Apple CarPlay on Dodge Journey, how to connect

Dodge Journey supports Apple CarPlay that lets you access your iPhone apps like iTunes, Google Maps, Waze and Spotify through the touch-screen of your vehicle. You can also make phone calls, send messages or use navigation with voice commands using Siri.

Enable CarPlay and Siri on iPhone

You must have iPhone 5 or newer device with iOS 7.1 or newer version to use Apple CarPlay on Dodge Journey. Before you begin, ensure CarPlay and Siri are enabled on your iPhone. Also, make sure that the “Press Home for Siri” option is enabled under “Siri & Search” in settings.

If you can’t see CarPlay or Siri & Search under your iPhone settings, then go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps , and make sure both CarPlay and Siri & Search are enabled.

Enable CarPlay in Journey

CarPlay must be enabled in your Cherokee’s infotainment system settings if you want it to launch automatically when you connect USB. To enable CarPlay, select Apps , then Projection Manager . Check the box next to Smartphone Device Mirroring .

Connect iPhone to Journey’s USB port

• Connect your Apple iPhone to your Dodge Journey USB port using an Apple-approved Lightning-to-USB cable.
• Touch Allow on your iPhone when prompted. This allows the use of CarPlay with your Journey while phone is locked.
• CarPlay will launch automatically on the infotainment system display.

If CarPlay does not start automatically on your Journey after you plug in the USB, then touch its icon on the launch bar on home screen of the infotainment display.

If you’re unsure which USB port supports CarPlay on your particular Journey variant, then consult your vehicle’s owners manual – or you can try plugging in the cable, one by one, in all the USB ports in dashboard and center console.

CarPlay not working on Dodge Journey

If Apple CarPlay does not start on your Journey when you plug in the USB cable and there is no CarPlay icon in the list of apps in the infotainment system, it can be due to a number of reasons:

• CarPlay is disabled in your iPhone, go to ‘Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps’ and enable both CarPlay and Siri.
• The Lightning-to-USB cable you’re using is defective. Try a different cable, preferably original Apple cable.
• The connected USB port on your Journey does not support CarPlay. Try other USB ports.
• A software glitch is responsible for the CarPlay problem. Reset the Journey’s infotainment system to its factory settings.
• You’ve an older model of Journey that does not support Apple CarPlay. Only 2019 and later model year Dodge Journey vehicles are compatible with CarPlay.

Using Siri on Dodge Journey

Siri is Apple’s voice recognition feature that helps you to concentrate on the road while driving your Journey as you can control the functions of the iPhone with voice commands.

The virtual assistant allows you to place phone calls, listen to and send text messages, play music on your iPhone, get directions and use other functions of your iPhone hands-free. You can even ask Siri for current weather conditions, stock prices or upcoming events on your calendar.

To access Siri, press and hold the talk button on the steering wheel of your Journey until you hear Siri tone.

You can also access Siri by holding down the home button located at the bottom left corner in the CarPlay app.

If the Listen for “Hey Siri” function is enabled in your iPhone device under Siri & Search settings, you can also just simply say: “Hey Siri”. After hearing the audible alert, you can begin asking Siri for assistance.

For best results when using Siri, speak clearly and reduce background noise by closing the windows and moonroof. Also, direct the air vents on dashboard so that they are not pointing towards the vehicle’s microphone.

Which Journey models support CarPlay?

2019 and later model year Dodge Journey vehicles are compatible with Apple CarPlay.

Using Google Maps on Dodge Journey with CarPlay

If your iPhone has iOS 14+ operating system, you can freely use Google Maps in Apple CarPlay on your Journey. Apple now allows the use of Google Maps in the home screen. Apple has allowed the competitor’s map service in its car application since iOS 12, but the homescreen that was newly introduced in iOS 13 in 2019 could not yet be equipped with maps. Here, users were still limited to Apple’s own map service. With iOS 14 that changes. Now CarPlay automatically selects the last service used for the view.

Using Waze navigation on Dodge Journey with CarPlay

You can use Waze navigation app in CarPlay if you have iOS 12 or higher operating system installed on your iPhone. Download and install Waze app from App Store on your iPhone, then start CarPlay on your Journey’s infotainment system display. Then touch Waze icon to launch the app.

Using Spotify on Journey

You can use Spotify to stream music on your Journey. Just install the Spotify app from App Store and its icon will appear in the infotainment display when CarPlay is active.

You can use voice commands to play music hands-free on Spotify with Siri. Just add “on Spotify” at the end so that Siri knows which service you’re referring to (e.g. “Hey, Siri, play my ‘Your Mix of the Week’ playlist on Spotify”).

Siri can play songs, artists, albums, playlists, podcasts, and more. You can also “like” music, ask what’s playing, and control playback (e.g. volume, skip song, play / pause).

Do not disturb while driving

When driving, keep your eyes on the road. A quick look at the navigation device is of course allowed in order not to miss the next junction. The “Do not disturb while driving” function can be activated so that your iPhone does not distract you with unnecessary notifications while driving your Journey. iOS 13 extends this option to CarPlay as well. On your iPhone go to Settings > Do Not Disturb, then scroll down and touch “Activate” under “Do not disturb while driving”.

