2026 Chrysler Grand Caravan

Assembled just down the highway at Windsor Assembly Plant and offered exclusively to Canadian buyers, the Chrysler Grand Caravan packages family-focused practicality with an equipment roster that challenges higher-priced alternatives. The 3.6-litre Pentastar V-6 generates 287 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission suited for Guelph's daily routes, Highway 401 commutes toward Toronto or Kitchener-Waterloo, and weekend getaways to cottage country or the Bruce Peninsula. Seven passengers sit across three rows, with Stow 'n Go technology allowing the second and third rows to fold completely into floor compartments when cargo requirements take over. Standard features span leather-faced seats, heated front seats and steering wheel, power sliding doors, the Uconnect 5 system with a 10.1-inch display, wireless smartphone integration, and a robust driver assistance suite. Priced under $50,000, the Grand Caravan continues Chrysler's 40-year minivan tradition built for Canadian families.

Your Guide to the 2026 Chrysler Grand Caravan

Exterior Design

Up front, a black grille bordered by bright trim anchors the fascia, sitting beneath quad halogen reflector headlamps that activate automatically as ambient light fades. Body-colour door handles complement the profile, while gloss black power mirrors integrate heating elements to manage frost and condensation during Ontario's colder months. Power sliding doors on both sides ease passenger entry, a practical feature when navigating tight parking spaces at Stone Road Mall or along Guelph's historic downtown streets.

Overall length measures 5,176 mm on a 3,089 mm wheelbase, dimensions that yield generous interior accommodation without unwieldy proportions. Width spans 2,022 mm at the body and 2,297 mm including mirrors, with height reaching 1,777 mm. Standard 17-inch cast-aluminum wheels mount 235/65R17 all-season tires ready for the range of weather southwestern Ontario delivers. The power liftgate reveals a cargo hold with 617 mm liftover height, simplifying the loading of hockey equipment, market purchases, or university move-in supplies. Ground clearance sits at 131 mm, and a drag coefficient of 0.300 supports efficient highway travel.

Interior Space and Comfort

The cabin presents an all-black theme featuring leatherette Black Caprice seating surfaces with Light Diesel stitching accents. The driver benefits from an eight-way power seat with four-way lumbar support, while heated front seats counter cold mornings throughout the extended Ontario winter. A techno leather-wrapped steering wheel offers heating and places audio and cruise controls within easy thumb reach. Storage abounds: a super console with covered compartments extends accessibility to second-row occupants, joined by a floor tray, locking glove box, and lower instrument panel cubby.

Seating capacity reaches seven across a 2/2/3 configuration. Second-row Stow 'n Go bucket seats conceal in-floor storage bins, providing hidden space for valuables or items you want kept out of view. The third-row Stow 'n Go bench folds into the floor with the second row, expanding cargo volume to 3,978.5 litres behind the front seats when both rows are stowed. With all seats upright, 914.6 litres remain behind the third row. First-row legroom measures 1,045 mm with 1,020 mm of headroom; second-row passengers enjoy 992 mm of legroom and 1,006 mm of headroom. Three-zone automatic climate control allows each zone to set preferred temperatures, while a high-efficiency cabin air filter maintains interior air quality.

Powertrain

The 3.6-litre Pentastar V-6 serves as the exclusive powerplant, delivering 287 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 262 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm from its 60-degree dual overhead cam architecture. Variable-valve timing across intake and exhaust cams maximizes efficiency throughout the operating range, while engine stop-start technology pauses the engine at red lights to reduce fuel consumption. The TorqueFlite nine-speed automatic transmission manages ratios spanning 4.70:1 in first gear to 0.48:1 in ninth, complemented by a 3.25 final drive ratio. Fuel economy figures reach 12.4 L/100 km in city driving, 8.4 L/100 km on highways, and 10.6 L/100 km combined. A 71.9-litre fuel tank supports travel across the province without frequent refuelling.

Front-wheel drive routes power through a touring-tuned suspension designed for comfort. The front uses independent MacPherson struts paired with coil-over gas-charged shock absorbers and a stabilizer bar attached to a hydroformed steel perimeter cradle. At the rear, an independent twist-blade configuration combines coil springs with twin-tube shock absorbers featuring integrated rebound springs. Electric rack and pinion steering delivers a 16.2:1 ratio, achieving a 12.1-metre curb-to-curb turning circle for parking lot navigation. Four-wheel disc brakes with antilock control provide stopping confidence, supported by electronic stability control and traction control that assist on wet or icy pavement.

Technology

Uconnect 5 forms the technology centre through its 10.1-inch touchscreen interface. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto project smartphone content without requiring cable connections, while dual phone Bluetooth pairing accommodates two devices at once. Amazon Alexa voice capability accepts spoken commands, and integrated voice command with voice text reply facilitates hands-free messaging. The 7-inch digital instrument cluster keeps speed, fuel data, and alerts in the driver's sightline, with steering wheel-mounted buttons enabling quick audio adjustments. SiriusXM Radio extends entertainment options, output through a six-speaker sound system with auxiliary and USB connectivity.

Safety technologies maintain continuous awareness of the surroundings. Adaptive cruise control adjusts speed to preserve selected following distances, Blind-spot Monitoring identifies vehicles in adjacent lanes, and Rear Cross Path detection watches for traffic approaching while reversing. Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking scans for people ahead and can apply brakes if collision risk rises. ParkSense rear park assist with stop delivers audible and visual guidance during parking manoeuvres, and the ParkView rear backup camera displays the area behind the vehicle. Seven airbags provide protection: advanced multistage front units, inflatable knee blockers for driver and front passenger, front seat-mounted side airbags, and side-curtain coverage spanning all three rows.

Available Trim Levels and Configurations

The 2026 Chrysler Grand Caravan adopts a single-model approach, delivering comprehensive equipment without trim level complexity. Every unit includes leather-faced seating, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, power sliding doors, power liftgate, remote start, the Uconnect 5 system with 10.1-inch display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, adaptive cruise control, Blind-spot Monitoring, and the complete driver assistance package. Four exterior colours await selection: Bright White, Diamond Black Crystal Pearl, Red Hot Pearl, and Silver Mist, each matched with the Black cloth interior appointment. Remote proximity keyless entry operates all doors, and a security alarm guards the vehicle when unattended. This streamlined strategy ensures uniform value regardless of when or where the vehicle is purchased.
