Introduced in 2008 for the 2009 model year, the Volkswagen Routan represented a highly strategic, though brief, corporate partnership between the German automaker and Chrysler. Recognizing the massive American demand for full-size family minivans, Volkswagen heavily rebadged and re-engineered the wildly popular Dodge Grand Caravan / Chrysler Town & Country platform (the RT architecture).
Volkswagen Routan: Family Adventures Await With Minivan Utility
The beating heart of this massive family minivan was a highly robust array of Chrysler-sourced powertrains. Early models were equipped with a dependable 3.8-liter V6 producing 197 horsepower, or a much stronger 4.0-liter V6 generating 251 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque. For the 2011 model year, the vehicle received a massive upgrade to the legendary 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, producing an incredibly robust 283 horsepower. Paired flawlessly with a heavy-duty six-speed automatic transmission, it delivered relentless, uninterrupted pulling power despite the vehicle's massive curb weight.
The Routan comfortably seated up to seven adult passengers across three luxurious rows, providing exceptional legroom for massive family road trips. Equipped properly from the factory, the heavy-duty chassis safely towed up to 3,600 pounds without breaking a sweat. Drivers deeply appreciated the advanced dual-screen Video Entertainment System (VES), which kept children perfectly occupied during long cross-country vacations.
