Is VW Routan a Dodge Caravan?
The Volkswagen Routan is not a Dodge Caravan, but it is based on the Dodge Caravan. The Routan is essentially a rebadged Chrysler minivan with some modifications made by Volkswagen. These modifications include changes to the suspension, front and rear styling, and the interior, transforming the Dodge Caravan into the Volkswagen Routan. Additionally, the Routan is powered by Chrysler 3.8- or 4-liter V-6 engines mated to automatic transmissions.
So, while the Volkswagen Routan shares a platform and many components with the Dodge Caravan, it is not a Dodge Caravan itself, but rather a modified version of it.
