Dodge has just given us some images and details on the new 2011 Grand Caravan. For some time, the Grand Caravan has been less than grand, but Dodge hopes that this newest version will change that and put them in front of Honda and Toyota in the minivan game.
The van will pack Dodge?s new Pentastar V6, as well as a revised suspension that Dodge hopes will make the van more pleasing to drive. We haven?t been told what was changed, but the press release says that ?virtually everything? was updated.
The motor is the 3.6-liter V6 and that will be connected to a six-speed automatic. That motor will replace all three of the previous motors. The V6 puts out 283 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, the same numbers as the new Avenger.
While we aren?t sure if a V6 only van will sell well, we are sure that buyers will love the new interior with top-notch materials, better seats, and redesigned gauges. The outside of the Grand Caravan will get some LED taillights and a new front fascia.
We’ll have to wait and see how the van compares with the new offerings from Honda and Toyota, which have been stellar.
Hit the jump to see the press release.
