Overview

Competing in the midsize SUV segment, the 2015 Dodge Journey goes up against other notable names in the class, like the Subaru Outback, the Chevrolet Equinox, and the GMC Terrain. Spread across 5 trims, the Journey starts off at a base price of MSRP $20,695 and carries on to $33,295. Not all trims are built equal, however, as there are 2 powertrains on offer. Starting off is the 2.4L inline-4 engine and 4-speed automatic transmission base powertrain. Making 173 horsepower and 166 lb-ft of torque, this engine makes the Journey capable of accelerating from a standstill to 60 mph in 10.4 seconds and carries the capability to tow 1,000 pounds. One can also opt for a bigger 3.6L V6 engine that is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. With 283 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, this engine gets you a towing capacity of 2,500 pounds.
