With the 2020 model year spelling the end of the Dodge Journey, now is the time to act if you want to drive a new one. Here is your guide to the Dodge Journey and what its recent incarnations have to offer.
Plenty of Space
One of the things the Dodge Journey does well is to offer an ample amount of space for your friends and family. The Journey is a three-row SUV that seats up to seven passengers. The second and third rows recline to allow a more comfortable riding experience for your passengers.
When you need more cargo space, the third and second rows fold flat to give you up to 67.6 cubic feet of cargo volume. You can also organize your items in the Journey’s clever storage areas, such as the in-floor compartment in the rear cargo area and the available in-floor cooler in the second row. This flexible space can be customized to better take on the day’s needs.
Sufficient Power
The 2020 model year’s Journey gets its muscle from a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that produces up to 173 horsepower and 166 pound-feet of torque. This engine works with a four-speed automatic transmission and comes standard with a front-wheel-drive system. If you step back to the 2019 model, you’ll have the option to upgrade to a 3.6-liter V-6 that can be upgraded with an all-wheel-drive system.
The 2020 Journey also comes equipped with performance features such as trailer sway control, electronic stability control, an anti-lock brake system, and electronic roll mitigation.
Modern Technology
The 2020 Journey gives you plenty of features to give more life to your drivers. The available 8.4-inch touch screen gives you access to the premium navigation system that will help you find your way through unfamiliar streets with live traffic information. The 3.5-inch digital screen in the driver information cluster is customizable to show you the information most important to you. The available premium sound system with six-channel performance and a 368-watt amp take your listening experience to the next level. For the kids, there’s the available rear entertainment system with a 9-inch screen that flips down from the ceiling.
Intelligent Safety Systems
Each Dodge Journey model after 2012 comes standard with a rear-view camera system. The 2020 Journey has guidance lines to help you guide your SUV into its parking spot. The ParkSense rear park assist system takes this up a notch by warning you when it detects something behind you as you reverse. The Journey also sports the usual tried-and-true passive safety feature, such as seven advanced airbags and active front-seat head restraints. The dual-phase steel in the Journey’s frame and crumple zones help lessen the impact of unavoidable collisions.
