The Dodge Journey provides five or seven-passenger accommodations and spacious cargo room inside a package that splits the difference between the looks of a crossover and the boxiness of a minivan. The Dodge Journey crossover is initially offered with a 173 horsepower, 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine, but it can easily be upgraded to a 283 horsepower, 3.6 litre V6 that is also good for 260 lb-ft of torque. Four and six-speed automatic transmissions are the order of the day for the Journey, which also offers all-wheel drive.
