Is the Dodge Grand Caravan AWD or FWD?

The question of whether the Dodge Caravan is front-wheel drive (FWD), all-wheel drive (AWD), or 4-wheel drive (4WD) has been a common one since its inception in 1983. The Dodge Caravan, along with its larger counterpart the Grand Caravan, has historically been known for its use of a front-wheel drive platform. This means that the power from the engine is primarily sent to the front wheels to propel the vehicle forward.

Evolution of Drivetrain Options

While there was a brief period when an all-wheel drive model was available, current production models do not include this option. Dodge has shifted its focus away from offering AWD or 4WD variants of the Caravan in recent years. Instead, the company has concentrated on refining the front-wheel drive system to optimize performance, efficiency, and affordability for drivers.

The Current Lineup

In the current lineup of Dodge Caravan and Grand Caravan models, all are front-wheel drive. This decision reflects Dodge’s strategic approach to meeting the needs of the majority of consumers who prioritize factors like fuel efficiency and affordability. While some drivers may prefer the added traction and control of an AWD or 4WD system, Dodge has tailored its offerings to suit the preferences of the wider market.
