2020 Dodge Grand Caravan vs 2020 Honda Odyssey
Exceptional levels of versatility, reliability, and room for the whole family make the Dodge Grand Caravan and the Honda Odyssey two of the most popular vehicles in their class. While the two vehicles match up nicely in most categories, a fifteen to twenty percent lower sticker price gives the Dodge Grand Caravan a pretty good lead in an otherwise close race. With that said, here's a look at some of the main features of both vehicles in the areas of entertainment, technology, interior, and safety.
Entertainment and Technology
Both vehicles come with excellent entertainment systems that feature colour touchscreen controls, Bluetooth connectivity, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, USB and audio input jacks, and AM/FM/CD/MP3 radios. Most trims on each also offer satellite and HD radio, and Driver Vehicle Information Centre, as well. Grand Caravan GT models add a 6.5-inch touchscreen media centre, a 115-volt auxiliary power outlet, and a 9-speaker, (with subwoofer), 506-watt audio system.
Interior
The Grand Caravan and Odyssey offer buyers exceptional levels of interior comfort and convenience, as well. Heated front seats, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, leather upholstery, and tri-zone climate control come standard or available on both models. Features like 2nd-row Super Stow 'n Go fold-in-floor bucket seats, and 3rd-row Stow 'n Go 60/40 split-folding seats with tailgate seating make getting in and out of the Grand Caravan, a breeze.
Safety
As two of the safest minivans on the road today, the 2020 Dodge Grand Caravan and Honda Odyssey come standard with lots of advanced safety features including electronic stability control, a Rear Back-Up Camera, four-wheel anti-lock brakes, electronic brake distribution, and tire pressure monitoring. All Caravan trims come with Dodge's Enhanced Accident Response System.
