Minivan Caravan

Overview: The sleek new Chrysler Pacifica may be getting all the attention lately, but its maker, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, isn’t quite ready yet to put all its minivan eggs in one basket. And so the Dodge brand is hanging on to its own minivan offering, the Grand Caravan—mechanical twin to the Pacifica’s predecessor, the now defunct Town & Country minivan—for at least another year. Last redesigned for 2008, the Grand Caravan is getting old, and it is now being positioned … http://spb-sovtrans.ru

Minivan with table

A clean-sheet redesign aims to counter the stale image of the previous-generation Chrysler minivans including a name change. Starting this spring, the successor of this ubiquitous all-American family mobile is to be known as the Chrysler Pacifica.

Chrysler hopes that abandoning the Town & Country name will help recast the minivan’s image, aided by a shapely, modern body …

Town N Country minivan

Outside noise shouldn’t be a concern when riding in the 2016 Town & Country, as the cabin stays quietly isolated even at cruising speed. The front seats offer plenty of room all around, and kids can easily fit in the last two rows. The second- and third-row seats, however, have deeply reclined seatbacks that may be uncomfortable for adults on longer trips. If you regularly shuttle adults in the back rows, the Honda Odyssey is the best choice in the class. The Town & …

Minivan or SUVs for family of 6

Seeing our obviously growing family, the well-meaning salesman brought us over to a minivan. The second those power doors slid open, I quickly corrected him: No, no. This is only my second baby. I am not driving that. Fast-forward two years and two babies later, and I m now driving a minivan; I ve jumped the fence from No way, no how to No, really; it s awesome …

Stow away seats minivan

Pull the carpet that is in front of the seat upwards with both of your hands, and place it to the side. It s preferable to place these carpets outside the vehicle when you do so, but after a few times, you ll be able to determine just how much space you ll need to use to be able to find a place to put these.

Volvo, minivan

Volvo s flagship XC90 is a large, luxurious land yacht. With seating for seven, a stately interior and the world s best SUV safety rating, it s like a comfy three-room apartment on wheels. In other words, it s a minivan — with all of the amenities, but none of the embarrassment, of driving that much-lampooned soccer mom-mobile. Don t get me wrong. Some of my best friends are soccer moms. I love minivans and have owned several. My daughters childhoods were no longer nor more violent …

Turn minivan into Camper

Earlier this year, I was awarded a National Geographic Young Explorers Grant to spend four months driving around the United States documenting nocturnal culture with my partner and collaborator, Kevin Weidner (who helped me write this piece), and our two dogs (check out my piece on late-night Vegas). Because the grant mostly covered fuel and food, and because we needed to cover a lot of ground in a relatively short amount of time, one of our first tasks was to figure out a reliable …

For those of you who aren t aware, a Ford Aerostar is a minivan. And not just any minivan: an anteater-shaped minivan with standard rear-wheel drive that …
