2014 Dodge Grand Caravan Celebrates 30 Years in the Segment

STETTLER, Alberta, Sept. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- This year the Chrysler Group celebrates 30 years in the minivan segment. Their minivan journey began with the Dodge Caravan, which has set the standards for other vehicles in its class since its release in 1983. Known for its superior comfort and family-friendliness, the Dodge Caravan has had a large following since its release, and in 2008 the Chrysler Group rightfully renamed the popular minivan the Dodge Grand Caravan. The legacy continues with the 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan which is expected to be released before the end of the year.

Consumers are sure to find that the highlight of the seven-passenger minivan is the storage. The second row features Stow 'n Go seats which now collapse into the floor with the pull of a single lever. The back seats fold backwards for multiple purposes. They provide tailgate seating, or can collapse into the back cargo well which helps to provide a substantial 33 cubic feet of storage when the backseat is upright. Thats double the average rear cargo space of a sedan. With all seats tucked into the floor, the 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan opens up a vast 143.8 cubic feet for storage. When not in use, the cargo wells in the back and in front of the second row double as storage containers allowing the floor to remain vacant.

The 2014 Grand Caravan is also picture-perfect for consumers looking for a safe minivan. The numerous airbags include side curtain airbags which stretch the entire length of the vehicle, ensuring that even the passengers in back are protected in a collision. Many other vehicles in the segment only provide the front and second row with side curtain airbags. The extension in the Grand Caravan helped to give the minivan five stars for side impacts in government crash tests. Stability control and antilock brakes come standard in all trims, but the higher-end models also have options including blind-spot monitoring, rear parking and cross-traffic sensors and a rearview camera.

When consumers are on the hunt for superior storage and safety, they often turn to a minivan. While other manufacturers offer both characteristics, thirty years of minivan innovation can only be found in the 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan.
