Dodge Journey is built on the same platform as the Chrysler Sebring. The front end styling of Journey is inherited from Dodge’s Avenger, a sedan. It is three-row mid-size crossover. The interior of Journey badly needs a better design. There are two variants of engine available, a 2.4 liter I-4 and a 3.5 liter V-6. Transmission options are 4-speed automatic and 6-speed automatic. The available models being SE, SXT and R/T. The new features in 2010 Dodge Journey compared to its older versions are nine-inch entertainment system screen, an “Eco” lamp is added to the gauge cluster, and active head restraints for front occupants and four-wheel anti-lock brakes become standard across the range. SXT and R/T models receive dual chromed exhaust tips. The interiors lack quality as well as design. The Journey SE’s 173 horsepower, 2.4-liter I-4 with 166 pound-feet of torque is mated to an ancient four-speed automatic that hampers performance and fuel economy when it tries to move this nearly two-ton crossover. The 235 horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 is fitted to a six-speed automatic, but lacks power compared to the competition. All Journey models come standard with front seat side airbags and front side-curtain airbags in addition to the mandatory dual-front airbags.
