The Dodge Journey is a car with SUV proportions of large dimensions. The first units arrive to dealers in Spain in late May. It measures 4888 mm long and 1701 mm in height. Ie has a size close to those of a BMW X5 or a Renault Grand Espace, and is clearly larger than the Dodge Nitro (4,584 mm).
The versions that come to Europe are not intended for use by field, it may not have traction (in other markets themselves). Field for use by vehicles of that size is more suitable as a Land Rover Discovery, Mitsubishi Montero or Toyota Land Cruiser.
Sold with 5 or 7 seats, although Chrysler expects that almost all units are sold in Spain, 7. As a family vehicle, 7 seats, by size and price is comparable to the Kia Carnival, the Ford Galaxy or Renault Grand Espace. Here you can see the features of all carriers, from 4.75 to 5 m in length and less than € 40,000, sold in Spain.
Carriers of the size of the Journey, there is none that is cheaper with the same equipment: the Mitsubishi Grandis and the Kia Carnival is cheaper, but do not have stability control available, that the Journey is standard on all versions.
In Spain, at least in principle, it is only going to sell the diesel version of the Journey. The engine is the 2.0 liter 140 hp Volkswagen Group's injection pump-injector and particulate filter fitted as other Chrysler models.
The Dodge Journey is available with equipment SE, SXT and RT. The basic version, SE, can be ordered with five seats (26,467 €) or seven (27,913 €). In the case of large families, in addition to the 50% discount on registration duty under the law, another 8% Dodge reduction in the price of the car. In Spain, finished the SXT and RT have 7 seats. The 5-seat version has air conditioning and all versions of 7 seats have three-zone climate control with air outlets in the second and third rows. More impressions of the interior.
All versions have stability control as standard with a feature that limits the likelihood of a rollover and the other was responsible for stabilizing the trailer. It also has standard side airbags and front seat occupants and curtain for all outboard seats, a control system for tire pressure which also takes into account the spare (which has a wheel of emergency and, So is swollen to more pressure) and CD radio with 6 disc charger compatible with the MP3 format, among other things.
Depending on the finishing options can be ordered as a rear camera to facilitate parking maneuvers (image), an entertainment system for rear seats (8-screen and DVD player, image) or a browser to display color 7. The seats can be heated and the upholstery can be fabric or leather. Sheets of all equipment versions.
Series, the Journey has a 6-speed manual transmission. At the end of 2008 will be available an automatic dual-clutch manufactured by Getrag (same company that has developed with the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution), which will also be available on other models of the manufacturer, the Chrysler Sebring.
We conducted a Dodge Journey RT for two-way roads and highways, has a touch more like a tourist than a traditional minivan or an SUV. The location is too vague to be soft and twisty roads, and the suspension is comfortable and makes the body rolls over.
The automatic gearbox is especially soft. The Volkswagen DSG box (S-Tronic in Audi), which also has a double clutch, much more sharply because almost no slippage. The Dodge Journey is the much smoother, and especially in the starters is hard to see the slip clutch. This has the disadvantage of being less efficient in terms of performance and consumption, but the advantage that no one should be very careful with the throttle to move slightly, as in cars with DSG.
In a gentle pace to walk between 70 and 120 km / h, the computer of a journey marked consumption of 7.3 l/100km.
We will conduct more detailed impressions when you try to fund this car because, due to the conditions and duration of the trip we made with him, we can not say much more.
The Dodge Journey is produced at the plant in Toluca (Mexico).

I loved your article. I think, 2009 Dodge Journey is chick & good pick with 0 to 60 mph in an unremarkable 9.2 seconds, 173 horse power and 166 pound feet of torque & my personal favorites like remote engine start system & steering wheel with integrated audio controls. I wanted better brakes, though. To find out more details, check out: dodge journey
