Chrysler has improved the safety of Town & Country minivan for 2006, by updating the side-curtain airbag system and reinforcing the roof and sides. There are no other significant changes.

In 2006, there are four T&C models available: Base, LX, Touring, and Limited.The Base model has an 113.3 inch wheelbase, while the other three models are longer, at 119.3 inches.

The Town & Country lineup covers a wide price range, with the Base and top shelf Limited separated by about $15,000. Chrysler presents the Town & Country as an upscale family vehicle, and even the base model comes equipped with standard features like a CD sound system, cruise control, keyless entry, air conditioning, and power windows and door locks.

On the LX, Touring and Limited, the second row bench is replaced two captains chairs, and Chrysler's "Stow 'N Go" flat folding seats are standard.

At the second trim tier, LX, Chrysler adds heated power mirrors to the list of standard features. The Base and LX are similar in price, while the Touring model jumps above the LX by nearly $7000.

This third level trim includes dual power-sliding doors, a six speaker audio system, three-zone climate control, a power seat for the driver, and a power liftgate. Jump by about $7000 again for the Limited trim, which includes tri-zone automatic climate control, a memory seat function for the driver, a premium Infinity sound system with an in-dash CD changer, a navigation system and chrome wheels.

The Base and LX models house a 3.3 liter V-6, which provides 170 horsepower. The Touring and Limited models get a larger 3.8 liter V-6, making 200 horsepower. Both engines are mated to a four speed automatic transmission.
