The 2026 Grand Caravan: Family-First Innovation at Jim Thompson Chrysler
For over 40 years, the Chrysler Grand Caravan has been a trusted name for Canadian families. The 2026 model builds on this legacy by blending spacious comfort, clever storage, dependable performance, and advanced technology. Whether it’s school runs, weekend hockey trips, or family road adventures, the Grand Caravan is designed to make life simpler and more enjoyable for drivers in Kingston and across Ontario.
What’s New for 2026
The 2026 Grand Caravan continues to push forward with refinements to comfort and tech features that keep it ahead of the curve. Families will appreciate the latest version of the Uconnect® 5 system, offering faster responses and wireless smartphone compatibility. Updates to cold-weather features also make it even better suited for Canadian winters, with standard remote start and Active Grille Shutters to improve efficiency in frigid conditions. Chrysler has also enhanced cabin comfort with available leatherette seating, climate control, and thoughtful storage improvements, all while keeping the timeless practicality that made the Grand Caravan famous.
Smart Technology for Busy Families
The Uconnect® 5 multimedia system is at the heart of the 2026 Grand Caravan. Its 10.1-inch touchscreen gives drivers and passengers quick access to calls, messages, maps, music, and more. With Bluetooth® that can connect two devices at once, parents can stay in touch while kids stream entertainment. Families also benefit from Chrysler Connect and the companion app, which lets you remotely start the vehicle, pre-set the climate, or check status updates from your smartphone. For road trips, the standard six-speaker sound system and noise cancellation technology help create a more peaceful drive.
Spacious Interior and Stow ’n Go® Seating
One of the Grand Caravan’s defining features is its Class-Exclusive Stow ’n Go® second- and third-row seating. This fold-in-floor system gives drivers 243 different configurations to balance passenger and cargo needs, plus an impressive 3,978 litres of cargo space when the seats are folded flat. Whether it’s hockey bags, groceries, or camping gear, the Grand Caravan adapts instantly. Comfort comes standard too, with three-zone climate control, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and available sunshades to keep every ride comfortable.
Dependable Performance for Ontario Roads
Powering the 2026 Grand Caravan is a 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 engine with 287 horsepower and fuel-saving technologies like Variable Valve Timing (VVT) and Engine Stop/Start (ESS). Paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, the Grand Caravan delivers smooth performance and efficiency. Highway fuel economy is as low as 8.4 L/100 km, making it an efficient choice for long drives from Kingston to cottage country or beyond. With its generous 7-passenger seating and versatile design, it’s a minivan built to handle daily commutes and road trips alike.
Safety That Gives Peace of Mind
Families can drive with confidence knowing that the Grand Caravan is equipped with advanced safety features. Standard systems include ParkView® Rear Back-Up Camera, eight airbags, and Rain Brake Support. Available features like Blind-Spot Monitoring, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, and Park-Sense® Rear Park Assist provide extra layers of protection on busy Ontario roads.
