Chrysler Town & Country

The Chrysler Town & Country is the benchmark for traveling in style! Inspired by great design, the Town & County pushes the boundaries by offering comfort, essential cargo room, quality and dependability.

Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options

The 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 Performance

The 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.

Safety

The 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.

Interior Design and Special Features

Audio controls are mounted up high for easy use and viewing.

Like all minivans, the Town & Country has many convenience features. The most notable are the various second-row seating choices. Those offered by the Swivel ‘n Go system feature higher seatbacks and are thus more comfortable. As the name suggests, these seats can be spun around to create a trainlike face-to-face traveling experience for second- and third-row passengers. Fittingly, a pole-mounted table can be placed between both rows with Swivel ‘n Go.

Other innovative features include two rear video screens (one swivels), a power-folding third row, under-floor storage, Sirius Satellite TV, ambient cabin lighting, a pop-out cargo-area-mounted flashlight and a driver-door umbrella holder. With all the rear seating flat, the T&C can carry up to 140 cubic feet of cargo.
