- Reliability (3)Reliability is average for the segment. While the Pentastar V6 engine is generally robust, some owners report minor electrical issues or problems with power sliding doors over time. Regular maintenance is key.
- Maintenance (4)Maintenance costs are generally reasonable, with widely available parts and a straightforward design. Routine service items are not overly expensive, contributing to a lower cost of ownership.
- Technology (2)Technology is where the Grand Caravan shows its age. The infotainment system is functional but basic, lacking modern features like Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Safety tech is also minimal compared to rivals.
- Comfort (4)Comfort is a strong suit, particularly for passengers. The Stow 'n Go seating is incredibly versatile, and the seats themselves are generally comfortable for long trips. Road noise is present but not overly intrusive, and the ride quality is smooth over most surfaces.
- Dynamics (3)The 2018 Grand Caravan GT offers decent acceleration for a minivan, especially with the Pentastar V6, but handling is typical for its class – a bit ponderous with noticeable body roll in corners. It's built for highway cruising, not spirited driving.
