2020 Dodge Journey Model Review - Scottsdale, AZ

What's New For the 2020 Dodge Journey?

For the latest model year, the Dodge Journey is all about value. The trim lineup has been reduced this year, leaving consumers with the two options of the SE Value Package and the Journey Crossroad. Dodge's goal in making the change, the company says, is to provide consumers with maximal value regardless of whether they want a base-level trim or a higher-end trim. Connectivity is a notable feature of the Dodge Journey, which is offered with an 8.4-inch infotainment display screen.

The larger screen is more user-friendly for customers, and it is also the largest screen size offered in the Journey's class. The Journey is the only SUV in its class to offer a seven-seat configuration for occupants, too. Versatility and space are notable features in the cabin, which has a fold-flat design for the second and third rows of seats. Additional storage compartments and accessories are available to make room for people or belongings as you wish. On the outside, the Journey features a chiseled, sculpted exterior with a sporty design and elegant touches. A signature Dodge split-crosshair grille is a highlight of both trim levels.

2020 Dodge Journey Has Abundant Features

The 2020 Dodge Journey is available in two trim levels. The base trim is called the SE Value Package. True to its name, it does indeed offer plenty of value to consumers. The SE Value comes standard with a backup camera to help you maneuver safely in reverse. Premium cloth seats made in a comfortable bucket-style design ensure comfort on even the longest journeys. Dual-zone climate control is a standard feature, and there are three standard 12V power charging outlets. The base trim also has multi-way adjustable front seats. An electronic vehicle information center and a 4.3-inch touchscreen display are notable technology additions to the base trim.

Dodge Journey offers more standard and available amenities. An available feature is the class-leading 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment display screen. This advanced system features navigation, voice control, and other technologies. If storing and organizing is a priority, you'll be glad to know that this trim has removable storage bins that can stow or conceal your precious belongings. On the outside, the Journey features bold LED lighting all-around and larger standard 19-inch wheels. Seven paint colors are available on both trims for a personalized appearance. The base trim offers two interior colors, while a black interior is standard on the top trim.

Dodge Journey Performance

The 2020 Dodge Journey has the same engine on both trim levels. This engine is a 2.4L with four cylinders. Its maximum power capacity is 172 HP and 165 LB-FT of torque. The engine comes with an automatic four-speed transmission. Front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive are your drivetrain options this year.

2020 Journey Safety in the Forefront

In 2020, the Dodge Journey is offered with 40 safety and security features. Some are standard, while others are available as individual add-on amenities or through packages. A backup camera is standard on the Journey this year. It also has multi-stage airbags to offer maximal protection and safety in case of a crash. Brake assist, traction control, and electronic roll mitigation are other notable safety features.
