The ancient 2020 Dodge Journey is worth skipping in favor of almost any other new crossover SUV, and many used ones.
Pros Cheap Room for seven Optional infotainment system Roomy interior
Cons Poor safety record Few features Dated styling and materials No more V-6 or AWD
Dodge cuts down the number of available trims on the Journey from three to just two for 2020: the SE Value and the Crossroad. The other notable cuts are the absence of all-wheel drive and the optional V-6 engine that were paired to a six-speed automatic transmission. The only powertrain available is now the antiquated 172-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder that is paired to a four-speed automatic and front-wheel drive. In the SE Value trim, the package gives you a six-way power-adjustable driver's seat, Uconnect with Voice Command and Bluetooth, SiriusXM satellite radio, three-zone climate control, security alarm, and a leather-wrapped shift knob and steering wheel.
Pros Lots of cabin space, intuitive infotainment, unbeatable price.
Cons Uninspired styling, dismal driving dynamics, needs driver-assist tech.
The 2020 Dodge Journey comes with front wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 4-speed shiftable automatic.Base trim renamed to SE Value.GT trim and V6 engine dropped.
Pros Extra versatility provided by a standard three-row seat Low price for the segment
Cons Lacks many modern safety and convenience features even in top trims Below-average fuel economy Disappointing and outdated base engine and transmission Lags competitors in handling and drivability
