Which Dodge Grand Caravan Trim Level Is Right for You?

The Dodge Grand Caravan has been the best-selling minivan in the world for over 30 years and has also received the most awards of any minivan to date. The 2017 Grand Caravan, for example, recently received Kelley Blue Book’s “5-Year Cost to Own” award. Dodge is all about selection and finding the right vehicle for every driver, so there is a variety of trim levels available. It’s clear that the 2017 Grand Caravan is a smart choice, but which of the six trim levels is right for you?

American Value Package

As its name suggests, the AVP is the most affordable Grand Caravan in the 2017 lineup. With a starting MSRP of only $23,595, this is the pick for you if you’re looking to save money and still enjoy Dodge Grand Caravan quality. Despite its low price tag, you’ll still receive a host of awesome standard features that includes power locks, power windows, tinted windows, four-speaker audio, third-row 60/40 Stow n’ Go bench seats, dual sliding side doors, dual glove boxes, and lots more.

SE

The SE trim provides a good number of upgrades when compared to the base model, yet costs only a few thousand dollars more. Outside, it’s cosmetically enhanced thanks to its body-colored side moldings and door handles. Inside, you’ll enjoy improvements such as the six-speaker audio system, third-row tailgate seating, second-row bucket seats, sunscreen glass, three-zone temperature control, and easy-clean floor mats.

SE Plus

This trim adds a touch of luxury and class, easily seen by the presence of satin carbon aluminum wheels, premium black cloth seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a leather-wrapped shift knob, and piano-black instrument panel accents. Other perks include an auto-dimming rearview mirror, power second-row and third-row windows, and the Uconnect voice command infotainment system with Bluetooth wireless technology.

SXT

For those with large families or greater passenger transportation needs, check out the SXT. Convenience and accessibility are exponentially increased in this trim thanks to its power liftgate and dual power sliding doors. Luggage and other cargo challenges are well-handled by the exclusive Stow n’ Place roof rack system, standard on the SXT trim. Tech silver aluminum wheels let your family roll in style.

SXT Plus

Much like the SE Plus, extensive creature comforts are introduced here that include leather-trimmed seats, steering wheel-mounted controls, Bluetooth streaming audio, and a power eight-way driver’s seat with power two-way lumbar support. You get some upgraded street cred here as well thanks to the 17-inch polished wheels, bright belt door moldings, fog lamps, and automatic headlights.

R/T

The R/T is the top Grand Caravan, unlocking upgrades such as nine-speaker audio with a 506-watt amplifier and a subwoofer, a ParkView rearview camera, performance suspension, a power passenger seat, overhead storage bins, ambient interior lighting, illuminated storage and reading lamps, halogen quad headlamps, and exclusive wheels with gloss black pockets. For serious family road adventures, the R/T is hard to beat.

Whether you’re looking for a basic money-saving Grand Caravan, the ultimate luxury machine, or anything in between, there’s a Grand Caravan trim level that’s right for you.
