Two Minivans with some similarities, but otherwise different in most aspects such as the horsepower, ground shadow size, fuel economy, height, and maximum occupancy. First of all, the 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan has a more powerful engine and gets 3.5 mpg less than the 2015 Ford Transit Connect. Also, comparing the dimensions we see that the 2016 Grand Caravan is significantly larger, although it's slightly shorter than the 2015 Transit Connect. And finally, you'll seat two more passengers in the Grand Caravan than in the Transit Connect. Among similarities are the body structure and starting price.
