TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan may boast a storied nameplate, but this minivan is way behind the times.

The 2018 Toyota Sienna separates itself further from the pack with standard active safety features (great), available all-wheel drive (good), and a new face (uh).

TCC Likes

Lots of van for the money
Strong V-6 engine
Versatile Stow‘n'Go seats

Roomy interior
Practical features
Great standard safety equipment

TCC Dislikes

Safety scores are not good
Priced on par with rivals once optioned up
Rough ride quality

Why you so mad?
No hybrid
All-wheel drive isn't very useful
