While it may not be the newest minivan on the block, it holds its own with a solid V6 engine, versatile interior features, and a reputation for value. As part of a model line that has seen few significant changes in recent years, the 2017 SXT trim remains one of the more appealing choices in the lineup, striking a balance between affordability and functionality.Under the hood, the Grand Caravan SXT is powered by a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine that delivers 283 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Its paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, offering smooth shifting and decent acceleration for a vehicle in this class.
