America's best-selling minivan is built from the same design as Chrysler's Town & Country. Caravan is unchanged for 2007 and comes as a regular-length model or as the extended-length Grand Caravan. Both offer SE and SXT trim and have seven-passenger seating. The regular-length SE is available with a 150-hp 4-cyl engine or a 170-hp 3.3-liter V6. Regular-length SXT and Grand SE come with the 170-hp V6. Grand SXT has a 200-hp 3.8-liter V6. A 4-speed automatic is the only transmission. Traction control is standard on Grand SXT, unavailable otherwise. No antiskid system is offered. ABS is standard on Grands, optional on regular-length SXTs. A driver knee airbag is standard on all Caravans. Curtain side airbags that cover all three seating rows are optional. Standard on the Grand SXT is Dodge's Stow 'n Go 2nd- and 3rd-row seats that fold into floorwells. With the seats raised, the wells provide storage space.
