2008 Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan
Chrysler is touting its 2008 Chrysler Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans as "family rooms on wheels" by the automaker, and predictably the most innovative features are saved for the inside. Both vehicles, which share the same platform, feature Chrysler's new Swivel 'n Go seating option. The second row seats can now rotate 180 degrees to face the third row, yet still fold flat when extra storage space is required. A removable table can also be installed between the rows and an integrated child booster seat in the second-row quad chair and a one-touch power-folding third-row 60/40 bench seat are available options. Powering the all-new minivans will be a choice of three V-6s: a 240 horsepower, 4.0-liter version, a 3.8-liter, or a 3.3-liter E85 capable version. The E85 engine receives a four-speed transaxle while the larger displacement engines are given six-speed gearboxes.
