2009 Dodge Journey Unknown

Here's Dodge's version of the mid-size crossover. The Journey excels on the inside, where the influence of Chrysler's minivans is unmistakable. From the Flip 'n Stow storage compartment under the front passenger seat to the Chill Zone glove-box beverage cooler, the Journey is loaded with clever, well-conceived minivan-style conveniences. The overall impression is of a bright, spacious, straightforward family hauler. The Journey will accommodate as many as seven occupants in comfort; second- and third-row seats feature reclining backs, and the second-row seats also slide fore and aft, allowing parents to scoot small children closer to the front seats. Access to the third-row seats is a breeze, easily accomplished by older kids, with only an easy pull of a lever required to operate the second-row seats' tilt-and-slide mechanism. There's also obvious influence from Chrysler's minivans, as the Journey's interior is awash in cup-holders, lidded storage bins and cubbyholes, including tubs beneath the second-row floor and an ingenious compartment beneath the front passenger seat. Maximum cargo capacity is 67.6 cubic feet. The Journey SE comes with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine rated for 173 horsepower and 166 pound-feet of torque. It drives the front wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission.SE features include 16-inch steel wheels, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, air-conditioning, a six-speaker stereo with a six-disc CD/MP3 changer, and full power accessories. With your safety in mind, every 2009 Journey includes anti-lock disc brakes, traction control, rollover-sensing stability control, front-seat side airbags and side curtain airbags for all three rows. Overall, the 2009 Dodge Journey gets the basics right -- it's attractive, quiet and spacious. And you can count on the Dodge to give it all an upscale feel.
