    Dodge Journey still a value after improving connectivity and capability

    2017 Dodge Journey Crossroad Plus

    The 2017 Dodge Journey is the most affordable and most powerful three-row midsize crossover priced less than $30,000 U.S. Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (MSRP), the only crossover in the segment to offer the choice of four- or six-cylinder engines, five- or seven-passenger seating, and front or all-wheel drive.

    Journey continues to offer customers better value while delivering vehicle connectivity and customization with the available Uconnect 8.4-inch infotainment system.

    With standard fold-flat rear seats, second-row in-floor storage and optional front-passenger Flip 'N Stow in-seat storage, the Journey is a true utility infielder.

    The Dodge Journey has more than 40 available safety and security features and is America's most affordable seven-seat crossover. For 2017, the Dodge Journey is available in SE, SXT, Crossroad, Crossroad Plus, and GT trim levels.

    Capability

    Journey's available all-wheel drive system works on demand, driving only the front wheels until power to the rear wheels is needed to maximize fuel efficiency. All-wheel drive also is used on dry pavement between speeds of 25 and 65 mph to enhance handling during performance driving.

    The award-winning 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, available on SXT, Crossroad, and Crossroad Plus, and standard on GT and all-wheel drive models, produces 283 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque and is mated to a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission.

    Journey features a standard 2.4-liter 16-valve DOHC four-cylinder engine, which produces 173 horsepower and 166 lb.-ft. of torque, linked to a four-speed automatic transmission.

    Style

    Journey maintains sculpted, clean, aggressive lines and a front fascia that sports the signature Dodge brand "split crosshair" grille. Bold "ring of fire" LED tail lamps feature a distinctive style, while 19-inch aluminum wheels, standard on Crossroad, Crossroad Plus, and GT, provide a dramatic styling statement.

    Technology

    Featuring an available largest-in-class Uconnect 8.4-inch touchscreen, standard Keyless Enter 'n Go with push button start, and available heated steering wheel, Dodge Journey offers a slew of high-tech features at a price that is still affordable for families.

    Journey's Uconnect touchscreen command center offers navigation, voice command music selections, and the ability to check fuel prices. With its touchscreen display and user-friendly, touch-key categories, connecting and controlling personal devices is simple, intuitive, and customizable.
