Used 2014 Chrysler Town and Country for sale 

There are 4 main trims available: Touring, S, Touring-L, and Limited. The car gets a single engine option. The price starts from $30,765 for the base variant and goes up to $41,995 for the top-of-the-line trim. Standard features on all the trims include 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, fog-lights, automatic wipers, a roof rack, heated mirrors, triple-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, and an eight-way power driver seat (with power lumbar) on the inside.

Some of the features on the higher trims can be added to the lower trims via optional packages. Major package options include a sunroof (Limited only), a towing package (with trailer sway control and an automatic load-leveling suspension that's also available via separate packages on Touring-L and Limited), fixed second-row seats (Touring-L and Limited), and a power-folding third-row seat (Touring-L and Limited only). The 30th Anniversary package adds many of the Limited model's amenities to the Touring-L, along with special exterior badging.

We Recommend

We recommend the S trim. It is reasonably priced, and you can always add the required extra features. The car gets all the features of the Touring trim and more practical features that can help make your drive better. We also recommend getting the safety features of the Touring-L trim to make it a safer car.

The Town & Country has a single engine option on offer, a 3.6 L V6 which makes 283 hp @6,400 rpm and 260 lb.-ft @4,400 rpm and is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. We feel the 6-speed automatic transmission shifts are rough sometimes, especially on the lower gears. The Town & Country is a front-wheel-drive car. The minivan touches the 60 mph mark in 7.7 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 16.1 seconds.

The Chrysler returns decent numbers for a minivan. It has the shortest time for a quarter-mile, like the Honda Odyssey. The Mazda is the slowest at 8.2 seconds in the 0-60 time, however, the Mazda is a fast car and has the highest top speed of 123 mph. While Chrysler and Honda bring a bigger engine, the Mazda works with an engine that is smaller in displacement.

Chrysler does not offer any great economic figures as it returns 17 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. Combined, the minivan offers a mileage of 20 mpg, which is the least in the segment. However, Chrysler does not suffer on the range thanks to the 20-gallon tank, which results in a range of 340 miles in the city and 500 miles on the highway. We wish the engine would have been more refined and returned a better economy.

The Mazda5 returns the better mileage numbers of the 3 cars. However, its small 15.9-gallon tank limits its otherwise excellent range capabilities. The Honda stands second to Mazda in the fuel economy but gets past in the range due to its class-leading fuel tank capacity of 21 gallons. It has a massive range of nearly 400 miles in the city and 588 miles on the highway. The Odyssey is a clear choice if the economy is your top priority.

The car’s interior is well equipped no matter what trim you choose. At the base trim itself, you have leather-lined seats. The ambiance inside the car is unlike most minivans as it has a very luxurious vibe to it. It is very clean and pretty spacious. The seat comfort at the front seats is somewhat limited, especially in the legroom space, but otherwise, it's sufficient.

In the second and third row seats, the comfort is good, but it’s the seating posture can be a little troublesome. The cushions are deeply reclined, which makes it uncomfortable. Also, the headroom in the third row is less. The interior is really great, but there are a few material touches that do not go well with the rest of the interior. As a result, it feels like a hit and a miss.

You can easily fit 7 people in the Chrysler, comfortably. The front row of all the three vans provides similar spaces. All three cars are proportionally sized between the front and second rows, while the third row loses out on legroom in both Mazda and Chrysler. Honda is a long car, and this car turned out the best in interior comfort for our passengers.

When considering cargo capacity, Chrysler’s 33 cubic feet trunk is good enough for a family trip. The Honda beats all with a leading 38.4 cubic feet storage. The Mazda’s design as a 6-seater does a huge compromise on its trunk space, with only 5.9 cubic feet with all 3 rows of seats up. With the 3rd row folded, it offers 44.4 cubic feet of space. Some standout interior features on the Chrysler include:

• Cruise Control
• Rear-seat USB Charging ports
• Heated 1st and 2nd-row seats
• Front and rear reading lights
• Driver memory functions

How intuitive is the 2014 Chrysler Town & Country’s infotainment system?

The Chrysler’s infotainment system is packed and offers what we expect from it as a minivan. As standard, you get a DVD player and a six-speaker sound system with a CD/MP3 player, satellite radio, USB port, and an auxiliary audio jack. Other electronic features include Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, voice-command functionality, rear-seat USB charging ports, a 6.5-inch touchscreen, and 28 gigabytes of digital music storage. On higher trims, you get a rear-seat entertainment system that has an HDMI input and 2 flip-down screens, one for each row. Some standout infotainment features include:

• 6.5” touchscreen
• Navigation
• In-car wireless entertainment
• Satellite radio
• Six-speaker sound system

The 2014 Town & Country’s exterior does not stand out as it’s the same iteration from 2011 and is not that attractive anymore. It still has the tall van stance and looks very sturdy. The design of the Chrysler is shared with the 2014 Grand Caravan, but the Chrysler gets its own grille. We like the chrome accents on the car, it adds a grand look to the car. The windows are large and wide and offer a lot of view of the outside world. The car is well-proportioned from the front and the rear.

The Town & Country has the longest wheelbase. It is big on weight too. For such a heavy car, the ride and handling are not great. The Mazda is the lightest car and overall a small car. The width of the Honda Odyssey is the reason our passengers did not feel cramped in this minivan. Some noteworthy exterior features of the Town & Country are:

• Massive twin headlamps
• Alloy wheels
• Auto-dimming outside mirrors
• Power tailgate
• Sunroof

The Town & Country scored a 4-star rating in the crash tests conducted by the NHTSA. As standard, all trims come with antilock disc brakes, stability control, active front head restraints, front-seat side-impact airbags, a driver knee airbag, and full-length side curtain airbags. A rear-view camera is also standard. Blind-spot monitoring and a rear cross-path detection system are standard on the Touring-L and Limited. A safety option package includes parking sensors, a rear-view camera, and blind-spot monitors. Some standout safety specifications include:

• Blind-spot monitoring system
• Electronic Stability control
• Post Collision Safety system
• Passenger Airbag Occupant Sensing Deactivation
• Tire-Pressure Monitoring System

The 2014 Town & Country does fine but has a relative lack of refinement, although, this won’t matter to many of the minivan buyers. All those standard and available luxuries are appealing, and the van's signature feature – the Stow 'n Go seats – are exceptionally handy. Also, the Town & Country's V6 engine offers a decent mix of power and fuel economy, even if it's not as easy on the pocket as other minivans. We feel there are a lot of better options out there, but we do recommend you to take a test drive and consider this offering once.
