2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Urban Style
As expected, there remained a model of
Dodge, who will not be upgraded, which is quite in the order of things, given that the U.S. company wants to recover their lost market positions. After Journey, Charger, Durango and Avenger,
Dodge now from our show and redesigned MPV model
Grand Caravan, which has received new exterior grille, front bumper, hood over the engine, headlights and
LED rear lights. As with other models of the brand, the
Dodge engineers have put a lot of efforts to modernize the interior of the
Grand Caravan. He has a new center console, dashboard and seats that are larger and more comfortable than its predecessor. Moreover, the quality of materials is significantly better.

In terms of engines from
Dodge have decided the current 3.3, 3.8 and 4.0-liter to be replaced by only one unit, which we know already 3,6 V6 Pentastar, with power 283k.s., it is combined with six automatic transmission. Modernization has suffered and the suspension of the
Dodge Grand Caravan, as ground clearance is reduced by 12 mm. The presence of low resistance tires and economical driving mode, which transforms the work of the gearbox does help to a very tolerable fuel.
2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN
The
2011 Dodge Grand Caravan gets major updates with freshened styling, a renovated interior, and – most significant -- the advanced “Pentastar” 3.6-liter V-6 engine. The
2011 Grand Caravan retains the basic understructure it’s used since model-year 2008, but the revisions are
Dodge’s answer to more sweeping changes to the
2011 Honda Odyssey and
2011 Toyota Sienna, both of which are new, next-generation designs. The shares its structural design and powertrain with the more upscale 2011 Chrysler Town & Country, which is similarly updated. As part of their model-year
2011 revamp, both lose an option that set them apart from other minivans: Chrysler’s Swivel ’n Go seating in which the second-row buckets turned to face the third-row bench, with a table in between. Turns out buyers liked the feature, but tended not to make much use of it.
2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Interior
The
2011 Dodge Grand Caravan’s styling changes aren’t drastic but they do contribute some visual flair to what remains a rather boxy vehicle. The most noticeable modifications are to the front end, which is capped by a more prominent
Dodge crosshairs grille over a sportier-looking lower fascia and below a modestly redesigned hood. A revised bumper, new vertical-stack
LED taillamps, and prominent
Dodge nomenclature highlight cosmetic alterations at the rear. The minivan also rides about a half-inch closer to the pavement, which
Dodge says helps fuel economy by improving aerodynamics. The
2011 Dodge Grand Caravan’s interior gets major improvements. The instrument panel, dashboard, and steering wheel are new, and upgraded materials throughout the cabin contribute to a richer look and feel. A newly optional “super” center console provides generous storage space with ambient blue-green lighting to make finding objects within easier to find at night. Previous interiors suffered lackluster design compounded by a proliferation of price-conscious unpadded panels and surfaces. Marketed as a “family room on wheels,” the
Grand-Caravan’s cabin was indeed a room ripe for redecorating.
