TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2020 Dodge Grand Caravan may appeal to drivers who want a new van at a low price,but its sticker and its utility are overshadowed by low safety scores.

The 2020 Honda Odyssey has nearly everything we like in a family vehicle, minus the ground-up Cheetos in the back.

TCC Likes

A big boxy van for less
Strong V-6 power
Stow-away rear seats

Spacious interior
Comfortable seats everywhere
Plenty of cargo space

TCC Dislikes

Subpar safety scores
No active safety tech
Dated interior

Base vans skip the good stuff
Conservative compared to others
Pricey top trims
