Canada’s best-selling minivan celebrates its 30th birthday in 2014, and flaunts it by adding a special 30th Anniversary version to its line-up. The rest of the Grand Caravan’s comprehensive range is back: CVP (Canada Value Package), SE, SE Plus, SXT, SXT Plus, Crew, Crew Plus and R/T. All but the CVP feature the segment-exclusive Stow ’n Go seats in the middle row. All versions are powered by the 3.6L Pentastar V6 (283 horsepower), teamed with a six-speed automatic gearbox.
