2020 Dodge Grand Caravan Review

2020 Dodge Grand Caravan Overview

The 2020 Dodge Grand Caravan receives minor changes for 2020.

Last year’s special-edition trims are now gone, leaving just the SE, SE Plus, and SXT grades. The SE starts things off with keyless access, sunscreen glass, climate control for all 3 rows, third-row Stow ‘n' Go seating, a 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and heated mirrors. The SE Plus trim tacks on voice commands, Bluetooth, second-row bucket seats with Stow ‘n Go seating, an 8-way power driver’s seat, and remote start. Finally, the SXT comes with 17-inch polished wheels, leather-and-suede seats, power sliding doors, a power liftgate, a Stow ‘n Place roof rack, and second-row window shades.

SE Plus and SXT trims offer a Blacktop Package, which includes 17-inch gloss black wheels, a gloss-black grille, black headlight bezels, an all-black interior, and premium black cloth seats and door trim panels. The SXT trim also offers a Driver Convenience group, bundling heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and navigation.

As before, the only engine on the Grand Caravan is a 3.6-liter V6, making 283 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. A 6-speed automatic transmission routes that power to the front wheels. The Grand Caravan delivers an estimated 17 mpg city, 25 highway, and 20 combined.

The only safety feature of note on the Grand Caravan is a standard reversing camera. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gave it poor marks for small front-overlap and headlight safety in 2019.

The Dodge Grand Caravan is easily the least expensive minivan on the market, which might make you overlook some of its shortcomings.
