In terms of space, you can’t go wrong with the three-row seating configuration that is optional on the Dodge Journey. Overall, the styling of the Dodge Journey Crossroad is pretty beefy, which gives it a rare advantage among its contemporaries.Īs much as the Journey’s exterior design looks to break from the traditional crossover appearance, the interior is exactly what buyers should expect in this class: lots of room and lots of quirky features.
The aggressive new look was finished off on this tester with the bright Redline Red 2-coat Pearl paint job. This appearance package gives the Journey a more rugged, SUV-like look by adding “Platinum Chrome” trim around the lower edges of the body including the faux push bumper look up front, the skid-plate-like rear fascia as well as the rocker panels and roof rack rails.Īdding even more to the Crossroad’s styling, these trim pieces are accented by a blacked-out crosshair grille, Hyper Black 19-inch wheels (exclusive to this model) and smoked headlights and taillights. The good news, though, is that with the introduction of the Dodge Journey Crossroad last year, Dodge has finally given crossover buyers a reason to cross-shop the Journey aside from its low pricing.
#2015 DODGE JOURNEY UPDATE#
Dodge did its best to update the Journey back in 2011 with a slightly more cohesive design to go along with its updated interior and powertrain (more on that later), but the Journey’s overall styling isn’t too far removed from the design that was introduced seven years ago. As a big proponent of boxy SUVs and crossovers, I’ve always wanted to love the styling of the Dodge Journey, but it is hard to get past the anonymity of this design.
On one hand, the K-car platform helped pull Chrysler from a bankruptcy in the early 1980s, while the GS platform helped drive it into its next bankruptcy.And it wasn’t just the platform and drivetrain that plagued the early Journey. In the grand scheme of things, it’s rather ironic that the modern era of Chrysler is defined by two vehicle platforms.
