Dodge offers six versions of its minivans for the 2001 model year. Grand Caravan models add a useful six inches of length between the wheels. Caravans come with the standard wheelbase.
Caravan SE starts at just $19,160, and with a limited option range the price can't stray too far above that mark. It comes standard with a 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine, and hand-crank windows. But also standard are air conditioning, variable intermittent wipers, and an AM/FM stereo cassette audio system. Base price for the Grand Caravan SE is $21,785.
Sport models are next on the features ladder, available in either standard or extended wheelbase. All Sport models come with a standard Flex-Fuel 3.3-liter V6 engine. The Sport gets fancier seats with upgraded cloth and standard rear defroster, anti-lock brakes, power door locks, speed control and other features. The Caravan Sport retails for $23,525, while the Grand Caravan Sport lists for $24,275.
Snowbelt residents will appreciate the traction action of the Grand Caravan Sport AWD. Base price: $29,695.
Grand Caravan ES is the top-of-the-line Dodge minivan, offered only in an extended wheelbase version, but with a choice of front-wheel or all-wheel drive. ES adds an overhead trip computer, the option of leather and heated seats, the option of 17-inch wheels (fwd only), and an optional Auto-Stick transmission. Base price for the Grand Caravan ES is $29,110; for the Grand Caravan ES AWD, $32,235.
Also available is the Grand Caravan EX, which is positioned between the Sport and the ES. EX comes with the popular features found on the ES added, but with only one option available. It comes at a special price of $26,070.
