“The look and comfort are good. Engine seems strong if maintained well. Transmission is the weak link. An extended warranty might be worth it just to cover the high cost of transmission repair.”
2015 Dodge Grand Caravan: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan is the addition of the SE Plus and SXT Plus trims. This is otherwise a light update, with standard 17-inch wheels across the lineup but no redesign or powertrain change.
About the 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan
5th generation (2008-2020), late-cycle model year after the major 2011 update.
Dodge positioned the Grand Caravan as a practical family van first and foremost: a seven-passenger people mover that can quickly turn into a cargo hauler. Its biggest selling points were seat flexibility, strong V6 power, useful storage, and value pricing. The model stood out by pairing everyday family duty with Dodge’s fold-into-the-floor seating system, giving buyers a van that could handle kids, road trips, home-improvement runs, and bulky cargo without moving heavy seats in and out.
The 2015 lineup ranges from the straightforward AVP to the family-focused SXT, which has power sliding doors and a power liftgate. The new Plus trims add hands-free connectivity and upgraded cabin materials, while the R/T stands out with leather-trimmed seats, a firmer suspension, a 6.5-inch touchscreen, and a rearview camera.

“my voice recognition does not work very well. The middle console is way too low to ground. I hate the arm rest on front seats too flimsy”
