As part of <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/chrysler">Chrysler</a>'s giant product onslaught for the 2011 model year, The Pentastar has released new R/T trim levels of both the <a href="http://autoblog.com/tag/grand+caravan">Dodge Grand Caravan</a> and <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/journey">Journey</a> crossover. Both models make their debut at the <a href="http://autoblog.com/category/chicago-auto-show">Chicago Auto Show</a> this week, and while there aren't any big power boosts, the spruced up exterior and interior designs speak of sportiness.<br />
<br />
Both the Grand Caravan and Journey R/T use Chrysler's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, pumping out 283 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, mated exclusively to a six-speed automatic transmission. The minivan is only available with front-wheel drive, though an all-wheel-drive variant of the Journey R/T is available.<br />
<br />
Outside, the Grand Caravan R/T gets new appearance tweaks like a "dipped" body-colored grille, body-colored side moldings and a new set of 17-inch alloy wheels. Likewise, the Journey R/T features the same sort of exterior treatment, but rides on larger 19-inch aluminum wheels with a satin carbon finish. Inside, both vehicles benefit from upgrades like black seats with red contrast stitching throughout, as well as the latest in Chrysler connectivity and infotainment.<br />
<br />
The 2011 Grand Caravan R/T and Journey R/T will arrive at dealerships this Spring, priced from $30,595 and $28,995, respectively. Opting for the all-wheel-drive Journey R/T will set you back $30,695, and you can read the full suite of details in the automaker's press release, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/09/2011-dodge-grand-caravan-rt-2011-dodge-journey-rt-chicago-2011/#continued">after the jump</a>.<br />