Not all apps are compatible with CarPlay

If you think you can use all your iPhone apps in your Dodge Journey with CarPlay, then you’re wrong. The selection of compatible applications is limited, and you have to live with restrictions, especially with messenger apps. iMessage and WhatsApp can be controlled almost exclusively via Siri. That means you cannot see your message history, but only have new messages read out to you or even dictate messages yourself.

The following apps can be used with CarPlay on your Journey, among others: Music, Phone, News, Podcasts, Audio books, Audible, Google Maps, Sygic TomTomGO, Whatsapp, calendar, Settings, Telegram, Waze, Spotify, TuneIn, Tidal, Pandora, Youtube Music and Amazon Music.

Sort apps in CarPlay

You can sort CarPlay apps in your Journey quickly and easily through your iPhone. To do this, go to Settings > General > CarPlay , then select your vehicle under “MY CARS” . On the next screen you can rearrange app icons by touching and dragging them. You can also hide icons by touching the minus button on them.

Video Demonstration

I have a 2019 Dodge Journey, but it doesn’t have any Apple CarPlay features that I can find. I have searched through the Settings menu several times and I wasn’t able to find anything related to Apple CarPlay. Also, my display is different than yours. I don’t have an Apps option like what your article showed.

Do you know if there’s a firmware update I can get to enable Apple CarPlay on my audio system (and also fix the Bluetooth and playlist issues that exist)?

Does the Dodge Journey Have Apple CarPlay?

When the Dodge Journey hit the market, more than 10 years ago, families rejoiced. It offered a unique mesh of capability and felt as though it was one part SUV and one part minivan. Fast forward to 2020, and the Dodge Journey is back for another year of production.

But the crossover competition is steep, and Dodge hasn’t made any generational changes to the Journey. Some worry the Journey is showing its age, and you may be wondering if it at least keeps up with current connectivity technologies. So, does the new 2020 Dodge Journey have Apple CarPlay?

Since not much has changed, what’s under the hood?

For drivers who enjoy the curves of the road, the @Dodge Journey GT offers a high-performance suspension for a firmer ride. pic.twitter.com/aaMl1efBmv — Dodge Cares (@dodgecares) January 24, 2020

Don’t expect any remarkable enhancements under the hood. The Dodge Journey will only offer one engine, the 2.4L I4. The 172 horsepower engine is married to a four-speed automatic transmission. In today’s performance standards, you’ll find most powertrains feature six-speed automatic transmission or more.

The Journey’s power won’t knock your socks off. It won’t save you tons in gas money either. The EPA rates the 2020 Dodge Journey with a combined 21 mpg, which isn’t terribly impressive. You’ll also lose AWD options for the Journey in 2020.

What’s it like on the inside?

The Dodge Journey is one of the very few compact crossovers with third-row seating as standard. New this year, Dodge narrows the trim levels down to two – SE Value and Crossroad.

There are roomy cargo options, with plenty of fold-flat capabilities. With all seats in the upright positions, you’ll have a limited 10.7 cubic feet of space behind the third row. Folded to a flat position will provide 37 cubic feet. Fold the second row into the stowed position, and you’ll enjoy 67.6 cubic feet of storage area behind the front seats.

Dodge Journey technology and infotainment features

Considering the Dodge Journey is relatively unchanged for 10 straight years, you’re probably wondering if the tech and infotainment are up to par. The base model will provide you with a 4.3-inch touchscreen and entry-level audio extras.

Upgrades can add in SiriusXM radio, a CD player, auxiliary and USB ports. If you want the 8.4-inch screen, navigation, Uconnect (voice command), and Bluetooth connectivity, you can only enjoy those with Crossroad models. Adding in the extras is easier this year with Dodge bundling the options into a suite they call the Popular Equipment Group .

Will the Dodge Journey to get a performance-focused replacement in 2022? https://t.co/AeBjSpkCB3 pic.twitter.com/ZQc9xP167r — Autoblog (@therealautoblog) November 25, 2019

What about Apple CarPlay connectivity?

Even at the highest-level trim, neither Apple CarPlay nor Android Auto are part of the configurations. This may be a deal-breaker for many consumers.

Having the ability to make and receive both calls and texts, all hands-free and with voice command, is more than a luxury. It’s safe driving. Many competitors offer both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as base-level standard features these days. For anyone considering a Dodge Journey, you’ll have to pursue aftermarket install options or forgo the connectivity tech altogether.

Does the Dodge Journey have driver assistance features?

The short answer is yes. The 2020 Dodge Journey does offer a few driver aids. Every trim level configuration, including the base model, will come standard with a backup camera and parking sensors.

However, if you’re looking for adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, or lane-keeping assistance, you won’t find any of them available for the Journey.

It’s not all bad, and for many on a budget with several passengers to haul, the Dodge Journey is a perfect fit. It’s still, hands-down, the most affordable crossover out there with three rows. You’ll notice the price tag is thousands less than others in its segment.

The SE Value trim level starts at $24,990, and the well-equipped Crossroad is only $30,090. But remember, you will get what you pay for when you drive a Journey off the lot. You’ll forgo some of the fun tech and extras that almost every other SUV offers, including the Apple CarPlay connectivity .

