![]() ![]() The standard 2.4-liter inline-four engine is underpowered for the Journey’s relatively heavy two-ton weight, and is loud under acceleration without pulling very hard. The smooth ride makes up for the underpowered engine. The Crossroad trim gets a much bigger 8.4-inch touchscreen (over the 4.3-inch screen in base models), that dominates an otherwise austere dash. As expected, there are plenty of plastics and budget materials, but it’s inoffensive and fully serviceable. The Journey’s interior is clean but lacks excitement. ![]() The Crossroad’s large 19-inch painted aluminum wheels and body-colored trim are quite handsome and help bump the vehicle’s looks in a positive direction. In the SE Value, the anonymous look is completed with hubcapped wheels and black plastic trim pieces, but higher trims get a healthy dose of chrome and upscale-looking features. ![]() The Journey shares the brand family styling and resembles a three-quarter-scale Dodge Grand Caravan from many angles. That leaves the 172-horsepower front-wheel-drive 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine paired to a four-speed automatic transmission as the sole powertrain. Dodge also made adjustments under the hood, dumping the all-wheel-drive 3.6-liter V6 engine and six-speed automatic transmission. The automaker cropped the number of trims four to two for 2020, leaving just the SE Value and Crossroad. Rumors that Dodge will kill off its Journey three-row SUV have been circulating for years, but at last check, it’s alive and kicking. The classic lines have remained the same over the years. ![]()
