Dodge Grand Caravan 2010 Overview
The Dodge Grand Caravan is all about transporting people comfortably,
efficiently and safely, while keeping them entertained. Its designers focused on
interior creature comforts, such as the popular Stow 'n Go seating system. Stow
'n Go consists of bins in the floor behind the first row of seats, and folding
second-row seats that can be folded into those bins, resulting in a flat load
floor for easily carrying larger objects. Or, when the seats are up in the
normal seating position, the bins can accommodate toys, games, sporting gear,
tools or whatever.

2010 Grand Caravan Exterior Design
A minivan shape does not lend itself to artistic sculpture. A description of
the overall shape of this current generation of the Dodge Grand Caravan wouldn't
sound too much different from a description of the 1982 model. There is a big
box behind, where all the people and cargo fit, and a smaller box in front, for
the engine. That very efficient outline defines every minivan on the road.
The Dodge Grand Caravan is boxy, but it's attractive in an SUV kind of way.
The hood is less fairly flat, and it bears character lines. The grille is very
upright, making the Dodge crosshair grille look like that of a Dodge truck,
especially in chrome. Sixteen-inch wheels are standard. We think the available
five-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels look better.
Dodge now offers only the long-wheelbase Grand Caravan, as the short
wheelbase Caravan was dropped a couple of years ago.
Size comparisons with other minivans are relatively unimportant, because all of
them are within an inch or two of each other in both wheelbase and overall
length. The Grand Caravan is a big vehicle, with a 202.5-inch overall length and
a 121.2-inch wheelbase.
2010 Dodge Grand Caravan Conclusions
The Dodge Grand Caravan offers unmatched versatility. The 3.3-liter V6 with
175 horsepower is fine, while the optional 3.8-liter and 4.0-liter engines make
more power with roughly equivalent or even better fuel mileage. The ride is
smooth, but handling is decidedly in the minivan level of expectations. It's
inside where the Grand Caravan leaps high hurdles. Flexible seating, lots of
storage space, good lighting, and impressive entertainment options can upgrade
your lifestyle, at least while underway. If you are looking for more
information, specs and photos visit Dodge.com.
In terms of versatility, the Stow 'n Go seats that disappear into the floor for
carrying cargo are hard to beat.
