The minivan. The vehicle that is known to be driven by soccer moms and dance class dads all over the country. This might be a great use for the minivan, but there is certainly more to these spacious and versatile vehicles than they are given credit for, and today we are comparing the 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan vs 2015 Honda Odyssey to give you an idea of what makes these so great. Choosing the right one can be difficult when there are great options out there, but this comparison strives to highlight what separates these two vehicles and help to decide which one is a better value. Starting with the exterior, each of these vans feature their own style and design.
The more aggressive and solid stance of the Dodge Grand Caravan meets the more fluid and aerodynamic Honda Odyssey. The more welcoming and traditional exterior of the Dodge Grand Caravan appears more family friendly, as does the much lower price! Under the hood, the Honda features a slightly smaller engine that offers a little less as far as horsepower and torque. The more powerful Dodge Grand Caravan comes more equipped for towing a trailer, while sacrificing very little in fuel economy. Being a family vehicle, both vans put a high priority on safety features like airbags for frontal and side collision protection. Other features include daytime running lights and an illuminated entry. While both the Dodge and the Honda have a variety of exterior features that set them apart from the rest, the interior of the Dodge Grand Caravan has more to offer the driver and passengers at a lower cost.
Sitting in the driver’s seat of the Dodge Grand Caravan, it is immediately comfortable. The spacious feeling of the simple base model will leave any car shopper feeling confident in their control of the vehicle. The extremely useful stow-and-go seating in the rear rows of seats allow for a large amount of available cargo space, and the front dash features all the necessary controls without complicated touch screens and software. The Honda Odyssey has a great-looking interior design, but can be tricky to understand. The dual-screen center console leaves the driver with multiple information centers and more distraction from the road.
The folding seats in the back allow for cargo space, but not with the same ease and convenience as there is in the Dodge. Auxiliary and USB inputs, along with Bluetooth accessibility are included in these vans, with the Dodge exceeding expectations for a vehicle at such an affordable price. Interior space in the rear seats is comfortable and versatile with plenty of cupholders and storage capabilities. Without all the complicated bells and whistles that often break, the 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan is the perfect family vehicle that puts together everything you need in a vehicle, and more!
