Chrysler's minivans in deluxe treatment come in standard-length and extended-wheelbase editions. Lines look fresh this year with a revamped face featuring sculpted headlamps set above shapely fascia containing dual foglamps. Inside, the cabin shows seats in three rows with new appointments added like sycamore wood trim in the center dash stack highlighted by satin silver accents.

Safety gear increases with curtain-style air bags stretching the length of the cabin above all outboard seats and an inflatable air bag positioned forward of the driver's knees.

And Chrysler's inventive Stow 'n Go seat plan works here with second and third tier seats folding into the floor and storage bins set below each chair in upright position. FWD and AWD models are offered, with top-of-the-line Limited capping this series and transforming the all-too-common minivan into a fancy people-hauler.
