Get the Best Priced Dodge Caravan Parts

Manufactured by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and marketed by its Dodge division, the Dodge Caravan is a minivan. It is currently in its fifth generation although it hit the roads more than thirty years back in 1984. It was introduced with a short wheelbase but 1987 saw the long wheelbase variant, also called the Grand Caravan, launched. Deemed to be a pioneering minivan, the Dodge Caravan was also sold under different other names like the Plymouth Voyager, the Chrysler Voyager, the Chrysler Town & Country, the Chrysler Grand Voyager and the Lancia Voyager.

The first generation was introduced as the Caravan and the Plymouth Voyager. The long wheelbase edition, from 1987, offered more boot space and came in three different trim levels - base, SE and LE. While the base vans could seat 5 passengers with a three-person bench seat in the second row, the LE could accommodate seven passengers in three rows. The second row was a two-person bench seat and the third or back row could seat three people. However, this bench seat could also be attached in the second row, thanks to an independent set of attachment points.

In the initial three years of production, two types of engines were made available with the Caravan - the base 2.2 L from Chrysler, which could produce 72 kW and the 2.6 L from Mitsubishi, capable of generating 78 kW. The first generation Dodge Caravan upgraded its engine over time and eventually came equipped with a V6 110 kW engine in 1990. The second generation hit the roads in 1991 and became the first minivan to offer an airbag on driver's side as well as all-wheel drive. In 1994 it also came with dual front airbags. A special 10th anniversary model was also sold for a year in 1994 in select colors with a gold fender badge. When the second generation was stopped in 1995, it had a 3.8 L engine cranking up 121 kW.

By 1996, Chrysler offered the third generation of the Chrysler Dodge Caravan. It was launched in both short and long wheelbases with three and four-door configurations. The base model could hit the roads with a 2.4 L four cylinder or a 3.0 L V6 engine from Mitsubishi. Years 2000 through 2007 saw the production of the fourth generation Dodge Caravan as a four-door minivan. While the 3.3 L V6 engine was a standard across all models in Canada, Philippines was privy to the 2.8 L CRD diesel engine. A 3.0 L Mitsubishi 6G72 V6 engine was offered in China too.
