Dodge Journey 2014


With room for five to seven passengers, Dodge pitches the Journey as the "most affordable" crossover SUV on sale today. It certainly offers a lot of content. The base Journey AVP already starts with 17-inch steel wheels, stability control, seven airbags, a 4.3-inch Uconnect Media Center, and soft-touch interior. Higher trims include the SE, which brings roof rails, LED taillights, and tinted glass. Next, there's the SXT, moving the Journey onto 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels and tucking an array of features like foglights, restyled front and rear bumpers, optional all-wheel drive, available 8.4-inch touch-screen Uconnect Media Center, and front and rear floor mats into the fold. Then, there's the Crew model, endowed with a leather interior, heated seats and steering wheel, flat-folding front passenger seat, remote start, and more. Finally, there's the top-of-the-line R/T, equipped with a sport-tuned suspension, a six-speaker premium sound system, and carbon-colored 19-inch wheels. The base engine is a 173-horsepower 2.4-liter I-4, but it's noteworthy that the Journey's fuel economy doesn't take a big hit when the optional 283-hp 3.6-liter V-6 is selected. At its worst, a V-6-powered Journey with optional all-wheel drive is rated 16/24 mpg city/highway. Properly equipped, the Journey can tow up to 2500 pounds.
