How Does the Grand Caravan Compare to the Competition?
The Chrysler Town & Country is a popular competitor costing only about $500 more. Interior materials are more luxurious on the Town & Country, but the Grand Caravan has lower ownership costs. We recommend the Town & Country since it offers more for the money.
The Toyota Sienna is another rival costing about $3,000 more. Reliability ratings are better on the Sienna, but the Grand Caravan has more cargo space. We recommend going with a Sienna since they last longer and are more technologically advanced.
