2018 Dodge Journey Review

Continue reading and you’ll learn all about this SUV’s performance, technology, and interior dimensions!

Dodge Journey Performance Specs

The 2018 Dodge Journey has two available engine options. One is a 2.4-liter, 4-cylinder engine that produces 173 horsepower, and gets an EPA-estimated 19 City MPG/ 25 Highway MPG.

Alternatively, you can go with a 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 engine that produces 283 horsepower and also gets an EPA-estimated 19 City MPG/ 25 Highway MPG.

For a noticeably smooth transition between gears, both options are paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Also, the 2018 Dodge Journey towing capacity is immense, as it can easily handle up to 2,500 pounds. And, with the Standard Trailer Sway Damping feature, you’ll retain better control in slick conditions.

Finally, the available All-Wheel Drive will help add traction regardless of weather conditions. Even if your wheels begin to slip, this system will transfer power to the rear tires for better handling.

Dodge Journey Versatility & Storage Space

Extra space in the cabin for seating and storage is always appreciated, and the 2018 Dodge Journey is both versatile and accommodating.

The 2018 Journey comes with standard seating for seven passengers. If you need room to fit a bunch of gear, you can just fold down the second and third row seats and you’ll find 67.6 cu ft. of cargo room.

Or, if you’re looking to fit both the kids and cargo, you’ll have 37 cu ft. of space with just the third row down, and 10.7 cu ft. of space with every row in the upright position. The Journey also has a rare benefit, as the front passenger seat folds down completely, helping you fit those longer items.

Beyond this expansive storage space, you’ll find helpful little compartments all around the cabin. Take, for instance, a pair of second row, in-floor storage bins that can fit anything from bags to drinks comfortably.

Technology & Infotainment

To help keep you entertained, and safe, the 2018 Dodge Journey has implemented some very useful technology features.

First, the available Uconnect® Voice Command with Bluetooth® is a tremendous addition. With this feature, you’ll be able to sync your smartphone with your SUV, and then you can access apps or music simply by using your voice. If you’d prefer not to use your voice, you can always just use the available 8.4-inch touchscreen located on the dashboard.

To help keep you and your passengers protected, the Journey has features like Parksense® Rear Park Assist and a Parkview® Rear Back-Up Camera.

With the back-up camera, you’ll be able to see obstacles that may be blocking the rear of your Journey. Additionally, the Parksense® Rear Park Assist uses sensors to detect how far you are from objects, and alerts you if you’re about to hit something while reversing.
