping, tire pressure monitoring warning lamp and remote keyless entry. The available Safety Sphere Package includes Park-Sense® Rear Park Assist system, ParkView® Rear Back-Up Camera, Blind-Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection and rain-sensing windshield wipers. Also available is hands-free communication with Bluetooth® streaming audio.

For 2016, the Park-Sense Rear Park Assist System is available on additional models including SXT. Also new for 2016, replacing the compact spare tire, Dodge Grand Caravan CVP, SXT, SXT Premium Plus, Crew and Crew Plus models now come equipped with a standard tire inflator kit, with optional compact spare. R/T models continue to offer a standard compact spare tire. 

For 2016, 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.
