2002 Dodge Caravan Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
To continue competing with Honda and Toyota's minivans, the 2002 Dodge Caravan adds some new trims and a few more optional interior luxuries.
In addition to its standard SE and Sport trims, the new eC is unveiled as the best-value Caravan money-wise. In the Grand Caravan division, an eX and eL are added to the SE, Sport, and ES trims, offering many comparable features to the Odyssey and Sienna, but with a less expensive price tag.
Minivans contine to add all sorts of storage and comfort configurations to accommodate all types of passengers. New features of the 2002 Caravan include a rear seat audio system, and a dealer-installed DVD system. Top of the line Grand Caravans offer power liftgate, removable center console, and traction control. Side airbags are now optional. While not having the flat-folding seats of the Hondas, the third-row seats in the Caravan do split 50/50. Cruise control and audio controls are located on the steering wheel. The exterior body has a sleeker look, with a highly angled windshield and large head and taillights.
The main attraction of the Dodge Caravan is a solid powerful ride that handles large loads of people and/or cargo well(particularly with the 3.8 V6) and an interior size that beats the competition.

I like the room this car has. I don't like the problems with the tranny and assosiated with the tranny. But still a pretty reliable vehicle for my family. I would reccomend this to families that are willing to take the time to keep their car maintained. Or are able to fork out big bucks for repairs.Oct 19, 2012

This is a good all around family vehicle. My family took a trip to San Antonio from the DFW area, and I was very pleased with our comfort, and the kids loved the dvd and tv in the back seat.Aug 30, 2011

Nice styling: interior and exterior, perfect colouring, a lot of room inside the car, a good gas mileage, smooth driving. It is worth of recommendation to any family or to anyone who wants to have a big car. In my model I don't have a CD, so that's a bit of the problem...but I can live with this!:)Nov 21, 2008

We bought the van in 2005 it had very few miles on it and now we have loaded the miles. We drive it to Phoenix everyother year. I wish it had the stoe and go seats. I get better gas mileage then my husband in his chevy s-10 I love taking it on the road trips cause there is room for every one. I have only had minor repairs made to it like new breaks. I keep up on oil changes and I just now need to charge the a/c. Other then that we got what we paid for and I still like to drive it.Jul 01, 2008

The van can not be beat for hauling your babies in and out of the vehicle. Once they are out of car seats, ditch it forever.Jun 09, 2008

My caravan has 110,000 miles on it and still works well. Some things are slowly starting to show age but overall still a reliable vehicle. Apr 07, 2008
What users have asked
Car won't start
I tried to start the car, it was similar to a dead battery (tried to jump just in case) but dash dials spun, wipers moved (front and back), and there was a clickng from either the fuse box or just below it. This happend once previously but the car started after sitting for a while. This time however, this hasn't fixed the problem.

Why does my 2002 Dodge Caravan have poor gas/kms per tank?
After the 1st 1/4 tank, i only seem too get about 50kms per 1/4 tank. But the 1st 1/4 I get 98km. Can someone tell me if this accurate or not. There are no codes stating there is an issue. But the pump and filter are 20yrs old apparently.
