Good Handling For A Small SUV, Seating For Up To Seven, Available All-wheel Drive, Powerful V6 Engine

The Journey is essentially unchanged from 2012. Minor improvements include the SE models getting 17-inch wheels, up from 16-inch last year.

The Dodge Journey competes in the crowded small SUV and crossover market. Offering a wide range of model choices, the Journey can be optioned up quite nicely despite its low base price. A more powerful than average V6 available makes it reasonably quick for this segment of vehicles.
