Hi
I want to buy a Caravan black in color .Will it qualify for Black Suv? If not what is the minimum you would recommend to go for .
Thanks
Hi Shiraz, A Grand Caravan will not qualify for Black SUV. It will qualify for XL, 6 passenger+. You may not want to drive under black because of the commercial insurance pre-qualifier. Check with your local team. We suggest looking into the Toyota Sienna under XL and X. Good Luck. Remember to always drive under warranty if your planning on adding up those kms.
