2008 dodge grand caravan review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Redesigned for 2008, more safety, economy, utility. introductionthe 2008 dodge grand caravan is all new. It's a necessary redesign for dodge, to remain the leader of the minivan pack. It's a couple inches longer and 18 pounds lighter. There's more headroom but it's no taller. Aerodynamics are better and it's quieter inside. The redesigned rear suspension delivers a good ride. Electronic stability control is now standard. Making the time pass quickly. All the sheetmetal is new, as is the front fascia, rear fascia, and taillamps. The grand caravan looks more like a dodge truck, now, in the nose at least. The interior adds overhead storage and pinpoint led lighting. options for the se include the g package 1750) with cruise control, tinted side glass, rear climate control, and a bigger alternator. The h package 3740 ) includes everything in the g package, plus yes essentials fabric, second-row power windows and third-row power vented windows, 60/40 third-row bench, trip computer, heated mirrors, remote starting and adjustable pedals. There's also a power and remote entry group 1995), including power sliding doors on both sides, power liftgate, eight-way power driver's seat, and driver's lumbar manual support. The m package 3785) includes hands-free phone, rear climate controls, second- and third-row window shades, cabin air filter, automatic headlamps, backup camera, backup beeper, and 17-inch aluminum wheels. the n package 7290) starts out with the 4. 0-liter single-overhead-cam v6 engine. Most of the rest of it is about deluxe entertainment. Mygig, dvd screens for both the second and third rows, wireless headsets and remote control, sirius radio, and an infinity sound system with nine amplified speakers and subwoofer. The second-row seats swivel to face the third-row 60/40 bench seat, with an easily stowable table between them. Side-impact airbags are not available. A description of the overall shape of the 2008 dodge grand caravan wouldn't sound too much different from a description of the 1982 model. People don't buy minivans so others will look and say, 'that's the new minivan. Some styling!' so the styling of the redesigned 2008 grand caravan doesn't represent a sea change. But it is clearly different. It looks fresh, as the old styling is ubiquitous. All the sheetmetal is new, as is the front fascia, rear fascia, and taillamps. it's more aerodynamic, although it seems boxier because of the nose, which now looks more like it's in the dodge family. It's attractive in a suv-ish kind of way. The hood is less sloped than before, and it bears character lines. Sixteen-inch wheels are standard, an increase over the previous 15s. They're boring looking, but the optional five-spoke 17s are better. the wheelbase of the new grand caravan is 1. 9 inches longer, and the overall length stretched 2. 5 inches, so the overhangs are about the same. The front track has been widened by 2. 5 inches, and the rear by 0. 8 inches, without widening the vehicle at its sides. However the roof has been widened by 6 inches, allowing more overall interior room. Interestingly, the front track is now wider than the rear, a reversal from the previous generation. interiordodge grand caravan leads the minivan field when it comes to interior convenience, capability and versatility. The dvd was a snap to play, unlike, for example, those in some expensive audis. The screen drops down from the ceiling, so the driver loses some visibility in the rearview mirror. Or they flop forward with one lever. For a fairly simple invention, it's a masterpiece. In just a minute or so, and without having to refer to the manual, we dropped the second and third seats flat into the floor. Picked up a long leather couch at the used furniture store. From soccer bus to cargo van, in 60 seconds. We don't need no dodge sprinter van. Well, maybe if we want to load the whole team of 10 kids. Other information includes distance to empty (about 400 miles on a tank of gas), compass, outside temp.
