2019 Dodge Journey Model Review

What's New For The 2019 Dodge Journey

The battle of the crossover SUV wages on, and Dodge is right in the thick of it. For 2019, the all-new Dodge Journey is family-friendly, practical and affordable. Unlike some of the other major automotive brands, Dodge is bringing forth a few new changes. Great value can be found at every level, especially when it comes to trim levels. This vehicle will include three-zone temperature control, new fog lights, new LED tail lights and heated mirrors. Exterior colors come in olive green, blood orange, redline, destroyer gray and more. From an appearance standpoint, the new Journey can compete with any other SUV in its class.

Which Trims & Features are Available on the 2019 Journey?

The 2019 Dodge Journey has dropped its SXT model from the lineup. The remaining trims, include the SE, the GT and the Crossroad. Right off the bat, consumers will notice the vehicle's improved aggressive look thanks to the new performance-rear fascia. The higher priced models can come with a Blacktop Appearance Package. This package comes with roof rails as well as a gloss-black grille. On the other hand, this package will deliver 19-inch, gloss-black aluminum wheels.

The UConnect infotainment center is one of the SUV's showpieces, and it's 8.4 inches in size. Of course, this infotainment center is touchscreen enabled. The 2019 Journey is very user-friendly as it certainly caters to its driver. Drivers can say goodbye to keys thanks to the vehicle's push-start button. If you happen to need more space, then this vehicle offers 67.6 cubic-feet of cargo space. This is made possible by the flat-fold seating of the second and third row. For those who want to connect peripheral devices such as iPads and MP3 players, this SUV will offer multiple USB ports. Bluetooth® service can also be found here.

Dodge Journey Possesses Great Power and Superb Performance

The 2019 Dodge Journey will come equipped with two engine types. The Crossroad and SE models will host a 2.4-liter engine that produces up to 173 horsepower. It takes 7.8 seconds to go from zero to 60 mph. Drivers will also receive at least 166 pound-feet of torque from this four-cylinder engine. The 2019 Journey will also come equipped with a 3.6-liter V6 engine that produces 283 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. If you would like to possess this extra power, then just know that the V6 engine is available on all trims.

What are the Must-Have Safety Features?

Dodge does a wonderful job of incorporating plenty of airbags into this frame. These are front-impact, knee, side-impact and overhead airbags. If the correct manufacturer key isn't used to start the vehicle, then the ignition-disable device will prevent the SUV from starting. There are anti-whiplash head restraints here as well as anti-lock brakes.
