Dodge Grand Caravan
While no other minivan offers more value, the days of the venerable Grand Caravan are numbered as Chrysler is about to launch the Voyager—a newer and more affordable alternative to the award-winning Pacifica. It carries over for 2020 with just a few equipment changes to the SXT trim, like standard second-row Super Stow 'n Go seats with in-floor storage. The 283-horsepower, 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 engine under the hood is still mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
