The Dodge Caravan's of the mid to late 1990's were reengineered with attention to detail. Seams were removed on the interior to give a more aesthetically pleasing look. A rear sliding door was added to the driver's side, (the first of its kind) along with better visibility, and a quiet car-like feel. The interior was maximized and the interior revamped, creating a brand new generation of Dodge Grand Caravan minivans.
The late 1990's saw the Grand Caravan grow in cargo space by an amazing 27 per cent in the short wheel based version and 25 per cent in the long wheeled models. What makes this even more impressive is that fact that the exterior stayed relatively the same size! Storage behind the rear seats in the Dodge Grand Caravan increased up to 40 per cent, plus if you were to remove the two rows of rear folding seats another increase of 20 per cent was made available. These Grand Caravans were engineered with every possible detail in mind and it really paid off! The seats were made flexible and remarkably easy to remove. All you have to do is reach in, grab the handles, push down unlocking the seats, and then simply roll them away on functional "roller-skate-like wheels".
Other features on the Dodge Grand Caravan include 12 separate cupholders, separate climate control for driver and passenger, adjustable shoulder belts and headrests for all outboard passengers, a revolutionary electric grid in the windshield base to prevent ice and snow build-up along with many, many more! One of the slickest details on the Dodge Grand Caravan is found on the rear sliding doors; these doors are equipped with hidden tracks found beneath the bottom edge of the rear side windows. These hidden tracks blend in beautifully with the exterior molding of the vehicle making them virtually unnoticeable! A "hold-open" latch is also inserted on the sliding rear doors to keep the propped open until released, allowing for safe loading of possessions and young children.
The Dodge Grand Caravan New York City car rental has also gone through a variety of engine changes. When the Grand Caravan first appeared on the minivan scene in 1987 the engine was a 2.5 liter K-family I4 that was capable of a meager 94 horsepower. By '91 the engine had grown to both the 3.0 liter Mitusbishi 6G72 V6 capable of 141 horsepower, and the 3.3 liter Chrysler V6 that was powerful enough to produce 150 horsepower. Later versions included a 3.6 liter V6, while all of these engines depended on a standard four speed automatic transmission.
Chrysler put a lot of thought into the remake of these vehicles, reengineering the steering and increasing the braking capacity. The Dodge Grand Caravan boasted above average maneuverability at both high and low speeds, plus the visibility was exemplified with a 30 per cent increase in glass area.
