This was upgraded to Chrysler's own 150 hp 3.3 L EGA V6, shared with its Dodge and Plymouth counterparts and the larger Chrysler sedans, as a running change in the summer of 1989. The Town & Country originally featured the 142 hp 3.0L Mitsubishi 6G72 V6 used across Chrysler's model line. Sharing its body with the Dodge Grand Caravan and Plymouth Grand Voyager, the 1990 Town & Country adopted the Chrysler S platform. While its 1982–1988 namesake was a station wagon counterpart of the LeBaron sedan, the Town & Country minivan was now equipped in line with larger Chrysler sedans, including the New Yorker Landau and Fifth Avenue. Alongside the retirement of the Chrysler K-Car station wagon, the release of the Town & Country minivan coincided with the introduction of higher-end vehicles in the segment such as the Oldsmobile Silhouette and later the Mercury Villager. The delay would lead to the first time since 1945 that Chrysler did not offer any version of the Town & Country (having sold the model line as a station wagon for 48 years). Originally slated for a 1989 model-year release, the Chrysler Town & Country minivan was introduced in the spring of 1989 as an early 1990 model (before marketing began of the 1990 Dodge and Plymouth counterparts). The first three generations of the minivan were produced by Chrysler in Fenton, Missouri ( Saint Louis Assembly) the fourth generation was also produced in Taiwan by China Motor Corporation in Yangmei District, Taoyuan while the fourth and fifth generations were also produced by Chrysler Canada in Windsor, Ontario ( Windsor Assembly). Produced nearly continuously for 75 years, the Town & Country nameplate is the longest-produced Chrysler nameplate and is second only to the Chevrolet Suburban in worldwide automotive history. At the time the Town & Country was withdrawn, Chrysler marked the sale of its 12 millionth minivans (combined under three nameplates). Five generations of the model line were produced, with the Town & Country positioned as the flagship luxury minivan trim package, slotted above the extended wheelbase Dodge Grand Caravan and Plymouth Grand Voyager.Īfter the 2016 model year, Chrysler retired the Town & Country nameplate for Chrysler-division minivans, with the sixth-generation 2017 vehicles adopting the Chrysler Pacifica nameplate. The third of the Chrysler minivans introduced, the 1990 Town & Country shared its nameplate with the flagship Chrysler station wagon produced from 1941 to 1988.
The Chrysler Town & Country is a minivan that was manufactured and marketed by Chrysler from 1990 to the 2016 model years.