How-To Geek

How to add apple carplay to your car.

Simplify your commute by adding CarPlay to your dash.

Quick Links

Option 1: get an oem retrofit, option 2: replace your car's head unit, bluetooth is an option.

Apple CarPlay makes it easy to use iPhone apps like Google Maps or Spotify in your car's center console, saving you from mounting your smartphone on your windshield or dashboard. But what if your car doesn't support CarPlay?

CarPlay first appeared in 2014, and many auto manufacturers started offering iPhone connectivity around that time. Like most new features, this was an optional add-on for new cars. Many manufacturers have since made CarPlay a standard feature.

If your car was manufactured after 2014 but lacks the add-on package for CarPlay, you may be able to retrofit it using an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) upgrade. To find out for sure, contact a service center that specializes in servicing your particular brand of car.

Related: All Vehicles Compatible with Apple CarPlay as of Feb. 2022

Some manufacturers that have offered retrofits include Hyundai, Mazda, and Ford but not for all models.

The upgrade may only require a software patch to unlock CarPlay, or you may be offered the option of changing the hardware to enable the functionality. The cost of the upgrade will vary depending on what needs to be done, but you should be able to get a free quote to find out before committing.

If your car is older than 2014, your OEM doesn't offer an upgrade, or the cost of an OEM retrofit seems too much, you could also try replacing the head unit in your car. Many head units are now fully compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with additional features like compatibility with reversing cameras or object sensors often bundled in too.

The biggest hurdle you'll have to overcome is to find a head unit that's compatible with your particular make and model. Contacting a local car audio expert is the best way to find out what your options are, but it may also be the priciest.

Your options include high-end name brands like the MVH-AC251BT from Pioneer (around $450) or cheaper models like the BVCP9700A from BOSS  (around $250). If possible, head to a showroom and try a demo unit before you buy to ensure you're happy with the end result.

Pioneer MVH-AV251BT Digital Multimedia Video Receiver with 7" Hires Touch Panel Display, Apple CarPlay, Android AUT, Built-in Bluetooth, and SiriusXM-Ready (Does not Play CDs)

This Pioneer head unit is both Apple CarPlay and Android Audio ready, with built-in Bluetooth, SiriusXM compatibility, and a 7-inch high-resolution touch screen.

If you're willing to put in some research, you may find the second-hand market to be the most cost-effective option for adding CarPlay to an older vehicle. Use marketplaces like eBay and Facebook Marketplace, but remember to stay safe and avoid scams .

If your car already has Bluetooth connectivity, there's a good chance you can already use most smartphone functions wirelessly. This includes making and taking phone calls, getting turn-by-turn directions, and listening to music or podcasts.

CarPlay is a step-up though, providing a visual aid on top of existing audio integration. Once you have it, find out how you can customize the display .

Apple CarPlay suggestions

I am a new owner to a 2016 Dodge Journey R/T. I have been doing a fair amount of research on how to achieve some level of Apple CarPlay without needing to take out a second mortgage.   

I have heard about modules that can be used with your factory system, this would be preferable to keep all the original controls over the various features i have like heated steering and seats.   

I am seeking the opinion and suggestion of others here on what would be the lowest cost option of adding Apple CarPlay to my Journey. I am not picky on if it has to be wired or wireless, or controlled through an aftermarket module or something like that. Even if i had to replace the head unit to the 8.4AN but if there’s assurances i would not loose any current functionality of my vehicle.   

I have the Uconnect 8.4n with Garmin CTP16 nav, which right now is not showing streets except for major highways (interstates). The cost to keep the maps updated would be better spent to use Waze or another nav software through CarPlay.   

thank you all in advance and i am loving this Journey already and it’s only been a few hours with it

What features of Apple  Car-Play do you require that 6.4 w/o navi doesn't already have? The dumb moment: Let me just get this out there: Why not get a good phone mount and get a Tablet or use your phone to supplement the existing 4.2 or 8.4 display. This will cost near zero if you already own the phone mount and phone, and will provide greater function that Android Auto as you can use your phone in its entirety without the gimmicky safety limitations of Android Auto not letting you text and stuff... I mean, will android auto let you watch netflix while you drive? Probably not (as its a stupid and dangerous idea) but a phone in a phone mount can! I don't know if android still has this feature, but my old HTC Evo had a car mode which gave only 6 icons. (kind of a precursor to Android auto) I know that's not the point of you asking, hearing someone tell you the obvious. So- Let's dive right into what you want to hear!  

