2006 Dodge Caravan / Grand Caravan

Minor changes were made on the 2006 Dodge Caravan / Grand Caravan with improvements being made to the exterior of the car, notably the revised front grille, new front fascia with redesigned fog-lights, new back seats as well as several cosmetic changes.

Engine options remained the same; a 2.4L I-4 150HP, 3.3L V-6 180HP and 3.8L V-6 215HP. An additional optional engine comes in the form of a 3.3L V-6 Flex Fuel, providing the opportunity to run alternative fuel sources such as E-85 Ethanol. Standard safety and security features are four-wheel disc anti-locking brakes as well as a full-size spare for emergencies.

A 2006 Dodge Caravan / Grand Caravan attains an EPA Estimated 13MPG in the city and 17MPG on the highway and has a maximum towing capacity of 8,650 pounds making it an excellent choice for around-the-town travels as well as hauling big loads.

2005 Dodge Caravan / Grand Caravan

The 2005 Dodge Caravan / Grand Caravan is the first year to see Stow ‘N’ Go Technology on the Grand Caravan. Stow ‘N’ Go allows you to fold the second and/or third row of seats to increase storage capacity.

For the American Market, the Caravan can be had in three engine flavors: a 2.4L Inline-4 producing 150HP, a 3.3L V-6 with 180HP and the powerful 3.8L V-6 with an astounding 215HP. The powertrain on the 2005 Dodge Caravan / Grand Caravan is a front-wheel drive accompanied by either the 3-speed automatic on the SE or the 4-speed automatic on other models, providing ease of use to drivers as well as being very economical on gas consumption.

Caravan drivers sit on either 113” wheel-base tires on regular models or 119” wheel-base tires on the high-end Grand Caravan models for extra grip.
