Dodge will keep accepting new orders for the Grand Caravan until the end of the month before killing off the minivan.
The American car manufacturer had intended on closing the order books in March with the intention of ending production in May. However, with the coronavirus pandemic having forced Dodge to temporarily close its Windsor Assembly Plant, the Grand Caravan will live for a little longer.

The doors to the Windsor Assembly Plant re-opened on May 18th and is currently building the 2020 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2020 Chrysler Voyager, and the 2020 Chrysler Pacifica. The site is currently running just one shift but that is expected to increase, Mopar Insiders reports.
It’s hardly a surprise the Grand Caravan will be killed off as it has become rather long in the tooth in recent years, particularly when compared to its far more modern siblings, the Chrysler Voyager and Chrysler Pacifica. In fact, the current Grand Caravan has been produced in fifth-generation guise since 2007 and yet despite this, it has continued to sell well and was Dodge’s highest-selling vehicle in 2019, accounting for 122,648 vehicles out of the brand’s 422,886 total sales for the year.
Already, the Dodge Grand Caravan has been pulled from the market in select U.S. states due to emissions regulations. These states include California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington.
Three trim levels are currently on offer for the Dodge Grand Caravan, including the SE, SE+, and SXT. Prices start at $27,290, not including a $1,495 destination charge.
