Dodge Grand Caravan SE, SXT, GT & More Trims

In later lineups, SE is the straightforward passenger trim. It centers on seven-passenger room, V6 power, a fold-into-floor third row, rear climate control, and basic everyday equipment without the richer convenience features of higher trims.

In later lineups, SE Plus adds useful driver conveniences over SE, including automatic headlights, fog lights, remote start, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, Bluetooth calling and audio streaming, and extra front-console storage.

In later lineups, SXT makes loading people and cargo easier with power sliding side doors and a power liftgate. It also brings second-row seats that fold into the floor and leather-and-suede-style seat trim.

In later years, GT builds on SXT with a firmer suspension setup, built-in navigation, a nine-speaker amplified audio system, and leather-trimmed first- and second-row seats. Both retain power sliding doors and a power liftgate.

They are successive names for the sport-themed top trim, not a normal side-by-side pair. R/T filled that role through 2016, and GT replaced it for 2017. Both use a firmer suspension and richer cabin equipment; GT adds standard navigation in its later form.

In the years when both were sold, AVP was the essentials-first entry trim. It commonly used a removable second-row bench and simpler climate equipment. SE sat above it with a more family-oriented equipment mix, while keeping the same basic V6 minivan formula.

In the mid-2010s lineup, SXT Plus gives SXT a richer cabin and more driver conveniences. Key upgrades include synthetic leather and suede seat trim, an eight-way power driver’s seat, automatic headlights, fog lights, Bluetooth, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Look first at SXT and higher trims in the later lineup. SXT’s defining everyday upgrades include power sliding side doors and a power liftgate. Upper versions such as R/T, GT, and certain anniversary editions also include them.

SE Plus is the practical match in later lineups. It adds Bluetooth calling and audio streaming, remote start, automatic headlights, fog lights, and a power driver’s seat while staying below the power-door-focused SXT.

No. The 30th and 35th Anniversary editions combine special wheels, trim, and badging with practical upgrades. Depending on the edition, those extras include second-row fold-into-floor seats, Bluetooth, a power driver’s seat, heated seats, navigation, or power doors.

The SE 35th Anniversary is the simpler commemorative model, adding fold-into-floor second-row seats, a power driver’s seat, Bluetooth, and special trim. The SXT version goes further with navigation, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, automatic climate control, power doors, and a power liftgate.

Crew is an older comfort-focused trim. It adds a 6.5-inch touchscreen, an eight-way power driver’s seat, three-zone automatic climate control, automatic headlights, fog lights, remote start, and a garage-door opener.

They are older fifth-generation trims. Express is an essentials-first passenger van. Mainstreet adds a more polished equipment mix, including additional power windows and alloy wheels. Hero is a short-lived middle trim with a 3.8-liter V6, six-speed automatic, upgraded audio, and alloy wheels.

The older cargo model is a two-seat work van rather than a family trim. It has an open rear cargo hold with up to 143.8 cubic feet of space, plus the 3.6-liter V6 and six-speed automatic used after the 2011 refresh.
