*PLEASE MESSAGE ON KIJIJI FIRST IF INTERESTED*
Based on a stretched version of the Sebring/Avenger platform, the Journey is a five-door, tall family wagon with a roomy seating for five.
This “flexible” seating package adds a 60/40 split, tilt-and-slide second-row seat.
It also has unique, user-friendly features that make the Journey especially appealing to families with young children. Clever storage places include removable cargo bins hidden in the floor and a concealed storage spot under the front passenger seat cushion.
All versions of the Journey come with a four-wheel, independent suspension with MacPherson struts in front and a multi-link system in the rear. Four wheel disc brakes with an anti-lock brake system, traction control, roll mitigation, electronic stability control and a tilt-telescopic steering column are standard on all models.
Journey features two engine-transaxle combinations to meet the needs of mid-size crossover buyers. A fuel-efficient, 2.4-litre four-cylinder World Engine mated to a four-speed automatic transaxle and a 3.5-litre V6 engine coupled with a six-speed automatic transaxle with Auto Stick.
The standard 2.4-litre is a World Engine (shared with Mitsubishi and Hyundai) that provides an estimated fuel economy of 11.0 L/100 kilometres in the city and 8.0 L/100 km on the highway. It produces 173 horsepower and 166 lb.-ft. of torque and is coupled with a four-speed automatic transaxle.
The Journey has a two-box general shape with conventional rear doors, instead of the sliders you find on a minivan. It’s a chiselled, edgy look with an attractive side body crease that links the headlights to the taillights.
High-strength steel is used in 36 per cent of the body and NVH is minimized by using a mastic bonded floor pan, injecting body cavities with polyurethane foam and triple-sealed doors. Dodge cleverly uses a lightweight composite liftgate to make this big door easier to lift.
In the five-passenger model, a tri-fold load floor behind the second-row seat has a hidden under-floor storage compartment. The load floor is also reversible and configures into what’s called a “grocery bag” position.
Dodge excels in its innovative in-vehicle storage. Behind the front-row seats are two covered in-floor storage bins that are designed to hold 12 pop cans plus ice. These bins have removable liners that are dishwasher safe. In addition to standard cloth on the SE model and optional YES Essentials, a stain-resistant, odour-resistant, anti-static seat fabric is offered and it’s standard on the SXT model. Leather upholstery is standard on the R/T model.
Safety
Dodge claims more than 30 advanced safety and security technologies are in the Journey. Topping the passive protection list are all-row side-curtain air bags with a rollover protection feature.
The Journey comes with a standard electronic stability control system that also has roll mitigation. An optional trailer-tow package also includes a Trailer Sway Control system that’s an off-shoot of ESC.
It’s no sports car, but the Dodge Journey handles better than a minivan and the ride is very comfortable.
The Journey’s all-wheel-drive is an on-demand system. It only drives the front wheels until power to the rear wheels is needed.
Its electronically controlled coupling also sends torque to the rear wheels when cornering at speeds over 40 km/h with an open throttle.
The Dodge Journey is an appealing, safe and very affordable multi-use vehicle that’s perfect for buyers with a young family.