What I suggest investigating is to somehow splice into the reverse camera wiring and run an aftermarket Android Auto module. there would be no touchscreen compatibility from the 8.4, but you could do screen mirroring, and splice in your audio from the aux jack using a 3.5mm y-splitter. I think, (and this is pure speculation) that all you'd need to do to spoof this is have a dedicated switch on the side of the console, when flipped on it would sent 12v to the reverse signal wire (which triggers the screen to change over the reverse camera composite video input. As there is no power to the reverse camera, there would be no video signal. (if the signal wire goes generate a video signal from the rear camera, then use the same (or separate switch) to toggle a composite switch box- So- when this switch is toggled, have the aftermarket Android Auto unit send video signal through the reverse camera signal wires, either through y-splice or via the aforementioned composite switching box. This is based on some research i did when I wanted to add 4.2 navigation+rearview upgrades which would toggle on-off in a funny annolog fashion whenever the 'screen off button' was pressed. I understood they were basically switching a single push button with a 4-way cycle switch which cycled between 1. screen normal 2. screen off (it just streamed a video of a black image) 3. Video feed from Garmin's screen 4. video feed from reverse camera. If there exists an android auto auto autoauto module that just sends out video signal, then you'd be able to somehow send it through the reverse camera line. You might get 'check surroundings for saftey' overlay but- hey. almost there! ____ Lastly, I just wanted to mention that on the Chevy VOLT (my other car) there was a crazy guy who went all in on upgrading the touchscreen to android auto. It ended up using a raspberry-pi and way too much programming to get the touch screen to work mostly seamlessly. Good luck on your pursuit.  

And one more thing, there seems to be more information on this on the Challenger/charger forums. you might find some info on the Durango forums too.  Although this thread goes nowhere, allegedly someone got it to work. Maybe the Charger and dodger are similar and this process  will work? https://www.chargerforumz.com/threads/install-uconnect-from-2017-into-2015.182586/page-2 Personally, This is a rabbit hole I'd not go down.

Ontario has some very strict laws on Handsfree devices and even the notion of reaching to touch an iphone that is mounted, while technically is legal to do, still has caused some to be pulled over and ticketed anyway under the Drive, Hand-Held Device rule here. Being a CMV driver, I'd rather not take the risk at all and stick to touching a screen if need be that is a part of my vehicle. I'll take a look there and see. Thank you for the information and ideas

I am looking to add CarPlay to my Cherokee. Looked at NUMEROUS sites, this one seems the easiest and least intrusive for the Jeep.  Just waiting for them to get more in..  Not even sure they support the DJ, but it’s worth a look.

I saw this as well. Mind you, between the various reviews you will find on Google of them, and the complaints on the BBB, I would be very careful. I would only trust it if someone came back stating they installed it and it works great. But based on the reviews I have seen so far, it has been nothing but trouble for others. 

https://www.google.com/search?q=Navtool+Reviews&sxsrf=ALeKk000r95-0-Pw8Kr9GWEcdUQ6iiCxPw%3A1619044734270&source=hp&ei=fqmAYOr4DZm7tAbUwoTwDw&iflsig=AINFCbYAAAAAYIC3jvP4RGKw06Ro28l7E53X6jfaOa-G&oq=Navtool+Reviews&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAMyAggAOgQIIxAnOgUIABCRAjoLCC4QxwEQrwEQkQI6CAguELEDEIMBOggIABCxAxCDAToFCAAQsQM6CwguELEDEMcBEKMCOgUILhCxAzoICC4QxwEQrwE6BggAEBYQHlCPBlihF2CTGGgAcAB4AIABZYgB6AmSAQQxMy4ymAEAoAEBqgEHZ3dzLXdpeg&sclient=gws-wiz&ved=0ahUKEwjqr4nSs5DwAhWZHc0KHVQhAf4Q4dUDCAk&uact=5

In my 09 DJ I pulled out the factory system (UConnect would not work with our new iPhones) and installed a Kenwood unit.  Works like a charm.  Wireless CarPlay, better sound, better unit. Lost nothing as far as wheel controls, etc.  never had HVAC,etc on factory unit.  I went through Crutchfield....

Ontario driver here too:

For Apple CarPlay/Android interface, to my best knowledge, there is only one, although sold by two different companies. It comes down to a matter of price.

Here's a video of it already installed and working. 

It can be purchased on Ali Express or Italy on this dealer

I'll buy it before summer as other members on Facebook Groups also purchased and I liked the videos as well.

See my other post. I would AVOID THIS SELLER.  You need to disassemble your screen to install a circuit board, which they don’t tell you!  No help from China customer service.  Buyer beware!

Actually I did purchase this week! It's already in Ontario and ready for delivery.

I'll be installing it next week with a lot of pictures to be taken.

I'll post the results and up's and downs from this solution! 

• 2 weeks later...

A lot of updates! I'll keep posting as get more experience...

• Unit arrived.
• Is a newer generation that allows wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay.
• Installation was pretty straight forward, although I had and should investigate the microphone setup. I'll explain further down.
• Connection to backup camera is already done through the cable - there's more options for extra cameras or after market. 
• All you need is to press the back button to change between Uconnect and the Interface.
• It DOESN"T need any mod to the screen. you just plug the screen "LVDS" to the cable supplied.

Bravo sir! I take it because the screen is using the reverse video input, no touch screen features work?) Needless to say, even if there are some drawbacks, you've casually did the impossible, and brought the Journey up to par with modern cars infotainment.  Bravo!!!

Very impressive install, great pics. No hand cuts from dash work,  also amazing ?.

Does the factory console  USB jack stay functional and the second corded USB input in pic act as another input? 

No issues with heated seats and heated steering wheel ,  you have them correct.

