Body Styles, Trim Levels, and
OptionsThe 2010 Chrysler Town & Country minivan
is available in three trim levels: LX, Touring and
Limited.
The base LX comes standard with 16-inch steel
wheels, full power accessories (including second-row power windows and third-row
power vents), front and rear air-conditioning, cruise control, Stow 'n Go
second-row seating, stain-repellent cloth upholstery, a tilt steering wheel, a
flip-down kiddie mirror and a CD/MP3 player. The optional Power Convenience
Group adds power-sliding doors, a power tailgate and a power driver seat. The
LX's optional Entertainment Group comes with a rear-seat entertainment system
with two wireless headphones, satellite radio and a touchscreen stereo interface
with 30GB of digital music storage.
The T&C Touring
comes standard with the Power Convenience Group as well as a larger V6 engine,
16-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlamps, foglamps, power-adjustable pedals,
overhead storage bins with mood lighting, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and
shift knob and satellite radio. Even more options are available on the Touring,
but they're typically bundled in packages. The Family Value Group adds second-
and third-row sunshades, a sliding front center console and remote ignition. The
Premium Group adds 17-inch wheels, rain-sensing wipers, automatic climate
control, an iPod control, leather upholstery, a power-folding third-row seat, an
auto-dimming rearview mirror and Bluetooth. The Entertainment Group is optional
on the Touring but adds a single-DVD player and a third-row screen (swivels with
Swivel 'n Go). Also optional are heated first- and second-row seats and Sirius
Backseat TV.
The T&C Limited has the features from
the Family Value Group and Premium Group as standard. You'll also get 17-inch
chrome-clad alloy wheels, xenon headlights, rear parking assist, driver memory
settings, rear climate control and a nine-speaker stereo with uconnect tunes.
The optional Entertainment Group includes Sirius Backseat TV in the
Limited.
Optional on all trim levels is Swivel 'n Go seating
with a foldaway table. If equipped with the latter, second-row integrated child
booster seats are optional. Also optional on the two top trims are a sunroof and
a navigation system with real-time traffic reports. The power-folding third-row
seat is a stand-alone option on the Limited.
Powertrains and
PerformanceThe front-wheel-drive 2010 Chrysler Town
& Country can be equipped with one of three V6 engine choices. The base
LX trim gets a 3.3-liter V6 good for 175 horsepower and 205 pound-feet of
torque. A four-speed automatic is standard. Fuel economy for this engine is
disappointing, given its meager output -- 17 mpg city/24 mpg highway and 19 mpg
combined.
The Touring comes with a 3.8-liter V6 that produces
197 hp and 230 lb-ft of torque. The Limited gets a more modern 4.0-liter V6
making 251 hp and 259 lb-ft of torque. Both of these engines come with a
six-speed automatic. Despite their differing power outputs, they also get the
same fuel economy at 16 city/23 highway and 18 mpg combined. The T&C
Limited goes from zero to 60 mph in 8.8 seconds, which is rather quick for a
minivan.
SafetyThe 2010 Town & Country comes
standard with antilock disc brakes, traction and stability control, active
front-seat headrests and full-length side curtain airbags. Optional on all trims
are second-row integrated child booster seats (requires Swivel 'n Go). Optional
on all but the LX is the Security Group, which adds rear parking sensors
(standard on Limited), a blind-spot monitoring system and Rear Cross Path. The
latter feature aids drivers any time the vehicle is in reverse by warning of
cross traffic in both directions to prevent the minivan from being
T-boned.
In government crash tests, the 2010 Chrysler Town &
Country scored a perfect five stars in all frontal- and side-impact categories.
In Insurance Institute for Highway Safety testing, the Grand Caravan also scored
the best possible rating of "Good" in the frontal-offset and side-impact crash
tests.
