Chrysler Town & Country

The 2011 Chrysler Town & Country is the best minivan for you and your family; it is a clear recognition of what is an American world-class vehicle. Find the 2011 Chrysler Town & Country at Rairdon Chrysler, the top Seattle Chrysler dealer.

Styling

The 2011 Chrysler Town & Country styling changes would be confined to a revised front end, maybe tweaked taillamps, and perhaps some new cabin-surface textures. The size and shape of the body would be unaltered, and Town & Country would continue with a grille and trim details that make it look more conservative than the Grand Caravan, which is in line for its own 2011 appearance updates. Both these minivans were fully redesigned for model-year 2008, gaining slab-sided styling that serves their main function: maximizing interior space. They have sliding side doors on both sides and a rear liftgate; power operation for all those doors is available, and the sliding doors have roll-down windows.

Features

The 2011 Chrysler Town & Country will continue in several trim levels with ascending tiers of equipment. A continuation of a lineup that includes a base-level LX, midline Touring, and top-line Limited models is a good bet.

Currently standard or optional, depending on model, are separate climate control for each seating row, multi-screen DVD video and satellite TV, mobile Internet Wi-Fi, USB iPod and Bluetooth phone linking, and voice-activate navigation. Town & Country can also be ordered with blind-spot sensing systems to warn of unseen vehicles in adjacent lanes or approaching from the sides in parking lots. Stain-resistant cloth or leather are upholstery choices. The front seats are buckets and all Town & Country models come with a split third-row bench that folds into a floor well; power-folding control is available.

Buyers get a choice of second-row seating types. With Stow ’n Go, two forward-facing buckets can be folded neatly into compartments in the floor. This eliminates the need to remove them to maximize cargo space and makes possible a flat, uninterrupted load surface when the rear bench also is folded. The alternative Swivel ’n Go seating allows the second-row buckets to be turned 180 degrees to face third-row passengers. A removable table can be set up between them as a dining or game surface.

Mechanical

The 2011 Chrysler Town & Country will continue with front-wheel drive and a choice of V-6 engines. Front-wheel drive locates the engine and transaxle in the nose of the vehicle. This benefits packaging efficiency and helps wet-weather traction by placing the powertrain’s weight over the wheels that drive the vehicle. The big mechanical news for model-year 2011 would be availability of Chrysler’s new 3.6-liter V-6, the first member of a new corporate engine family variously known as Pentastar or Phoenix.
