The 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan, a budget-friendly minivan, comes in four trims (SE, SE Plus, SXT, and GT), all powered by a 3.6-liter V6 engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission, offering a comfortable ride and ample cargo space.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Under the Grand Caravan's stubby hood is a 3.6-liter V-6 engine churning out 283 hp. It has a lively feel, yet the Grand Caravan returned a slower zero-to-60-mph time than its competitors. The six-speed automatic transmission, although never abrupt, is hesitant to downshift for extra passing power. The Grand Caravan blends acceptable cornering capability with a comfortable ride. The suspension soaks up most highway bumps just fine, while larger ones do cause some jolts to shudder through the cabin, and harsher impacts disturbed a few loose trim pieces in our test vehicle, resulting in some rattles.
