2018 Dodge Journey Overview

Is the 2018 dodge journey a good used suv.

The 2018 Dodge Journey is not a great midsize SUV . While it has a few appealing traits, its negatives outweigh its positives.

The 2018 Journey does have a few strengths:

• Uconnect infotainment system is easy to use
• Rides gently over most surfaces
• Lower ownership costs than some class rivals

But it has several drawbacks:

• Less cargo room than many rivals
• Lower safety scores and fewer safety features than most rivals
• Lowest possible predicted reliability rating
• Excessive body lean makes this vehicle feel unwieldy at times
• Lethargic engines

Is It Better to Buy a Used or New Journey?

Read about the new Journey »

Dodge redesigned the Journey for the 2009 model year, and this SUV hasn’t seen any major changes since 2011. Many of the updates since then have consisted of reshuffling trims. For example, Dodge cut the AVP and Limited trims for 2016 and introduced the Crossroad Plus. For 2017, the GT replaced the R/T, and for 2018, Dodge narrowed the lineup to four trim levels and made a third-row seat standard.

Which Used Dodge Journey Trim Is Right for Me?

The Journey is available in four trim levels: SE, SXT, Crossroad, and GT. A four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive come standard in the three lower trims. A more capable V6 engine and all-wheel drive are available in every trim except the top-of-the-line GT, where they come standard.

The base Journey SE is sparsely equipped for a midsize SUV . Not even Bluetooth comes standard. The SXT doesn’t add much in the way of features. The Crossroad adds a larger infotainment screen and a little more interior versatility. In addition to the V6 engine and all-wheel drive mentioned above, the GT trim has a sport-tuned suspension and several of the comfort features available in the Crossroad trim.

The Crossroad is the best bet for most shoppers because it's the lowest trim available with several comfort, convenience, and active safety features. Just be aware that you'll need to shop for the specific features you want.

• Dodge Journey SE: The entry-level Journey SE has a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, a four-speed automatic transmission, the Uconnect infotainment system, a 4.3-inch touch screen, a USB port, a six-speaker stereo, proximity keyless entry, and push-button start. Available options include Bluetooth, satellite radio, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
• Dodge Journey SXT: The Dodge Journey SXT adds no standard features to the SE’s equipment list, but you may find SXTs with features that weren't offered in the base trim, such as a power-adjustable driver’s seat and a fold-flat front passenger seat.
• Dodge Journey Crossroad: The Dodge Journey Crossroad has an 8.4-inch touch screen, dual-zone automatic climate control, and all the options listed above. You may also find Crossroad models equipped with tri-zone automatic climate control, remote start, heated front seats, leather seats, a heated steering wheel, a navigation system, a rear-seat entertainment system with a 9-inch screen, a sunroof, rear parking sensors, and a rearview camera. When new, the Crossroad was the lowest trim to offer these options.
• Dodge Journey GT: The Journey GT features a V6 engine, a six-speed automatic transmission, all-wheel drive, a high-performance suspension, remote start, leather upholstery, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a six-speaker premium stereo. Many of the same options from the Crossroad are available in the GT.

What Does Dodge's Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Cover?

Dodge offers a certified pre-owned program for vehicles six years old or less and with fewer than 65,000 miles. Eligibility is determined by the vehicle’s initial sale date. For its certified pre-owned vehicles, Dodge offers a five-year/100,000-mile maximum care limited warranty. Additional benefits are available, including a 90-day satellite radio trial subscription, a Carfax vehicle history report, 24-hour towing and roadside assistance and a car rental allowance. There are mileage and model restrictions too. 

Dodge has one of the weaker CPO warranties among affordable carmakers, according to our analysis. Rivals such as Kia, Hyundai, Chevy, Ford and Honda are all better.

See the best CPO programs »

Extended Warranties for Dodge Cars and SUVs

Not every used Dodge will qualify for a certified pre-owned warranty. However, there are options available if you want additional coverage after the manufacturer’s warranty has expired.

2018 Dodge Journey Versus the Competition

Which is better: 2018 dodge journey or 2018 hyundai santa fe.

The 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe is a great midsize SUV . It’s available in two body types: the two-row Sport and the three-row Santa Fe. Both body styles have more cargo space than the Journey. The Santa Fe also has higher safety scores, a better predicted reliability rating, more standard features, and available Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Its available engine options are energetic, and it has a more composed ride. The Hyundai is the superior choice.

