The 2014 Dodge Caravan is the continuation of the minivan that originally trail blazed through the auto industry in the 1980s. This year's version of the iconic minivan vehicle seats up to 8 passengers and has a slew of internal luxuries that will keep them all comfortable, entertained and safe.
Interior Space
Anyone in the market for a minivan will place a high value on finding a vehicle with ample space. Aside from seating over half a dozen people, the Caravan is quite spacious, making it the perfect choice for any family or even a business owner. The Caravan's seats can fold flat onto the floor to create extra room. There are also "in floor" style storage containers at the seat bottoms to store extra materials. The third row seat, tailgate and slide doors have power fold options as well, empowering drivers to carry a nearly unparalleled amount of cargo.
Safety
Most buyers of minivans have safety at the top of their wish lists. They typically have family members or valuable gear inside that they want to protect. The Caravan is one of the safest vehicles on America's roads. The Insurance Institute For Highway Safety (IIHS) has awarded the minivan with its "Top Safety Pick" title. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration grades the Caravan at four stars overall. Specifically, it earned four stars for rollover resistance and frontal impact protection. It earned five stars for side impact protection. Safeguards include traction and stability control, curtain airbags, blind spot monitors, Bluetooth connectivity for emergencies, a rear view camera and more. There are even power sliding doors that bounce back before closing if they determine that an object is in the way.
2014 Dodge Caravan - Power, Performance And Handling
The Caravan has a very powerful Pentastar engine. It is a 6-cylinder, 283 horsepower beast with 3.6 liters. This represents an improvement of 86 horsepower compared to the 6-cylinder engine of last year. The Caravan attains what is considered to be a solid fuel economy for a minivan of its size. In urban spaces it averages 17 miles per gallon. On highways it averages 25 miles per gallon. There is a six-speed manual transmission and front wheel drive. The Caravan especially thrives in the low to mid range power categories. Yet even when the Caravan hits high speeds, it is still well controlled, balanced and quiet.
Caravan Features
This year's Caravan is loaded with amenities. Available niceties include satellite radio, Bluetooth connectivity, navigation, an on-board data service through Uconnect web, a media hard drive and USB charging ports. There is also an optional "super console" that can be moved around the vehicle. It provides significant extra space in between passenger seats to store just about anything from loose change to dishes. Other options include Stow 'N Place roof rails, a power driver's seat, power lift gate, a Blu-Ray DVD entertainment system with a HDMI input, two USB gaming/recharging ports and a 115 volt outlet.
