The fifth generation of the Dodge Caravan was released at the 2007 North American International Motor Show and it was available only in the long-wheelbase version.
MPVs were one of Chrysler's specialties and proved once again with the introduction of the 2008 model Dodge Grand Caravan. After four generations when it was built in two lengths, the car-manufacturer has decided to do it in only one size to fits all. For some markets, it was available with a European diesel engine.
From the outside, one of the biggest improvements was done for the headlights, which were taller than before. The styling stepped away from the SUV-like shape of other manufacturers and adopted a more docile MPV-look, with a squared bodywork and rounded wheel arches.
Inside, the Grand Caravan was equipped with three rows of seats. The middle row could have been folded down and stowed into the floor. The third row was removable and with all these out of the way the MPV was quickly transformed into an LCV. For the second and third-row there was an option for DVD players mounted on the ceiling, with individual programs running on the screens and headphones.
The fifth-generation lost the AWD option from its predecessor and was available only as a front-wheel-drive. Apart from the 3.3-liter V6 unit which was mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission, all the other four engine options were mated to a 6-speed auto.
