The 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan has a 3.6-liter V6 engine with a 283 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Known as the Pentastar, it’s a commendable engine, which delivers smooth power and a pretty good fuel economy. The engine has a 6-speed automatic transmission which has smooth shift action. Finally, the V6 is E85-compatible so that it can operate on blends of ethanol and gasoline. The Grand Caravan is a front-wheel drive, just like its rivals except for the Toyota Sienna, which offers an all-wheel-drive.
Transmission
The ride quality and handling are harmless. The Grand Caravan feels relaxed when cruising and poised through corners. Well-weighted steering also gives the driver a sense of engagement as well. The brake pedal feels firm, its 180-foot stopping distance from 70 mph puts the vehicle in the middle of the pack.

Safety Features and Warranty
From the parking lot to the driveway, Dodge got your back. The Parkview Rear Back-Up Camera shifts into reverse, and it also offers a wide-angle view with on-screen gridlines of the area on the Uconnect Touchscreen. The all-speed traction control monitors for wheel slip. If wheel spin happens while driving, it will apply brake pressure to the slipping wheel(s), reducing the engine power to help maintain traction and vehicle stability.Ā Ā
The Dodge Grand Caravan has a lot of safety and security features to help protect the driver and their passengers. The foundation for the steel safety frame’s construction is built with high-strength steel, which contributes to the overall vehicle-impact performance.
The active front-seat head restraints move if the vehicle is in an accident to lessen the space and impact between the headrest and head to help reduce the risk of neck, head, or spine injuries. Seven advanced airbags come standards, such as driver-side knee blocker airbag, supplemental front, rear side-curtain airbags, and front seat-mounted side airbags. The Crumple Zone helps absorb the impact energy, and it redirects it away from the passengers to reduce the risk of injury.Ā
