2026 Chrysler Grand Caravan Returns To Deliver Family Value In Canada

Affordable, Spacious, and Loaded with Standard Features

Chrysler is reinforcing its leadership in the segment it invented more than four decades ago with the return of the 2026 Chrysler Grand Caravan. This Canada-exclusive model offers affordability, practicality, and impressive standard features for families nationwide. While the pricing of three-row SUVs continues to escalate, Chrysler is stepping up to remind buyers that a well-equipped minivan still delivers the best value in family transportation. With a starting price of $49,895 including destination charges, the Grand Caravan is positioned to be one of the most attainable family vehicles in the country—without feeling stripped down or basic.

Designed specifically with Canadian households in mind, the Grand Caravan delivers what families actually need: roomy seating, giant cargo capacity, excellent visibility, and advanced technology. By sticking to what works and adding features people genuinely use, Chrysler has created a compelling alternative to pricier crossovers that often compromise both interior space and convenience.

Built Proudly In Canada –

The 2026 Grand Caravan is assembled at the Windsor Assembly Plant in Ontario—home to Chrysler’s minivan production for generations. With more than 40 years of experience building family-minded vehicles, Windsor remains one of the most important manufacturing facilities in Stellantis’ North American operations. By keeping production local, Chrysler not only supports Canadian jobs but also ensures the vehicle is engineered with the country’s unique needs in mind—harsh winters, long-distance travel, and a strong culture of family-focused mobility.

Proven Power: Pentastar V6 + TorqueFlite 9-Speed –

Under the hood, the Grand Caravan doesn’t experiment with complicated drivetrains. Instead, it uses Chrysler’s award-winning 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, producing 287 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. It’s paired to the brand’s segment-exclusive TorqueFlite nine-speed automatic transmission, a driveline designed to deliver smooth shifts, reduced fuel consumption, and plenty of power for climbing steep grades or passing transport trucks on the highway.

The Pentastar has earned a reputation across Stellantis brands for durability and low maintenance costs—two qualities that matter greatly to families who plan to keep their vehicle for the long haul. Whether you’re hauling hockey equipment, towing a small utility trailer, or loading in camping gear for a summer getaway, the Grand Caravan has the muscle to handle it confidently.

A Long List Of Standard Convenience Features –

Value doesn’t mean compromise. In fact, Chrysler loaded the Grand Caravan with equipment that would traditionally cost extra. Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are standard—huge wins for Canadian winters. Power sliding side doors and a power liftgate add extra convenience when juggling armloads of groceries, strollers, or sports bags. There’s also remote start, leather-faced seating, an all-black interior with tasteful Light Diesel stitching, three-zone automatic climate control, and a cleverly designed super console with storage accessible from the second row.

Chrysler clearly aimed to eliminate the “base model” feeling entirely. For 2026, there is only one trim—the well-equipped SXT—which keeps ordering simple and ensures customers are getting a great deal regardless of configuration.

Tech That Modern Families Expect –

The heart of the interior experience is the Uconnect 5 multimedia system with a 10.1-inch touchscreen. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto™ come standard, along with Bluetooth connectivity for two devices at once—perfect for families juggling multiple smartphones. Over-the-air updates mean the software can improve over time, and built-in Amazon Alexa compatibility allows for voice-activated convenience on the go.

A 7-inch digital driver information display brings clarity to essential driving data, helping reduce distractions while keeping controls intuitive. With six standard audio speakers and multiple USB ports, everyone can stay connected and entertained no matter where the road leads.

Safety You Can Count On –

With more than 100 standard and available safety and security features, Chrysler delivers peace of mind as standard equipment. The Grand Caravan includes Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) for stress-free highway drives, plus Blind-Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection—a significant benefit given the size of a three-row vehicle. Lane Departure Warning and Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking help prevent the unexpected, while ParkSense Rear Park Assist with Stop provides confidence in tight parking lots.

Seven airbags, Electronic Stability Control, Tire Pressure Monitoring, and the ParkView rear backup camera round out a robust suite of family-focused protections. Chrysler has always designed its minivans with real-world use in mind, and that continues unchanged.

The Stow ’n Go® Advantage: Space That Works Hard –

One of the biggest distinctions separating Chrysler’s minivans from every competitor is its clever Stow ’n Go seating system. The Grand Caravan includes standard second-row Stow ’n Go bucket seats with in-floor storage bins, as well as a third-row Stow ’n Go bench. The seats fold flush into the floor in seconds—no storing heavy seats in the garage or fighting with awkward folding mechanisms.

With all seats stowed, families unlock up to 3,978 liters (140 cubic feet) of cargo capacity—more than most full-size SUVs. Whether it’s home-improvement drywall sheets or that once-a-year oversized Christmas tree, the Grand Caravan is designed to handle life’s big and small moments with ease.

Easy Ordering, Smart Options –

Chrysler purposely minimized complexity for 2026. With the SXT as the only trim, customers focus on personalization through simple add-ons such as an inflatable spare tire kit, an interior protection package, Mopar splash guards, and an engine block heater for colder regions. Every Grand Caravan rides on 17-inch aluminum wheels and Yokohama all-season tires, helping keep costs aligned with the vehicle’s value mission.

The Minivan Legacy Continues –

As Chrysler celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2025 and prepares to launch refreshed and future models, the brand remains committed to the minivan category that built its reputation. The Chrysler Pacifica and Pacifica Hybrid carry the innovation torch, while the Grand Caravan keeps minivan ownership accessible to Canadians who want practicality without financial strain.

The 2026 Chrysler Grand Caravan brings logic back to family buying decisions. It offers more space than a crossover, more convenience than a large SUV, and more value than both. Built in Canada, tailored for Canada, and engineered for families who deserve transportation that makes sense—this minivan is proof that smart doesn’t have to be expensive.
