2011 Dodge Grand Caravan vs. Its Competition

2011 Dodge Grand Caravan
Bengt Halvorson Bengt Halvorson Senior Editor

With several of the Dodge Grand Caravan's main rivals completely redesigned for 2011, Chrysler is barely keeping up in a class where it used to be the clear leader.

The Honda Odyssey has been completely redesigned for 2011, with a new seating layout that allows adult-size comfort in back, along with a new class-leading wide-screen entertainment system; it's also class-leading for fuel economy.

Also, the 2011 Toyota Sienna is all-new and while it feels heavier and more ponderous than the model it replaces it's so refined that it might as well have a Lexus badge.

For value, there's the Kia Sedona, which is due to be replaced but could be quite a bargain.

Also, Nissan's Quest will be all-new as a late entry for 2011, while the 2011 Ford Flex remains a wild-card alternative.

With MINI-esque styling and a seven-passenger interior, it would be called a minivan if it didn't have hinged doors.

Quick Specs
7.8
The 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan is a high-functioning box on wheels—with the old penalty-box trim neatly excised, and a new powertrain spliced into place.
9.2
A singular look, along with top-shelf turbo power and features, earns the 2011 Ford Flex our top score among utility vehicles.
8.6
The 2011 Honda Odyssey remains the best-handling of the minivans, with some of the most innovative seating configurations and entertainment features, but it's also the priciest.
7.4
7.4
The minivan buyer prizes space, flexibility and efficiency—and the 2011 Nissan Quest has taken steps back on all those fronts.
8.0
The 2011 Toyota Sienna adds room and adult-duty second-row seats, but leaves ultimate flexibility and entertainment to the competition.
