Red Dodge Grand Caravan 2011
With the Pentastar engine, the new Grand Caravan delivers best-in-class horsepower (283 hp compared with 197 hp in the previous 3.8-liter V-6 engine) and more torque (260 lb.-ft. versus 230 lb.-ft.) without sacrificing fuel economy.
The 2011 Grand Caravan also features a new driver-selectable fuel economizer mode. Drivers can change the transaxle shift schedule with the flip of a switch to maximize their fuel economy. In addition, a 12 mm lower ride height, new premium, lower-rolling resistance tires, a new spoiler and reduced brake caliper and rear bearing drag all contribute to Dodge Grand Caravan's class-leading aerodynamics and excellent fuel economy.
DRIVER'S ATTITUDE DRIVES DESIGN
Dodge has also redesigned the 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan to match its new attitude about driving. A new front fascia that sports the new Dodge signature "split crosshair" grille, a new hood and quad headlamps all combine to give the face of the 2011 Grand Caravan a more aggressive feel. A new, more sculpted rear fascia and liftgate, new rear "ring of fire" LED taillamps and new Dodge badge complete the look from front to back.
Also new for 2011 is the latest innovation from the minivan leader: the Stow 'n Place™ roof rack system that lets owners stow the roof bows in the side rails when they're not using them and snap them easily into place when needed. The ability to stow the roof bows when they're not being used means less aerodynamic drag and wind buffeting and better overall efficiency.
Owners will step inside to an all-new world-class interior for 2011. A modern, new one-piece instrument panel is more intuitive for the customer with improved ergonomics and larger, redesigned gauges. An available new "super" center console provides clever functionality and storage for the active commuter, as well as easy driver/passenger access with a pass-through storage space for larger items, like a purse. Trim rings in the console glow an ambient blue-green color, allowing passengers to find the items they are looking for at night.
The 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan also features more comfortable, larger Stow 'n Go® seats with a new, easy to use one-touch fold-down function. New, premium seating materials and new door trim are soft to the touch. A new Dodge brand steering wheel with integrated controls for audio, navigation and speed control also offers a minivan-first heated steering wheel option. The best storage in the segment rounds out the improved interior.

Dodge Grand Caravan Interior
Dodge has officially revealed the 2011 Grand Caravan and the interior looks great. Chrysler is really stepping up their game. It will be interesting to see an all new car developed with Fiat on the team.
Dodge’s onslaught of updates continues. This time around, it’s the Dodge Grand Caravan that gets the makeover. For 2011, America’s most popular minivan gets slight exterior modifications, including LED lights in the back, that give it a bolder, more modern look. But the biggest changes are on the inside and under the hood.
Just like most of the 2011 Avenger, Journey and Caliber, the 2011 Grand Caravan now has a new, higher-quality interior that features abundant soft-touch material, a one-piece instrument panel and a three-spoke steering wheel. A new center console provides added functionality and storage plus more comfortable and larger Stow ‘n Go seats with a new, easier to use one-touch fold down function.
Under the hood, the Caravan gets the new Pentastar 3.6L V6 with 283-hp and a revised suspension. The 3.6L V6 replaces all three of the previous V6 engines available on the 2010 model. More details on the 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan can be found in the press release below.
