Dodge Grand Caravan
Having redefined the family car in the 1980s, the Dodge Grand Caravan is still one of the most popular minivans on the Canadian market. It rests on the same platform as the Chrysler Town & Country and the Volkswagen Routan. These three vehicles also feature the same drivetrain: a 3.6L V6 that delivers 282 hp and 260 lbs.-ft. of torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
