What’s New: The Journey is like an oldies radio station that you listen to because you know all the words to the songs. For this review, we sampled an AWD Crossroad V-6 model. All-wheel-drive models and the front-drive GT come with a 283-hp 3.6-liter V-6 bolted to a six-speed automatic. A 173-hp 2.4-liter inline-four with a four-speed automatic transmission (there’s a sign of how old it is-only four ratios!) is standard on all front-drive Journeys except the GT. The Journey comes in base SE, mainstream SXT, stylish Crossroad, and well-equipped GT trims. And it offers some interesting storage solutions not often found in competitors’ vehicles. So it drives more like a slightly taller wagon or hatchback than a hulking SUV handling is competent but certainly not inspiring. It’s nearly eight inches shorter and almost 1000 pounds lighter than Dodge’s other offering in this space, the Durango. The mid-size crossover is an ideal size for many, not too big or too small.
It packs a lot of standard features for not a lot of money. The Journey’s long suit isn’t refinement but bang for the buck. Now, under Fiat Chrysler’s stewardship, it’s the second-best-selling Dodge, behind only the soon-to-be-discontinued Grand Caravan minivan. Built on the bones of the Dodge Avenger mid-size sedan and developed in the waning days of DaimlerChrysler, the Dodge Journey survived the cuts during the Cerberus era prior to Chrysler’s 2009 bankruptcy. Overview: With a constant flow of new or completely revised crossovers pouring into the market on a regular basis, it’s hard to imagine one that’s now entering its ninth model year without any significant changes.