Which Is Better: 2018 Dodge Journey or 2018 Kia Sorento?

The 2018 Kia Sorento is another great choice. It has an elegant cabin, good safety and predicted reliability ratings, strong engine options, and a coddling ride. The Sorento has more cargo space than the Dodge too. Compared to the Sorento, the Journey will save you around $3,000 on average, and it has standard third-row seating – an option in the Sorento. Still, if you have a little leeway in your budget, the Kia is the superior choice.

Compare the Journey, Santa Fe, and Sorento »

2018 Journey Performance

How does the 2018 journey drive.

The base engine struggles at highway speeds and when the Journey is loaded with passengers and cargo. It’s also noisy, and the four-speed automatic transmission makes poorly timed shifts. The V6 fares better, but not by much. Models equipped with the V6 engine still deliver sluggish acceleration.

This crossover SUV drives like a larger vehicle, with lots of body lean. It’s capable of handling winding roads, though, and its suspension does a good job smoothing over road flaws.

• Base engine: 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 173 horsepower and 166 pound-feet of torque
• Available engines: 3.6-liter V6 with 283 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque
• Drivetrain: standard front-wheel drive; available all-wheel drive
• Transmission: standard four-speed automatic; available six-speed automatic (with V6)

Does the 2018 Journey Get Good Gas Mileage?

The base four-cylinder engine returns typical fuel economy estimates for the class.

• 2.4-liter: 19/25 mpg city/highway
• 3.6-liter, FWD: 17/25 mpg
• 3.6-liter, AWD: 16/24 mpg

2018 Dodge Journey Towing Capacity

When properly equipped, the Journey can tow up to 2,500 pounds.

2018 Journey Interior

How many people does the 2018 journey seat.

The Journey seats seven people in three rows. The front seats are supportive and comfortable, and the second-row seats have ample head- and legroom for most adults. Space in the third row is tight; these seats are best left for kids. The cabin has an upscale look and feel, with lots of soft-touch surfaces.

Standard seating features:

• cloth seats

Available seating features:

• leather seats
• heated front seats
• power-adjustable driver’s seat
• power-folding front passenger seat
• heated steering wheel

How Many Child Car Seats Fit in the 2018 Journey?

For securing child car seats, this SUV has two complete sets of LATCH connectors on the outboard second-row seats. There’s also a third tether anchor and a single lower anchor for the second row's rear middle seat, and another lower anchor can be borrowed from the second-row passenger-side seat. The whole setup received a second-worst Marginal rating for ease of use from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety because the tether anchors are hard to find and can be easily confused for other hardware.

2018 Dodge Journey Features

Prominent in any Fiat, Chrysler, Jeep, or Dodge vehicle, the Uconnect infotainment system draws praise for being exceptionally easy to use. The larger touch screen has crisp graphics and responds quickly to inputs. However, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are unavailable.

• Standard infotainment features: Uconnect infotainment system with a 4.3-inch touch screen, a USB port, and a six-speaker stereo
• Available infotainment features: an 8.4-inch touch screen, a navigation system, a rear-seat DVD player with a 9-inch screen, Bluetooth, and satellite radio
• Additional standard features: push-button start and proximity keyless entry
• Other available features: dual-zone automatic climate control, tri-zone automatic climate control, remote start, and a sunroof

2018 Dodge Journey Dimensions

Dodge journey cargo space.

The Journey has 10.7 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats, 37 cubic feet behind the second row, and 67.6 cubic feet behind the front row.

Most other midsize crossovers, such as the 2018 Dodge Durango , have more cargo room. Even some compact SUVs , like the 2018 Toyota RAV4 , have more room. Additionally, the high liftover height makes it difficult to load heavier items. On the plus side, the fold-flat front passenger seat makes it easier to store longer items.

These cargo dimensions are for comparative purposes. There is no substitute for visually examining the storage area in any car you’re considering.

2018 Dodge Journey Length and Weight

• Length: 16 feet
• Curb weight: 3,818 to 4,238 pounds
• Gross vehicle weight rating: 5,250 to 5,600 pounds

How many passengers can fit in the Dodge Journey?

Previously, the Dodge Journey offered standard seating for five passengers and an optional third-row seat that boosted passenger capacity on equipped models. While this added a lot of customization opportunities for drivers, it also created some confusion about just how many passengers could fit in each configuration. For the 2018 model year, Dodge has streamlined the buying process by making the third-row seat standard on all trim levels. Find the current seating capacity and cargo space specs for the 2018 Dodge Journey below.

