Overview

Competing in the midsize SUV, the 2010 Dodge Journey goes up against other notable names in the class, like 2010 Mazda CX-9, the 2010 Ford Explorer, and the 2010 GMC Acadia. Spread across 3 trims, the Dodge Journey starts off at a base price of MSRP $20,845 and carries on to $27,995. Not all trims are built equal, however, as there are 2 powertrains on offer. Starting off is the 2.4L inline4 mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission. Making 173 horsepower and 166 lb-ft of torque, this engine makes the Dodge Journey capable of accelerating from a standstill to 60 mph in just 9.2 seconds and carries the capability to tow 1,000 pounds. One can also opt for a bigger 3.5L V6 that is paired with the 6-speed automatic transmission with manual shift control. With 235 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque, this engine gets you a towing capacity of 2,500 pounds.

When buying a 2010 Dodge Journey SUV, one can expect an average price of $6,995. However, average discounts of up to $108 are common. With nearly 273 units available in 7 striking colors, browse from our selection and take your “Year Brand Name Car Name” home today.

Buying Advice

The Dodge Journey is a great vehicle to opt for if you are looking for something practical, which is safe on the inside and is also priced attractively too. But on the other hand, it is unenthusiastic to drive to say the least and the driving feel is further dulled by the lifeless steering wheel.
