What is the Dodge Caravan?

The Dodge Caravan is a minivan with a tall cabin for passengers and cargo. Chrysler’s Caravan and Plymouth Voyager helped establish the minivan as a practical family vehicle, bringing a passenger-focused layout and sliding doors to everyday travel. The Caravan’s roomy interior also made it useful for carrying bulky loads.

The third-generation Caravan ran from 1996 to 2000, followed by the fourth generation from 2001 to 2007. The third generation brought a ground-up redesign of Chrysler’s minivans. The fourth continued the family-focused layout with a new body and cabin.
