About the 2011 Chrysler Town & Country

5th generation (2008-2016), fourth model year and major refresh.

Chrysler positioned the Town & Country as the upscale family minivan: a people mover that mixed everyday kid-hauling flexibility with a more premium look and feel than many rivals. The core pitch centered on Stow ’n Go seat flexibility, lots of storage, power side doors, a power liftgate, and a long list of standard safety technology. In plain terms, it was built for families who wanted minivan practicality without giving up comfort, convenience, or a richer-looking cabin.

Touring is the practical core of the range, with fold-flat Stow ’n Go seating, power sliding doors, a power liftgate, three-zone climate control, and a 6.5-inch touchscreen. Touring-L adds leather, heated front seats, and remote start, while Limited brings Nappa leather, heated second-row seats, navigation, premium audio, and HID headlights.
