The interior, too, received a makeover with a more modern dashboard design, enhanced comfort features, and improved storage solutions. This generation of Caravan offered a variety of powertrain options, including a 2.4L four-cylinder engine for fuel efficiency, a 3.3L V6 for moderate performance, and a 3.8L V6 for a more spirited driving experience.
