SEPTEMBER 2011 Updated 9/19/11
Chrysler offers two minivan models: the Dodge Grand Caravan and the more upscale Chrysler Town & Country. Functionally just about identical, these corporate siblings go head to head with the 2012 Sienna. Now in its third model generation, Sienna sets a new class standard for passenger comfort while preserving the versatile cargo utility that makes minivans so accommodating. Plus, Sienna offers the only available four-cylinder engine and the only all-wheel drive system available among the top-four best-selling minivans.
This Edge compares Sienna and Grand Caravan, and showcases Sienna’s many strong points.

Dodge has several grades of Grand Caravan, including the sporty “Man Van” R/T. However, Dodge does not offer an available all-wheel drive system, nor a luxury grade, nor a mobility option. All in all, Sienna offers lots more ways for shoppers to find the perfect minivan.

Long Slide second-row seats
With 23 inches of fore-and-aft adjustability, Sienna’s second-row seats can slide far back to provide limo-like leg room. Grand Caravan’s second-row seats don’t offer the same generous maximum leg room.
Available removable center second-row seat
Grand Caravan’s second-row “Stow ‘n Go®” seats are small and comparatively uncomfortable. Sienna’s comfortable second-row seats are large and supportive. Plus, with its available removable center second-row seat, Sienna can accommodate up to eight passengers. Grand Caravan only seats a maximum of seven passengers.

Sienna advantagesA Closer Look
� Great for CarGo
No matter how you look at it, Sienna offers more cargo volume1 than Grand Caravan. Particularly useful is the additional 6.1 cubic feet Sienna offers behind the third row of seats. So when the seats are full of friends and family, the Sienna’s extra cargo space comes in handy.

Competitive pricing
The base MSRP doesn’t tell the whole story. Equip a Grand Caravan Mainstreet to the same level as a Sienna LE V6, and Dodge’s apparent price advantage all but disappears. In other words, step up to Toyota quality for about the same end list price. (MY2011 pricing shown)

Lower predicted ownership costs
According to IntelliChoice.com (August 2011)4, Sienna has a five-year predicted ownership cost more than $3,000 less than Grand Caravan. Cost of ownership includes depreciation, financing, insurance, fuel, state fees, car repair and maintenance costs. Maybe that’s why Sienna’s value rating is so much better than Grand Caravan’s.

Available all-wheel drive
Drivers in wet or snowy climates will especially appreciate the extra traction on tap with Sienna’s available all-wheel drive system on LE, XLE and Limited. Grand Caravan doesn’t offer all-wheel drive on any grade.
Sienna advantagesA Closer Look
IIHS Top Safety Pick
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named Sienna a “Top Safety Pick” for 20115. Sienna earned a “good” rating (IIHS’ highest) for frontal, side, rear, rollover and roof strength tests. Grand Caravan received the same scores, but wasn’t tested for rollover protection.
More standard connectivity, more entertainment
Sienna LE V6 has features that make it easy to connect a personal audio player to the vehicle’s audio system, or to operate a compatible mobile phone hands-free. And for another entertainment choice, an XM6 Radio receiver is standard and includes a 90-day trial subscription. Grand Caravan Mainstreet can’t match these standard Sienna technology features.
