Strong, sturdy, durable -- words many owners use to describe their Dodge Caravans. Now up to four million sold, Chrysler celebrated its 10th year of the minivan with an anniversary edition of its Dodge Caravan SE models, marked by a two-tone exterior.
The 1994 Dodge Caravan packed more power as well. In addition to the standard 2.2-liter four-cylinder (100 hp), optional 3.0-liter (142 hp) and 3.3-liter (162 hp) V6 engines, Chrysler added an optional 3.8-liter V6 that shared a 162-hp rating, but was torqier than the 3.3-liter and coupled with its infamous Ultradrive. Antilock brakes were standard on all but the base models, and AWD was optional on loaded SE or higher trim levels on both the Grand Caravan and the regular Caravan.
Other new perks included dual front airbags, keyless entry, reclining seats, side impact protection, and reshaped molding and bumpers. The dashboard saw a minor redesign due to the inclusion of the airbags.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1994 Dodge Caravan appreciate its spaciousness and reliability, mentioning that it's fun to drive and handles surprisingly well for a minivan. However, many express concerns about transmission issues and some quirks that come with older models."
It's a bright red 3.3L V6 powered van with a very nice gray cloth interior. Excellent performance and gas mileage, gets lots of looks. Is surprisinly fun to drive and handles very well. Very reliable, only replaced the battery and brakes. 167k

June 8, 2008This has been/and is a solid car. Body has stayed in excellent shape, in spite of Ohio winters and salt on roads. Everything under the hood is easily accessible. Putting seats in and out (yes it's the old style) is a pain in the neck. It's a bit scarry having almost everything with still original parts at near 200k. Originally used this daily for everything. At 150k I thought about trading, but decided for 32k, I'd rather have a Mustang convertable- so I bought the pony and kept the minivan for light duty work.
February 24, 20121994 Dodge Caravan. 3.0L V6 MMC (Mitsubishi Motor Company). Over 167K miles when the trans went out for the 3rd time. Front wheel drive. K&N cold air intake, thrush glass pack cherry red muffler, (sounded like a cessna single engine plane - kinda felt like one too). Hankook tires with whitewalls. GREEN headlight bulbs (they looked kinda yellow lit up, but put green light on whatevers in front of you.) Custom 3rd brake light, 35% tint on the front 2 doors, 5% everywhere else. Custom interior. Kenwood cd player and rockford fosgate speakers.
April 6, 2008it had really good space, but the engine needs work
May 15, 2008It has four wheels and goes vroom. It really isn't much of a gas guzzler I get roughly 20 mpg. The only real complaint I have is the transmissions on this model suck. I've had to put 2 diffrent transmissions in my van. I can't say much I paid 3000 almost 9 years ago and have put over a 100,000 miles on this van with just minimal repairs.