If you don’t have a factory back up camera already and only bumper back up sensors;  you can plug and play an aftermarket cam without any extra programming ?  With screen mirroring and data so cheap now, you could just run Waze which has reasonable traffic updates ; forget about the factory nav altogether.  Nice to have both options.  Thanks again for all the info.

If you don't have factory camera, this system has the RCA plug and the wiring. Additionally has in both cases extra video inputs for front camera and aftermarket parking sensors.

The only question I have is, does it require you to remove the screen? Ok, one more question, where does that box on the kit go...behind the screen?

Otherwise, incredibly cool!

I had to remove the screen so I could pass cables and install.

I installed it behind the screen. No modifications... Just plug , test to be safe and put back.

I think is a late but good solution.

Support is great form the Italian supplier. I don't find these latest units being sold elsewhere, including AliExpress.

I assume that I, not the interface, did something wrong with the OEM Mic. I couldn't get it to work. That's why I installed the supplied one.

Note that using the supplied mic you can still use the VR button on the left steering wheel control. Press it and triggers either the Apple Siri or Google assistant. It does also activates the Uconnect VR but i say the command, the interface/phone listens and processes. Then i just press VR again to cancel the Uconnect attempt.

Things I don't like: The next/previous track don't work as it's connected via AUX1. I'm playing still with settings on phone, android auto and the interface as I don't like the interface connecting and showing up on screen as soon as i get into the car. I would prefer to idle and only starting when i press the back button which is the way to change systems.

Do you get limited to using your phone for music, or can you use the interface while using your car's radio?

As far my experience goes, when using the interface there's no radio. I either use my phone's music on the microSD and native music player that shows up in Android Auto, or just use Amazon Music which is not heavy on data.

That would be a reason for me to think about it. I guess I could let the SiriusXM subscription for this car go, and stream from my phone...

Any need to splice wires?

No wiring striping at all specially if use the supplied microphone.

I do have and use Sirius on the car. But note that we also have the Sirius XM app.... and Sirius sounds BETTER via the app.

Agreed. And the app allows you to move between car and house listening to a specific show (CBS Sports Radio shows for me in the mornings...)

And I can always keep the other subscriptions in the account active. I am very tempted to spend the US $400 on it

How to connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your car

Learn how to connect your device to your car stereo.

Connect using CarPlay

Available on select cars, CarPlay is a smarter, safer way to use your iPhone in the car. CarPlay takes the things you want to do with your iPhone while driving and puts them right on your car’s built-in display.

First, make sure that your country or region supports CarPlay and that your car supports CarPlay .

If your car supports CarPlay using the USB port, plug your iPhone into the USB port of your car or stereo. The USB port might be labeled with a CarPlay icon or a smartphone icon.

If your car supports wireless CarPlay, press and hold the voice command button on your steering wheel to set up CarPlay. Or make sure that your car is in wireless or Bluetooth pairing mode. Then on your iPhone, go to Settings > General > CarPlay > Available Cars and choose your car. Check the manual that came with your car for more information.

Learn more about CarPlay or how to set up and use CarPlay .

Connect using Bluetooth

Restart your device .

Go to Settings > Bluetooth, and turn off Bluetooth. Wait for about 5 seconds, then turn Bluetooth back on.

Check the manual that came with your car for more information on how to pair with a Bluetooth device. Most cars require a phone setup on the car display.

If you've connected multiple phones to your car stereo, try renaming your device: Go to Settings > General > About > Name, and type a new name. Then try connecting again.

Update your device .

Make sure that your stereo is using the latest firmware from the car manufacturer. Check your car's manual for more information.

If you still can't connect, contact Apple Support .

Connect using USB playback

Restart your device and your car.

Make sure that your device is unlocked and on the Home screen.

If possible, try to connect using another cable or USB port. Check the manual that came with your car to learn how to connect an Apple device.

Check your charging port for any debris or damage. Make sure that your charging cable is properly inserted into the port.

Try playing audio from a different app. If you can't play audio from a third-party app, contact the app developer for help. If you can't play audio from an Apple app, contact Apple Support .

2020 Dodge Journey: Model overview, pricing, tech and specs

Don't stop believin': More than 10 years after it hit the market, the Journey carries into 2020 largely unchanged.

The Journey is only offered in two trims for the 2020 model year.

The 2020 Dodge Journey is the least-expensive three-row crossover available in the United States. Costing thousands less than its competition, the Journey offers serious value for budget-minded buyers. Unfortunately, that's about where the selling points end.

Dodge originally launched the Journey in 2008 for the 2009 model year, and more than a decade later, the crossover largely remains the same. A notable update in 2011 brought an improved interior layout and better material quality, but otherwise, the aging Journey is the same as it's ever been.

2020 Dodge Journey: Seating for 7 on the cheap

Powertrain and specs

At one time, the Journey was available with V6 power and optional all-wheel drive, but both of those are gone for 2020. Now, the only engine available is an anemic 2.4-liter I4, with 172 horsepower and 165 pound-feet of torque. It's mated exclusively to a four-speed automatic transmission which, for a 2020 model year vehicle, is downright archaic.

