2003 Chrysler Town & Country Overview

Introduction

For some people, luxury means a deserted beach, a bottle of sunscreen, a new mystery novel, leaving everything behind.For others, luxury means traveling with all the comforts of home.If you fit in the latter category, if you're certain that luxury means never having to say, 'I'm sorry, but there isn't enough room to take that with us,' then Chrysler built the Town & Country for you.

With its responsive engine, smooth, quiet ride, upscale appointments and power accessories, the Chrysler Town & Country drives like a refined luxury vehicle.But it also offers seating for seven (available in leather, of course) and cavernous cargo space, so nothing (and no one) will ever have to be left behind.You can even order Town & Country with all-wheel-drive.How much more luxury can you stand?

Okay, some upmarket SUVs make similar claims.But the Town & Country does it without the excess weight and bulk.It even fits in your garage.You enjoy the same chair-height seating as your SUV-driving neighbors, but with a low, flat floor, so you don't need a ladder to climb in.And you don't need to be a Houdini to squeeze into the third-row seats, either.Once in, the Town & Country delivers better handling than most of those truck-based SUVs.And it costs less than most of them.

Chrysler last redesigned the Town & Country for 2001, and it remains among the best minivans on the market.The interior is versatile with seats that fold and remove.Powerful V6 engines deliver crisp performance.The ride is smooth and quiet.And it's wrapped in an attractive design.

For 2003, Chrysler has added standard equipment at most trim levels, an optional power sunroof, and three new option packages for the Town & Country LX.Power adjustable pedals are expected to be available late in 2003.
