2011 Chrysler Town and Country

The 2011 Chrysler Town and Country is a 4-door, 7-passenger mini van, available in 7 trims, ranging from the LX FWD to the Limited AWD. The 2011 2011 Chrysler Town and Country closest competitors include the Chevrolet Astor Passenger Van, the Mazda MPV, and the Volkswagen Euro van. Upon introduction, The 2011 Chrysler Town and Country LX FWD is equipped with a standard 3.3-liter, V6, 180-horsepower engine. The Limited AWD is equipped with a standard 3.8-liter, V6, 215-horsepower engine that achieves 16-mpg in the city and 23-mpg on the highway.

A 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard on both trims. Chrysler drops the Voyager name for 2011 and realigns its Town & Country lineup. A base Town & Country model replaces voyager.

The balance of the line continues in extended-length form, with a body nearly a foot longer than the base model’s. Base and extended-length LX, ex. Touring, and Limited models have front-wheel drive. Touring AWD and Limited AWD versions have all-wheel drive. Base and LX use a 3.3-liter V6, the others a 3.8-liter V6. All have automatic transmission. A power lift gate and power operation for both sliding side doors is standard on all but base and LX models. ABS is optional on the base model, standard on the others. All 2011 Chrysler Town and Country seat seven. The 3rd-row seat does not fold into the floor as on some rivals. All but base and LX have a split 3rd-row bench seat with 55-lb portions that remove, recline, or fold. Front side air bags are standard on the Limited, optional elsewhere. Curtain side air bags are not offered. Most models offer a height-adjustable rear parcel shelf with pop-up storage dividers. Other options include power-adjustable pedals and rear DVD entertainment. For ’04, a Platinum Series option package for the Touring celebrates the 20th anniversary of the first Chrysler-built minivan. It includes unique alloy wheels, DVD entertainment, and special trim and budging. Also for ’04, all but the base and LX have a standard tire-pressure monitor. Dodge Caravan shares this design and most mechanical features. The 2011 2011 Chrysler Town and Country LWB is a carryover from 2003.