Unfortunately, this low-powered engine doesn't result in any fuel economy benefits. The EPA rates the 2020 Journey at 19 miles per gallon city, 25 mpg highway and 21 mpg combined. For reference, a larger, three-row 2020 Honda Pilot offers a substantially more powerful V6 engine and returns 19 mpg city, 27 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined.

The Journey's cabin is best described as being functional above all. The base SE Value trim comes with cloth seats, while the Crossroad has leather. Every Journey comes standard with three rows of seats, which fold flat to offer generous cargo accommodations. The second row has a 40/60 split, while the third row seats use a 50/50 split.

With all of its seats up, the Journey offers just 10.7 cubic feet of space behind the third row. Fold those flat, and the cargo hold expands to 37.0 cubic feet. Finally, with both rows stowed, there's a useful 67.6 cubic feet of space behind the two front chairs.

Even the upgraded 8.4-inch multimedia system lacks Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The Journey's base multimedia system uses a 4.3-inch touchscreen headunit, with only basic audio features. An optional upgrade doesn't increase the screen size any but adds notable features like SiriusXM satellite radio and a CD player, in addition to the standard USB and aux port.

Crossroad models come with an 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system, with Bluetooth connectivity. However, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not part of the equation. Embedded navigation is only available on the Crossroad trim.

As for driver-assistance features, well, there aren't many to discuss. Every Journey comes standard with parking sensors and a back-up camera, but that's about it. Adaptive cruise control? Lane-keeping assist? Blind-spot monitoring? Rear cross-traffic alert? None of those are available on the 2020 Dodge Journey.

You can't get the Dodge Journey with all-wheel drive anymore.

Official pricing has yet to be announced as of this publish date, but we don't expect prices to change too much versus the 2019 Journey. That means the SE Value trim should come in around $25,000, with the Crossroad commanding around $32,000.

The SE Value can be had with a Blacktop package, which adds a gloss black grille and unique, 17-inch wheels. The Popular Equipment Group adds a six-way power driver's seat, Bluetooth, three-zone climate control and more.

The Crossroad's Popular Equipment Group nets you remote start, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and embedded navigation in the 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system. An additional rear entertainment system can be optioned on the Crossroad, which includes an overhead, 9-inch video screen and wireless headphones.

Availability

The 2020 Journey will arrive in Dodge dealers this fall.

What's New for 2020?

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. Buyers can look forward to the addition of standard rear park assist to all models as well as a standard sunroof for the Crossroad trim level. Dodge also streamlines the option-picking process with the introduction of the Popular Equipment Group which bundles many features together, depending on trim level. 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. The Crossroad's Popular Equipment Group adds a universal garage door opener, remote start, heated front seats and steering wheel, navigation, and a six-speaker sound system with a subwoofer. Dodge has announced that the Journey will finally come to an end after the 2020 model year.

Pricing and Which One to Buy

The price of the 2020 Dodge Journey starts at $25,170 and goes up to $30,090 depending on the trim and options.

With the absence of the V-6 and all-wheel drive for 2020, the rental-fleet-inspired SE Value version is our pick from the Journey lineup. With minimal options to choose from and minimal value added from the Popular Equipment Group at this level, we'd skip everything and stick with the bare-bones Journey.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

The Journey SE and Crossroad trims come with an underpowered four-cylinder engine that's best avoided—except you can't, since the V-6 is no longer offered. The 172-hp engine is woefully underpowered and the four-speed automatic transmission that's reluctant to downshift further dulls its real-world performance.

There are not many three-row crossovers that are entertaining to drive, so their ride and handling are graded on a curve. Even so, the Journey's ponderous handling and unresponsive transmission leave it far from getting a good rating from us. It wallows in corners with lots of body roll and imprecise steering. The benefit of this softness, however, is a comfortable ride on the freeway.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG

The four-cylinder engine has the worst EPA ratings among competitors with similar powertrains, with 19 mpg in city driving and 25 mpg on the highway. By comparison, the 2019 Honda CR-V is rated at 26 city and 32 mpg on the highway, while the 2019 Toyota C-HR is rated at 27/31.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

The Journey's interior is far from upscale, but its simple controls are user-friendly. Getting anyone to fit in the third row—even children—requires those in the second row to compromise their legroom. Cheap-feeling bits such as a plasticky shifter and hollow-sounding interior door-trim panels are especially egregious on the priciest version. Several luxury features including a power-adjustable passenger seat, cooled seats, and heated rear seats are notable in their absence from the options list.

Practicality is one of the few areas where the Journey shines: its interior is easily configurable and it has tons of cubby storage for odds and ends, even if its total cargo capacity isn't as large as some competitors. You can fold down the 50/50-split third row and the 60/40-split second row to expand the available cargo space, although the Journey offers the least amount of total cargo space of the vehicles in this class. In addition to the expected compartments in and around the console, there's also a generously sized bin under the front-passenger seat cushion, as well as two large underfloor compartments in the second row.

Infotainment and Connectivity

Although every model features an easy-to-use touchscreen, the system has fewer features than many other Dodge products. Likewise, the larger screen is responsive, but we wish Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability were offered here. There's also only a single USB port up front—not great for the device-happy spawn likely to inhabit the back seats.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

Overall safety rating (nhtsa).

