Chrysler offers two minivan models: the Dodge Caravan and the more upscale Chrysler Town & Country. Functionally just about identical, these corporate siblings go head to head with the 2012 Sienna. Now in its third model generation, Sienna sets a new class standard for passenger comfort while preserving the versatile cargo utility that makes minivans so accommodating. Plus, Sienna offers the only available four-cylinder engine and the only all-wheel drive system available among the top-four best-selling minivans.
This Edge compares Sienna and Town & Country, and showcases Sienna’s many strong points.

20I2 SIENNA vs. 20I2 TOWN & COUNTRY
Town & Country Limited
There are three Town & Country grades for 2011. However, Chrysler has no equivalent to the sporty Sienna SE, nor anything to match the extra traction of an available all-wheel drive driveline, nor a factory-approved mobility option. In short, Sienna is a great competitor that opens lots of sales opportunities Chrysler can’t touch.

Passenger space advantages
Sienna’s comfortable interior offers more head and hip room than Town & Country in all three rows. Second-row passengers will also appreciate an extra 1.1 inches of leg room.

Long Slide second-row seats
With 23 inches of fore-and-aft adjustability, Sienna’s second-row seats can slide far back to provide limo-like leg room. Town & Country’s second-row seats don’t offer the same generous maximum leg room.
Available removable center second-row seat
Town & Country’s second-row “Stow ‘n Go®” seats are small and comparatively uncomfortable. Sienna’s comfortable second-row seats are large and supportive. Plus, with its available removable center second-row seat, Sienna can accommodate up to eight passengers. Town & Country only seats a maximum of seven passengers.

Sporty stance
Even sitting still, Sienna looks like it wants to move. Its athletic stance is helped by having larger wheels than Town & Country, as well as having a wider track all around for a more planted look.

Four-channel ABS
Sienna uses four-channel ABS, so braking performance at each wheel is monitored and adjusted independently. Town & Country puts both rear wheels on one channel. Thus, even if only one rear wheel slips, braking effort on both will be reduced.

� greaT for Cargo
No matter how you look at it, Sienna offers more cargo volume1 than Town & Country. Particularly useful is the additional 6.1 cubic feet Sienna offers behind the third row of seats. So when the seats are full of friends and family, the Sienna’s extra cargo space comes in handy.

� oTher Sienna advanTageS
Recognized for value
When the editors of IntelliChoice.com named their 2011 “Best Overall Value of the Year” winners, the luxury minivan winner wasn’t Chrysler, it was Toyota Sienna.3 This further solidifies Sienna’s reputation as the gold standard among minivans.
Sienna advantagesA Closer Look
Eco Driving Indicator
To help drivers go “greener,” all Sienna grades have an Eco Drive Indicator light. It illuminates when the Sienna is being driven efficiently. And to provide even more detailed driver feedback in Sienna LE V6 and above, the Eco Driving Indicator Zone Multi-Information Display further highlights accelerator operation.
