2014 Dodge Grand Caravan R/T

It's Dodge's minivan, the one that has kept the family-hauler segment honest for years. The Grand Caravan drives with a planted, stable feel that makes highway trips easy, though the steering is a bit light. Inside, you get three rows of seating and the clever Stow 'n Go system that folds the second and third rows flat into the floor. Cargo space is generous with the seats stowed, and the low step-in height makes loading kids and gear simple. The R/T adds a sportier look with unique wheels and a more aggressive grille over the SXT, plus a firmer suspension for sharper handling. Its 3.6L V6 makes 283 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed automatic, giving it enough punch to merge onto highways without drama while returning 20 mpg combined. The R/T's suspension is noticeably stiffer than the SE or SXT, so you'll feel bumps more, but it corners flatter for a minivan.
