The 2009 model year is a milestone for the minivan. It’s been 25 years since Chrysler gave the van a mini-makeover. The most recent makeover of the Town & Country minivan was the 2008 model year when the vehicle underwent a complete redesign inside/outside. As a fifth-generation vehicle, the front wheel drive Town & Country has more than 40 upgrades from the previous generation minivan. Among the notable features is the Swivel ‘n Go seat system (second row seats swivel 180 degrees to face the third row). For passengers who want that home-away-from-home feeling, a removable table—temporarily affixed into a floor mount to avoid unwanted wobbles—is a useful option for second and third row passengers.

Town & Country is the first minivan to offer blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-path accident avoidance systems. Safety features are plentiful, including standard traction control on all of versions (LX, Touring and Limited). Stow space is always relevant for minivan customers and the Town & Country’s spots for stuff include a front row sliding console, second row covered bins as well as a third row stow zone. On the power side, engine options are a 4.0-liter V6, a 3.8-liter V8, and a 3.3-liter flex fuel V6. Chrysler Town & Country Limited with 4.0-liter V6 and 6-speed automatic transmission collects estimated mpg fuel economy of 17 city/25 highway and carries a MSRP of $36,530.
