Grand Caravan Nameplate Returns To Canadian Showrooms:

The Chrysler Voyager enters the 2021 model year with a more important role than ever before, as the direct replacement for the beloved but aged Dodge Grand Caravan. Chrysler re-introduced the Voyager nameplate to the U.S. market last year, as the entry-level variant of the Chrysler Pacifica. The 2020 Chrysler Voyager featured a cheaper starting price than the Grand Caravan and proved that it could be a suitable replacement for the popular nameplate.

In the Canadian marketplace, the Grand Caravan nameplate has proven year after year to be one of the best-selling vehicles in the nation. So it wasn’t a huge surprise when Chrysler ditched the Voyager nameplate in favor of the Grand Caravan nameplate as its entry-level van for the 2021 model year. 

As an identical clone to the American 2021 Chrysler Voyager, the 2021 Chrysler Grand Caravan offers two trim-levels to the public. However, instead of dumping the trim-level names for Chrysler Pacifica themed trim-level names like “L” and “LX”, the 2021 Chrysler Grand Caravan carries over its Dodge-based trim-level names of SE and SXT.

Grand Caravan SE

Under the hood of the Grand Caravan is the award-winning 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 delivering 287 horsepower and 262 lb.-ft. of torque and mated to a 9-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission. Unlike the more luxury-oriented Chrysler Pacifica, the Chrysler Grand Caravan will be only offered in front-wheel-drive.

The entry-level Chrysler Grand Caravan SE has a starting Canadian Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $37,995. The more equipped SXT model will have an MSRP of $39,995.
