To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans, the U.S. carmaker has launched two special edition models, one for each brand.
Available this fall, the 30th Anniversary Editions bring new features, commemorative badging, special paint and black interior trim, among others. The 2014 Chrysler Town & Country 30th Anniversary Edition is based on the Touring-L model and features 17-inch aluminum wheels with polished faces and painted Satin Carbon pockets, “30th Anniversary” badging and the availability of Granite Crystal Pearl Coat paint.
On the inside, the special edition Chrysler minivan is equipped with black Alcantara seat inserts with Nappa seat bolsters, piano black steering wheel bezels and instrument panel trim, third-row power folding seats and power folding mirrors. The 30th Anniversary logo appears in the gauge cluster and touch-screen radio splash screen, on the key fob and Light Graystone lower instrument panel, on the center console, door armrest stitching and door panels.
The 30th Anniversary Edition also comes standard with the Driver’s Convenience Group that includes heated first- and second-row seating, a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel, power adjustable pedals, Keyless Enter-N-Go and bright door handles.
A similar package is offered on the 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan 30th Anniversary Edition, which will be available on both the SE and SXT models. The minivan rides on 17-inch polished satin carbon aluminum wheels and features body-color heated exterior mirrors and 30th Anniversary badging on the front fenders.
The interior comes with features such as silver accent stitching and piano black accents, black cloth seats, a black leather-wrapped steering wheel, black leather-wrapped shift knob, black headliner and overhead console, chrome heating and air conditioning trim bezels and power windows for the second- and third-row of seats.
The 30th Anniversary logo can be seen in the gauge cluster and on the key fob. Other features include the Uconnect Handsfree Group featuring SiriusXM Satellite Radio with a one-year subscription, Bluetooth streaming audio, voice command and an auto-dimming rear view mirror. On top of the SE trim level, the Dodge Grand Caravan SXT 30th Anniversary Edition also features bright chrome window trim moldings and roof rack, fog lamps, automatic headlamps, Black Torino Leatherette seats with suede inserts and silver accent stitching and a 10-way power driver’s seat.
Both models are powered by the 283hp 3.6-liter V6 engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
