A newer model for Dodge, the midsize Journey is essentially a tall station wagon. The Journey can haul up to seven passengers, although the standard configuration seats five. Most Journey models are powered by a 3.6l V6 engine, but a 2.4L I-4 is offered on the entry levels. Four cylinder models are equipped with a 4-speed automatic, while the V6 models equip a 6-speed automatic. The Journey is available in FWD or with on-demand AWD. Families that need a more compact and affordable alternative to the Dodge Caravan will find the Journey is a perfect fit.

The Journey sees a number of improvements for 2011. The most visible change is the upgraded interior and new instrument panel. A new more-powerful 3.6l V6 engine becomes replaces both previous V6 options. The four-cylinder engine is still available in the basic entry-level model. Dodge also addressed the ride and handling of the Journey with a number of updates to the suspension.
