The 2012 Chrysler Town and Country comes in three trims and uses the same 3.6L V6 engine that delivers good performance and provides slightly low fuel economy.
The 2012 Chrysler Town and Country comes in three trims and uses the same 3.6L V6 engine that delivers good performance and provides slightly low fuel economy. The interior is extremely luxurious, and the minivan provides a pretty good amount of space in the first and second rows, while the third row is quite cramped.
The 2012 Chrysler Town and Country’s mid-level Touring L trim would be the best option to go for. It starts at $33,145 and comes equipped with features, including chrome, power-folding, heated, with supplemental signals and driver-side auto-dimming exterior mirror, optional power sunroof, vehicle information center - displays in the instrument panel, controls on steering wheel, rear parking sensors, remote ignition, power-adjustable front passenger seat, second-and third-row window shades along with other standard luxury features from the base trim.

The 2012 Chrysler Town and Country’s mid-level Touring L trim would be the best option to go for. It starts at $33,145 and comes equipped with features, including chrome, power-folding, heated, with supplemental signals and driver-side auto-dimming exterior mirror, optional power sunroof, vehicle information center - displays in the instrument panel, controls on steering wheel, rear parking sensors, remote ignition, power-adjustable front passenger seat, second-and third-row window shades along with other standard luxury features from the base trim.
The 2012 Chrysler Town and Country comes equipped with a 3.6-liter V6 engine that puts out a maximum power of 283 hp and a maximum torque of 260 lb-ft. The engine's power is transferred to the front wheels through a 6-speed shiftable automatic transmission. The Town and Country reaches 60 mph in 7.5 seconds and crosses the quarter-mile mark in 16 seconds, which are pretty good numbers considering the size and segment. The acceleration is pretty strong, but the gearbox can feel clunky during shifts on occasions.

In comparison, the Chrysler is the fastest of the lot. With a 3.6L V6 under its hood putting out 283 hp and 260 lb-ft, the Chrysler launches to 60 mph in 7.5 seconds and crosses the quarter-mile mark in 16 seconds. The Kia Sedona and Honda Odyssey follow with power outputs of 271 hp and 248 hp, respectively. The Odyssey and Sedona take 8.3 and 8.4 seconds to complete a 0-60 mph sprint, respectively.
In the minivan segment, the Town and Country doesn’t deliver any mind-blowing numbers in terms of fuel efficiency. The Chrysler Town and Country delivers a fuel efficiency of 17 mpg in the city, 25 on the highway, and 20 mpg of combined fuel economy. The Town and Country gets a 20-gallon fuel capacity, outputting a range of 340 miles in the city, 500 on the highway, and a combined range of 400 miles.

The Kia Sedona delivers the best combined fuel efficiency of 21 mpg, followed by the Chrysler and Honda, both delivering efficiency of 20 mpg. The Sedona has the biggest fuel capacity of 21.1 gallons, followed by the Odyssey and Chrysler with 21.0 and 20-gallon fuel capacities. The Sedona delivers a combined range of 422 miles, followed by the Honda Odyssey providing a little bit higher 422 miles of combined range, while the Town and Country is not far behind delivering a combined range of 400 miles.
The Town and Country provides a not so spacious interior with an upscale cabin. The materials in the lower trims are of good quality, even though some elements might seema bit finicky, whereas the higher trims feature proper luxury and high-quality materials. There is good amount of space and comfort offered in the first row seats, while the second row lacks legroom, whereas the third row offers a cramped and awkward seating position.
But as is very usual in three-row vehicles, except for some very rare cases, the third row can be left for children or to accommodate more luggage. The cabin features three-zone climate control, and the seats are covered in leather in the lower trims, whereas in the higher trims, the upholstery features Nappa leather with Suede Inserts.

The competition is all in similar territory in terms of front row space. When it comes to second-row space, the Chrysler seriously lacks legroom compared to the competition, and in the third row, the Chrysler again has the least legroom. At the same price as the Touring trim of the Town and Country that offers just 31.8 inches of legroom, the Odyssey’s L trim provides a drastically increased 42.4 inches of legroom. When it comes to cargo capacity, the Honda has the most of 38.4 cu-ft, followed by the Chrysler with 33.0 cu-ft and the Kia with 32.2 cu-ft of the cargo area. Major interior features include-
The 2012 Chrysler Town and Country features a Chrysler Uconnect 430N infotainment unit with a 6.5-inch touch screen. It is equipped with Bluetooth, Aux, and USB Connectivity along with satellite radio. As for audio, there is a 6-speaker audio system present as standard in the lower trims, while the higher trims feature nine amplified speakers with a subwoofer and a 506-watt amplifier. The higher-end audio system sounds great. Few key infotainment features of the minivan are-
The Town and Country looks plain and dumb like a traditional minivan, and there is nothing to be excited about in the exterior of this Chrysler. The design and exterior elements remain pretty much unchanged. The side profile features 17" alloy wheels in different styles and finishes across different trims. The front end has a horizontally lined chrome grille and HID headlamps along with LED DRLs and fog lamps.

The Honda weighs 4,526 lbs, followed by the Chrysler that weighs 4,652 lbs, while the Kia is the heaviest by a very slight margin weighing 4,656 lbs. The Sedona has the best ground clearance of 6.7 inches, while the Chrysler and the Honda have 5.6 and 4.5 inches of clearance, respectively. The Honda is the widest in the competition, while the Kia is the highest. Major exterior highlights of the minivan are-
The new Chrysler Town and Country comes equipped with many standard safety features for keeping its huge body and a large number of passengers safe, including ABS, advanced multistage driver and front-passenger airbags with low-risk deployment feature, side-curtain airbags for outboard occupants in all three rows, front seat-mounted side and driver’s inflatable knee blocker airbags, along with other high tech safety features.
NHTSA has given the Town and Country a rating of four stars, while IIHS gives it a ‘Good’ for moderate front overlap, side crash protection, and roof strength. These impressive safety scores ensure that the Town and Country is a safe vehicle. It stops from 60 mph at a distance of 128 ft, which is an average distance. Few salient safety features of the Town and Country are-
The 2012 Chrysler Town and Country is not the best option in the segment. It is one of the most powerful ones, yes, but not the most spacious or comfortable one. It is also not the best-looking, nor does it have a competitive price. The Town and Country is not what you need to aim for if you are planning to get a minivan as better options are available in the segment.
