Safety: 2005 Dodge Grand CaravanSafetyIn addition to having an admirably crashworthy structure, the Caravan and Grand Caravan boast standard multi-stage front airbags and a driver's-side inflatable knee-blocker. Full-length side-curtain airbags are available. All outboard passengers get three-point seatbelts, and front-seat occupants get seatbelt pretensioners. An anti-lock braking system is standard equipment on all Grand Caravan models, but is still an extra-cost option on the Caravan SXT--and not available at all on the four-cylinder Caravan SE (all the more reason to avoid it). All models feature an alert that notifies the driver when the sliding side doors (either manual or optional power-operated) are in motion. Electronic stability control is starkly absent from the list of options.
