Last Word: 2005 Dodge Grand CaravanWhat's HotBrilliant available Stow 'N Go seating
Quiet, composed demeanor on the road
Aggressive pricing, excellent warranty
What's NotFit and finish trail import brands'
Anemic inline-four; uninspiring V-6s
Utterly unexciting, even among minivans
What's NewThoroughly revised for the 2005 model year, the Caravan and Grand Caravan enter 2006 with no substantial alterations.
Key OptionsDepending on model and trim level, Caravan and Grand Caravan buyers can opt for such creature comforts as an eight-way power driver's seat, power-adjustable pedals, subscription-based Sirius satellite radio, and the innovative UConnect hands-free communication system, which features wireless integration with Bluetooth-enabled cell phones. A rear-seat DVD entertainment system with a seven-inch fold-down display also is available. And one particularly worthwhile option on the Grand Caravan SXT is the excellent DVD-based GPS navigation system, which uses a small but easy-to-read full-color display on the radio faceplate.
Final WordThe Caravan and Grand Caravan continue to hone the minivan formula they created over two decades ago, offering comfortable, safe family transport with innovations to enhance the journey and adapt to daily transportation needs.
