2018 Dodge Journey Review

Three-row crossover SUVs are popular vehicles geared toward the family-oriented buyer. While there are many great choices in this segment, one of the most reliable and affordable options is the 2018 Dodge Journey, with its exceptional handling, ample space, and many creature comforts.

 Drivers in Lewisburg, Sunbury, and Danville can explore all that the 2018 Dodge Journey has to offer with our in-depth model review.

Journey's Performance

The base engine for the 2018 Dodge Journey is a 2.4L inline-four that produces 173 horsepower and 166 lb-ft of torque, mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. There's also a 3.6L V6 that produces 283 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.

With its hydraulic power steering and supple suspension, the Journey rides like a dream. It corners well, with minimal body roll, and holds its center at highway speeds. Either engine is powerful enough to move its considerable weight, though the V6 offers a sportier performance. Its all-wheel drive is also surefooted and capable in inclement weather, which is a welcome comfort in areas with harsh winters.

Dodge Journey Interior

Folding rows, an airy cabin, and ample space are the Journey's strong points, with plenty of adjustability and supportive seating for passenger comfort. The second-row bench slides for easy access, and to maximize the space for passengers of cargo, there's substantial head- and legroom at all positions. The high-quality upholstery and interior materials give the cabin an upscale feel.

For cargo space, the Journey offers 67.6 ft³ with both rows folded, and there are many cubbies and pockets to hold small items throughout the cabin. With the sliding bench seat, this space can easily be configured for awkward loads, or for a combination of passengers and cargo.

Features

There are four available trim levels for the 2018 Dodge Journey, each geared for maximum value and convenience.

 At its base level, the Journey comes with power accessories, a USB port, and a 4.3-inch touchscreen audio system. Available options include rear-seat child boosters, which are handy for the bench seats, Bluetooth® connectivity, and an appearance package with black alloy wheels.

Moving up the levels, there are other appearance upgrades, including power-adjustable seating, heated seating, satellite radio, an 8.4-inch infotainment system, a rear-seat entertainment system, navigation, a heated steering wheel, and a trailer tow prep package available, among other options. There's also a Driver Confidence Group for advanced safety features, which includes modern technology like a rearview camera and rear park assist.
