Powertrain Options and Availability
Dodge buyers had a choice of four engines: a 150-horsepower 4-cylinder, or any of three V6 powerplants. A 3-speed automatic transmission went into Caravans with the 4-cylinder or the smallest V6, but others got 4-speed overdrive automatic. All-wheel drive became available for 1997, but only in upper Grand Caravan models. V6s gained horsepower in 2001.
