Three sets of Latch connectors allow for multiple child car seats. Most passengers will find that all seats offer plenty of legroom and headroom.
The cargo area allows for a great deal of storage. The third and second row seats can be easily folded into the floor of the vehicle, allowing you to hold a ton of cargo. Behind the third row is up ton 31.1 cubic feet of space and behind the second row is 78.9 cubic feet. With all the seats folded down, you’ll get up to 140.3 cubic feet of cargo space.
Standard features with the Grand Caravan include a 6.5-inch touch screen, six-speaker audio, a rearview camera and tri-zone climate control so that everyone inside is comfortable. The vehicle’s infotainment system is incredibly easy to use and easy to learn.