The Journey's lackluster safety report card reveals that it's not the best choice when it comes to sheltering your precious onboard cargo. Its crash-test results are not great, and—what's worse—it offers none of the advanced driver-assistance technology that is expected in other family haulers. The only available safety feature is rear parking sensors.

Warranty and Maintenance Coverage

Dodge's warranty coverage is average, and Journey buyers won't enjoy complimentary scheduled maintenance.

• Limited warranty covers 3 years or 36,000 miles
• Powertrain warranty covers 5 years or 60,000 miles
• No complimentary scheduled maintenance

2020 Dodge Journey: Price Is A Virtue

Contributor

Rumors that Dodge will kill off its Journey three-row SUV have been circulating for years, but at last check, it’s alive and kicking. The automaker cropped the number of trims four to two for 2020, leaving just the SE Value and Crossroad. Dodge also made adjustments under the hood, dumping the all-wheel-drive 3.6-liter V6 engine and six-speed automatic transmission. That leaves the 172-horsepower front-wheel-drive 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine paired to a four-speed automatic transmission as the sole powertrain.  

The Journey shares the brand family styling and resembles a three-quarter-scale Dodge Grand Caravan from many angles. In the SE Value, the anonymous look is completed with hubcapped wheels and black plastic trim pieces, but higher trims get a healthy dose of chrome and upscale-looking features. The Crossroad’s large 19-inch painted aluminum wheels and body-colored trim are quite handsome and help bump the vehicle’s looks in a positive direction. 

The Journey’s interior is clean but lacks excitement. As expected, there are plenty of plastics and budget materials, but it’s inoffensive and fully serviceable. The Crossroad trim gets a much bigger 8.4-inch touchscreen (over the 4.3-inch screen in base models), that dominates an otherwise austere dash.

The standard 2.4-liter inline-four engine is underpowered for the Journey’s relatively heavy two-ton weight, and is loud under acceleration without pulling very hard. The archaic four-speed automatic transmission doesn’t help matters much either. Previous versions with the 283-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 and six-speed automatic transmission delivered lively acceleration and a smooth feel. It’s the powertrain of choice for buyers shopping in the used market. 

Remarkably, the Journey’s ride is somewhat of a standout feature. It’s comfortable and leans more toward a softer feel than a sporty one. Even with the larger wheels on the Crossroad, the ride maintains a comfortable and composed feel over most road surfaces.

The front seats are comfortable but only offer a six-way adjustment, which cuts away at the degree of freedom other vehicles provide. Passengers up front are not afforded the ability to adjust seat height, so longer trips for very tall or very short people can become uncomfortable. The second-row seats are well-padded and spacious, with plenty of room for two people. Despite the airy feel inside the cabin, three across in the back seat is quite a squeeze for anyone of average size. The rear seat slides, which can open up more legroom for third-row passengers or increase the cargo space in the back. 

The Crossroad’s leather seats make the interior very comfortable and are an improvement over the cloth upholstery in the base models. Even so, it’s hard to ague with the value of the SE’s cloth seats. Loading child seats is simple in the Journey. Its ample headroom and somewhat squared-off door openings make easy work of lifting little ones in and out. When folded, the rear seats open 67.6 cubic-feet of cargo space, which is plenty for even larger items and trips to the hardware store.

The 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen in the Crossroad is parent Fiat Chrysler ‘s gift to the automotive world. The system is bright and colorful and uses easily understood icons and menus that make operation easy. Uconnect is responsive and full-featured and includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. 

 The Journey does not check any boxes for buyers looking for plenty of advanced driver-assistance safety tech. There is a standard backup camera and parking assistance, but not much else. In crash testing, IIHS rated the Journey as “Good” in most areas, but notably marked it as “Poor” for small overlap front crashworthiness. The Journey’s headlights also earned a “Poor” rating for lack of brightness, and the child seat LATCH anchors received a “Marginal” rating for ease of use. The Dodge was awarded four out of five stars overall in NHTSA crash testing, again getting a ding for its front crash scores.

2020 Dodge Journey Review

See Edmunds pricing data

Has Your Car's Value Changed?

Used car values are constantly changing. Edmunds lets you track your vehicle's value over time so you can decide when to sell or trade in.

• Extra versatility provided by a standard three-row seat
• Low price for the segment
• 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

What's new

• Base trim renamed to SE Value
• GT trim and V6 engine dropped
• Part of the first Journey generation introduced in 2009

For 2020, the Dodge Journey is sent once more unto the breach in an attempt to woo you over with its low price and ... well, not much else. This small seven-seat SUV was once available in a multitude of trim levels and offered a strong optional V6 engine and available all-wheel drive. Now Dodge has stripped the Journey down and simplified it to only two trim levels and one available engine and transmission. It also can only be had in front-wheel drive.

Cost to Drive Cost to drive estimates for the 2020 Dodge Journey SE Value 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 4A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.55 per gallon for regular unleaded in North Dakota.

