The Town & Country's drivetrain mirrors the one in the Grand Caravan. It's a 283-horsepower V-6, coupled to a six-speed automatic and front-wheel drive. (Among minivans, only the Toyota Sienna still offers all-wheel drive). The powertrain is fine for toting a full family around from mall to mall, and the steering responds a bit more quickly than before. Ride and handling are oriented around safety and security: it's softly tuned, and the suspension bounds more than the fairly responsive Odyssey and Sienna. The V-6 delivers better acceleration by a wide margin, but fuel economy hasn't lost ground in adopting more horsepower.
With standard Stow 'N Go seating system, the Chrysler minivans lead the minivan pack in flexibility. Stow 'N Go means the two rearmost rows of seats can be folded into the floor. The former Swivel 'N Go picnic table package is no longer available for reservations, however. In its current edition, all Chrysler minivans have earned a Top Safety Pick rating from the IIHS.
New for the 2013 model year are a Blu-Ray DVD entertainment system, which Chrysler claims is an industry-first; it also features an HDMI input and twin USB ports for gaming and charging. Trailer-sway control has been integrated into the stability control system.