2018 Dodge Journey Seating Capacity and Cargo Space

Standard third-row seats.

Every trim of the 2018 Dodge Journey comes equipped with standard third-row seats which allows seating for up to seven total passengers when all seats are upright. Adult passengers should have no trouble getting comfortable in the first two rows of seats and the third row is perfect for kids. For families with multiple children or extended family members, third-row seats offer the flexibility to accommodate everyone comfortably during outings. Whether it’s a trip to the zoo, a family vacation, or attending events, having extra seating ensures that no one gets left behind.

Cargo Space Volume

When all three rows of seats are upright, drivers will have access to 10.7 cubic feet of cargo space storage which is plenty of room for storing groceries and daily belongings. When more space is needed for larger items, the second and third-row seats can be folded flat to reveal up to 67.6 cubic feet of space.

This expansive space is ideal for transporting large and bulky items such as furniture, sporting equipment, or home improvement supplies. Whether embarking on a family road trip, moving to a new residence, or engaging in outdoor activities, this cargo space ensures the flexibility to accommodate various needs.

[ Read More: What is Apple CarPlay and how does it work? ]

Smoke from Russian fires blankets Moscow

By Peikko August 6, 2010 in Off Topic

Emergency officials said they were beginning to tame the fires which have spread across western and central Russia , but the capital woke to its worst bout of pollution yet after smog that dispersed yesterday returned with a vengeance.

Famous landmarks like the Ostankino television tower and St Basil's cathedral were reduced to outlines and the sun was a pale yellow orb. Visibility was down to 50 metres in some areas as coils of pungent smoke threaded into apartment buildings, offices and metro stations. Dozens of flights were cancelled at Domodedovo and Vnukovo airports in the south of the city.

Doctors advised Muscovites to stay home as the Department of Nature Protection and Environmental Management warned that carbon monoxide in the air was at five times acceptable levels.

Many of those who did venture out wore masks or clutched handkerchiefs to their faces. "It's unbearable, God knows what it's doing to our health," said Yulia Novikova, 25, who was hurrying home with groceries in Frunzenskaya district near the Moscow river. "I was just reading about the Great Smog of London in 1952. This looks a lot worse."

Vladimir Stepanov of the National Crisis Management Centre said fires were abating in the Urals and in the Volga region, but the situation remained tense around Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod. "Firefighters and rescuers did not let the fires approach populated areas," he said. "Not a single person has died over the past 24 hours."

The wildfires have so far claimed 50 lives and left more than 3,000 people homeless, prompting criticism of the official response to the crisis.

Earlier this week the prime minister, Vladimir Putin, promised he would personally monitor the reconstruction of destroyed homes via video images beamed to his home. State television showed the cameras being installed at building sites today.

Government officials said they could not have anticipated the heatwave that provoked the fires, the hottest in 140 years. The temperature in Moscow was above 36C all week. But critics have blamed complacent officials for ignoring warnings of blazes near villages.

United Russia, the pro-Kremlin party which dominates parliament, has boasted of sending volunteers to help extinguish the fires. But that claim was thrown into doubt yesterday when the party was accused of doctoring a photograph placed on its website.

A sharp-eyed blogger noticed that the picture showing volunteers apparently wrestling with a piece of timber in a smoky wood had been created in 2008 and altered in Photoshop last Saturday. The smoke, he claimed, had been added for effect.

United Russia immediately removed the picture but did not respond to requests for comment.

When I visited my inlaws in the Chita region of Siberia in summer 2009 there were numerous forest fires raging there. They told me it was an annual event and that the magnitude depended on how wet the summer was. We drove down roads on the way to my wife's home village with flames burning along both sides of the road. Kind of spooky. Not to mention the irritation to the respiratory system. Some days the wind blew the smoke away from us and other days the haze was unbearable.

"Credibility in immigration policy can be summed up in one sentence: Those who should get in, get in; those who should be kept out, are kept out; and those who should not be here will be required to leave."

"...for the system to be credible, people actually have to be deported at the end of the process."

US Congresswoman Barbara Jordan (D-TX)

Testimony to the House Immigration Subcommittee, February 24, 1995

They told me it was an annual event and that the magnitude depended on how wet the summer was.

"It is natural process."

The amount of sh!t Russians (and FSU) will put up with is amazing to me.
