Canadian Pricing Announced For 2025 Chrysler Grand Caravan
Touted As Canada's "Value Van" Is It Actually A Good Value?
The 2025 Chrysler Grand Caravan returns to the Canadian minivan market, offering a family-friendly ride starting at $49,995 CAD ($47,700 MSRP, plus destination). This made-in-Canada minivan adds another versatile option to Chrysler’s 40-year legacy of leading the minivan segment, blending practicality, comfort, and safety in a way that speaks directly to the needs of Canadian families.
Made in Windsor, Tailored for Canada
Proudly manufactured in Windsor, Ontario, the 2025 Grand Caravan strengthens Chrysler’s lineup by offering a budget-conscious entry point, while the luxurious 2025 Chrysler Pacifica Pinnacle holds the premium end. Whether you need the value-driven features of the Grand Caravan or the plush appointments of the Pacifica, there’s a Chrysler minivan for every family. And let’s not forget the 2025 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid, the only plug-in hybrid minivan eligible for a $5,000 federal zero-emission vehicle (iZEV) credit and even more savings through provincial incentives.
Why Choose the Grand Caravan?
“The 2025 Chrysler Grand Caravan offers customers a well-equipped, budget-conscious minivan and reinforces our brand’s commitment to delivering choices in the segment Stellantis created more than 40 years ago and continues to lead,”
-Chris Feuell, CEO of the Chrysler brand.
With a host of new comfort, technology, and safety features as standard, the 2025 Grand Caravan aims to deliver a smooth ride for those who want more bang for their buck.
Tech and Comfort, All Standard
For 2025, the Grand Caravan steps up its game with new standard features designed to make every drive easier and more enjoyable. Highlights include:
- 10.1-inch Uconnect 5 Touchscreen: Supports Amazon Alexa, connects two phones simultaneously with Bluetooth, and more.
- 7-inch Digital Cluster Display: Keep an eye on key vehicle info easily.
- Super Console: Offers covered storage and easy access for second-row passengers.
- Stow’ n Go Seating: An industry-exclusive, allowing you to fold second and third-row seats into the floor for a flat load space.
- Black Caprice Leatherette Seats: Accented with stylish Light Diesel stitching.
- Driver Seat Memory: No more fidgeting with seat settings after someone else takes the wheel.
Safety Comes First
Chrysler knows families are seeking more than comfort—they want peace of mind. The 2025 Grand Caravan is packed with over 100 standard and available safety features, including:
- Blind-spot monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection
- Rear Park Assist: Makes backing up a breeze.
- Adaptive Cruise Control: This keeps you at a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
- 10-Year Safety & Security Trial: With automatic SOS calls, theft alarm alerts, and stolen vehicle assistance.
Powerful Performance Meets Everyday Practicality
Under the hood, the 2025 Grand Caravan packs a punch with its 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine, delivering 287 horsepower and 262 lb.-ft. of torque. It’s paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission that helps this minivan maintain its reputation for a refined driving experience. Plus, with standard features like active noise cancellation and a six-speaker audio system, every trip is quiet and enjoyable.
On the outside, the Grand Caravan sports a distinctive look that sets it apart from the current Pacifica. It features classic styling elements, 17-inch aluminum wheels, automatic headlamps, and fog lamps. It’s available in three standout colors: Red Hot, Bright White, and Diamond Black.
How Does The Grand Caravan Compare?
While $50k for a base model minivan initially seems expensive, comparing Grand Caravan’s pricing to its competitors puts things into perspective.
| Base MSRP With Destination | Engine/Transmission | Drive | |
| Kia Carnival | $43,530 | V6 – 8-speed auto (Hybrid Avail) | FWD |
| Chrysler Grand Caravan | $49,995 | V6 – 9-speed auto | FWD |
| Toyota Sienna | $50,715 | 4 cyl – CVT – HYBRID | FWD (AWD Avail) |
| Honda Odyssey | $52,056 | V6 – 10-speed auto | FWD |
| Chrysler Pacifica | $54,995 | V6 – 9-speed auto | FWD (AWD Avail) |
While the Kia Carnival LX undercuts the Grand Caravan by $6,465, the base Carnival features cloth seating and a manually adjustable driver’s seat. To get leatherette seating, a memory driver’s seat, and a tri-zone auto climate control system, you must step up to the SX trim at $54,930, although that does include features over and above what the Grand Caravan offers.
Toyota’s Sienna follows a similar strategy: You must step up to the XLE trim, which costs $53,305, to get features similar to those standard on the Grand Caravan.
The same is true at Honda. You need to step up to the Honda Odyssey Sport-L trim, which costs $55,056, to get leatherette seating and a memory driver’s seat, which are standard on the Grand Caravan.
Families with young children typically really appreciate leather or leatherette seating due to its ease of cleaning and stain resistance compared to cloth, so I focused on it in this comparison.
Another crucial area for families is passenger and cargo space. Here is how the Grand Caravan stacks up:
