The infotainment system is user-friendly but lacks Apple CarPlay or Android Auto support. The Sorento leads the competition with an impressive 5000-pound towing capacity. Even with the V-6 engine, the maximum towing rate is limited to 2500 pounds. An outdated 2.4-liter inline-4 engine is only good enough to tow 1000 pounds which is very unimpressive as all its competitors provide more towing capacity. It seems like an age has taken its toll on the Dodge Journey. With 129ft of stopping on the tarmac, the Dodge Journey fares better than the Kia and the Volkswagen. The brakes feel firm even after repetitive use and the car nosedive a bit while hard braking. The journey takes 129 feet to stop from 60-0 which is average for the class. Automatic transmission feels quick to upshift in most conditions while too slow to downshifts on the steep surface. Take it out on the highway and you will find it is difficult to keep in a straight line. It handles winding roads perfectly at low speeds although there is a lot of body lean around turns. There are not many good things to say about Journey's ride and handling. The Pentastar 3.6L V6 engine comes as standard with this trim and you will get the best Dodge has to offer for the Journey.Ģ019 Dodge Journey SUV In Acceleration ModeĪll is not lost though as the 3.6-liter V-6 feels strong but it takes 7.4 seconds to go from 0-60 which is still very slow when compared to most rivals with similar engines.Įmission Tons/yr of CO2 Emissions 15K mi/year

The base SE is pretty basic and does not even have Bluetooth as a standard feature.
