With a choice of 4 gasoline engines, the Caravan was made available in capacities of 1.8 liters to 3.0 liters along with a 2.3 liter turbo diesel. These engines were made available in every model trim including GL, LS, CD and GLS.

The 2.4 liter engine was also replaced by the V6 2.5 while the turbo diesel 2.3 liter was replaced by the V6 2.5 liter. Besides a wider variety of trims the equipment levels were also raised preceding the vehicle from a comfortable Travel ride to the luxurious and deluxe GL Diamond.

Utility and comfort were considered to be the strengths of the vehicle even if fuel efficiency was not. Comfort and utility were further enhanced by new upgrades and engine additions including the introduction of enhanced electronic management and a 4 valve cylinder heads. The biggest renewal however was seen in the diesel power units where a majority of previous line up was replaced by more efficient 2.0, 2.2 and the 2.5 DTIs. A small group of the 2.5 turbocharged regular's only were upgraded and kept.
