What the ratings mean
NHTSA gives the 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan 4 out of 5 stars overall, below the 5-star median for the 4 comparable 2017 vehicles NHTSA rated in this class.
NHTSA published results for every NCAP test in this program, so the overall star rating rests on a complete set of crash and rollover results.
NHTSA's dynamic test put this vehicle's rollover probability at 16.4% in a single-vehicle crash — the figure behind the rollover star rating, published here because the star alone hides how wide each band is.

How this compares
At 20 MPG combined, the 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan ranks 3rd of 4 minivan -s (2WD) EPA rated for 2017 — 1 MPG short of the 21 MPG median for that group.
That places it among the thirstiest vehicles in its class. If annual mileage is high, the running-cost gap against a class-average rival compounds quickly.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $3,100, $150 more than the $2,950 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $15,500, a $750 difference against a class-median vehicle.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 445 grams per mile — about 6.7 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
