Chrysler minivans

Chrysler's family haulers feature a new look and more interior flexibility to go with a host of technology upgrades.

With a 38% market share currently, Chrysler has no plans to relinquish its leadership in the minivan segment as it introduces the new 2008 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan. With 35 new or improved features, including a segment-first six-speed transaxle mated to a new 4.0-L V6 engine, the automaker expects its “family rooms on wheels'’ to again change the shape of the minivan landscape-in some ways quite literally.

Designers of the new Town & Country and Grand Caravan attempted to break the ubiquitous “jellybean” design mold, replacing it with crisper shapes inspired by the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Magnum, explained Mark Trostle, Chief Designer, Interior/Exterior Design Studio.
