2013 Chrysler Town & Country: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2013 Chrysler Town & Country is the new S trim, which brings blacked-out styling, a firmer suspension and standard dual-screen Blu-ray entertainment. The rest of the minivan receives a light update rather than a redesign.
About the 2013 Chrysler Town & Country
5th generation (2008-2016), third model year after the major 2011 styling and interior update.
Chrysler markets the Town & Country as the more upscale take on the family minivan: a people mover with a premium cabin, strong standard comfort equipment, smart seating flexibility, and built-in entertainment. Its core appeal is doing family-duty work without feeling stripped down. Compared with mainstream rivals, Chrysler leans heavily on leather-trimmed seating, Stow 'n Go fold-flat seating, power doors, and a more luxury-oriented presentation than the closely related Dodge Grand Caravan.
The 2013 Town & Country remains a premium-focused family minivan, with leather-trimmed seating, power sliding doors and fold-flat second- and third-row seats even on the Touring trim. Touring-L emphasizes added driver assistance, the new S has a darker and sportier look, and Limited tops the range with navigation, upgraded leather, heated second-row seats and premium audio.
