2006 Dodge Grand Caravan front

The world's first minivan leapt back to the front last year, at least in terms of versatility. Stow-N-Go seating allows all rear seats to disappear into the floor, unlike just the third row on most others. Dodge has the only minivans that come in short and long versions (Caravan and Grand Caravan) to compete with Mazda MPV-sized vans and Honda Odyssey-sized vans all at once. The 180-horsepower 3.3 and 205-horsepower 3.8-liter pushrod V6s drive the front wheels; all-wheel-drive is gone. Avoid the 150-horsepower 4-cylinder if you love your family.
