The Dodge Journey is a vehicle that earns its name thanks to a long list of features and options that make it perfect for long road trips with big families. With a standard three rows of seats, a comfortable interior, good tech features, and a strong highway performance, the 2018 Dodge Journey is a great pick for any family that enjoys road trips.
-
Power
The base model of the 2018 Journey starts with a four-cylinder engine that provides 173 horsepower. You can upgrade this to a V-6 engine, and with that under the hood, you can manage up to 283 horsepower. That’s a big power boost, and with its help, the Journey can tow up to 2,500 pounds behind it. The V-6 also gives you a very efficient design; while the I-4 engine offers 19 city and 25 highway mpg, the V-6 only drops that slightly, to 17 city and 25 highway mpg.
-
Handling
Front-wheel drive comes standard on every trim of the Journey, but you can upgrade any of them to all-wheel drive. AWD helps you maintain your traction if you find yourself on a snowy highway or a rainy mountain road, and it also comes in handy if you have to leave the pavement to find the perfect camping spot or reach a group outing. As a Dodge vehicle, the 2018 Journey is also good at handling tight corners, plus its suspension can absorb many of the bumps in the road so the passengers can stay comfortable.
-
Intelligent Navigation
With the right trim, the 2018 Dodge Journey can come with a useful navigation system that uses an 8.4-inch touch-screen display to show the map and clear directions for where to go next. It also comes with five complimentary years of SiriusXM’s Traffic and Travel Link. This feature updates in real time to warn you about traffic jams, and you can also use it to locate nearby attractions, movie showings, low gas prices, and more. You’ll also get a full year-long trial of SiriusXM radio.
-
Safety
An important part of any family vehicle is its safety features, and the 2018 Journey has plenty of those to offer as well. Every model comes standard with seven airbags, including a driver-side knee airbag, plus you get active front-seat headrests that jump forward to prevent neck injuries during rear-end collisions. The Journey also comes standard with the ParkView rear back-up camera that shows you what’s behind your bumper when you’re in reverse, and top trims get the ParkSense rear park assist system that warns you when something is right behind your SUV.
The 2018 Journey is smaller than the Dodge Durango, but it still offers plenty of interior space, a comfortable ride with strong handling, and a number of features that make it a great pick for anyone who wants to take the whole family out on the road. Whether your trip takes you down the highway or on a gravel road, you’ll get to your destination thanks to the fuel-efficient Dodge Journey.
