Everything You Need To Know About The 2022 Chrysler Grand Caravan!

We recently discussed the changes to the Chrysler Voyager for the 2022 model year. Chrysler re-introduced the Voyager nameplate to the American market as the value-based minivan option, making the popular Pacifica a more upscale offering. Although the Voyager will be offered a fleet-only option for the 2022 model year, its Canadian counterpart will have a different story for the new model year.

The Chrysler Grand Caravan marks the second year that the nameplate will be heralded under the Chrysler banner in Canada. The well-equipped Chrysler Grand Caravan holds its own distinct position in the award-winning Chrysler minivan lineup, offering even more value for those who seek the quintessential family vehicle. For the 2022 model year, the Grand Caravan is about to get even better with more standard features than ever before.

So what exactly is new for the 2022 model year?