Briefly ahead of its time, the Journey has been largely forgotten by Dodge and left with a low-budget interior, an underpowered engine and subpar driving dynamics. Even its low starting price isn't enough to make much of a case for the Journey since most of its main competitors can be had for similar money.

In its class, the Kia Sorento leads the way with more space, an abundance of features and an excellent warranty, with the stylish Volkswagen Tiguan coming in second thanks to its safety features and user-friendly tech interface. The recently rehabilitated Mitsubishi Outlander is a more distant third but is still a considerably better option than the Journey.

Edmunds Expert Rating

Performance, fuel economy, which journey does edmunds recommend, 2020 dodge journey models.

All Journeys are powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine (173 horsepower, 166 lb-ft) mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive has been available in the past, but all 2020 Journeys are front-wheel-drive.

Selecting the SE Value trim delivers a bare-bones experience, with manually adjustable cloth seats, 17-inch steel wheels with wheel covers, and a basic six-speaker audio system with a 4.3-inch touchscreen. Available to the SE Value trim exclusively are the Blacktop Package , which adds black exterior accents and black aluminum wheels, and the SE Value Popular Equipment Group , which includes a power driver's seat, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, satellite radio and three-zone climate control.

The Crossroad upgrades the seating surfaces to leather and brings a power-adjustable driver's seat. It also adds a sunroof and a larger 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system and dresses up the exterior with body-colored mirrors and 19-inch alloy wheels. The Crossroad's Popular Equipment Group includes navigation, a more powerful audio system, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel.

2020 Dodge Journey Overview

Is the 2020 dodge journey a good used suv.

The 2020 Journey is not a very good used SUV. Its cabin is full of cheap plastics, the third row is incredibly cramped, and cargo space is subpar for a midsize SUV . On top of that, this Dodge lacks the tech – including Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and a host of safety features – you can find in most rivals.

There are plenty of better vehicles to consider. The 2020 Kia Sorento has a nicer cabin, more tech and safety features (including Android Auto and Apple CarPlay), and better fuel economy. Despite being a compact SUV , the 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan has more cargo room than the Journey, and it can be had with all-wheel drive.

Which Used Dodge Journey Trim Is Right for Me?

Dodge made the 2020 Journey in two trim levels: SE Value and Crossroad. Both have a 172-horsepower four-cylinder engine, a four-speed automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive.

The SE Value is sparsely equipped, so shoppers may want to skip it in favor of the Crossroad.

• Dodge Journey SE Value: Standard features include a 4.3-inch touch screen, a USB port, a six-speaker stereo, dual-zone manual climate control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, keyless entry, rear parking sensors, and a rearview camera.
• Dodge Journey Crossroad: The Crossroad gains an 8.4-inch touch screen, satellite radio, Bluetooth, tri-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, a power-adjustable driver's seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, second-row in-floor storage bins, a sunroof, fog lights, and alloy wheels. Some Crossroads may come with navigation, a rear-seat entertainment system, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and/or remote start.

What Does Dodge's Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Cover?

Dodge offers a certified pre-owned program for vehicles six years old or less and with fewer than 65,000 miles. Eligibility is determined by the vehicle’s initial sale date. For its certified pre-owned vehicles, Dodge offers a five-year/100,000-mile maximum care limited warranty. Additional benefits are available, including a 90-day satellite radio trial subscription, a Carfax vehicle history report, 24-hour towing and roadside assistance and a car rental allowance. There are mileage and model restrictions too. 

Dodge has one of the weaker CPO warranties among affordable carmakers, according to our analysis. Rivals such as Kia, Hyundai, Chevy, Ford and Honda are all better.

Extended Warranties for Dodge Cars and SUVs

Not every used Dodge will qualify for a certified pre-owned warranty. However, there are options available if you want additional coverage after the manufacturer’s warranty has expired.

2020 Dodge Journey Versus the Competition

2020 dodge journey vs. 2020 ford explorer.

The 2020 Ford Explorer is a much better midsize SUV than the Dodge. It has stronger engines, sharper handling, better fuel economy estimates, more passenger room, a larger cargo hold, and many more standard safety features. Go with the Ford.

Compare the Journey and Explorer »

2020 Dodge Journey vs. 2020 Honda CR-V

The two-row 2020 Honda CR-V is a compact SUV , but its first two rows offer more passenger space than the Journey's front rows, and it has an additional 8.2 cubic feet of cargo space. The Honda offers more tech and safety features than the Dodge, and it provides a more stable ride. The CR-V is the better vehicle.

2020 Journey Performance

How does the 2020 dodge journey drive.

The only available engine for the Journey is an underpowered four-cylinder that struggles to bring the vehicle up to speed. Additionally, the automatic transmission hesitates to downshift.

The Journey provides a mostly gentle ride, but the SUV feels unwieldy around turns and suffers from a lot of body lean. Furthermore, the steering is imprecise and requires frequent corrections. All-wheel drive is not available.

• Engine: 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 172 horsepower and 165 pound-feet of torque
• Drivetrain: front-wheel drive
• Transmission: four-speed automatic

2020 Dodge Journey Gas Mileage

This Dodge earns an EPA-estimated 19 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. Those are typical fuel economy estimates for the midsize SUV class , which includes V6-powered rivals. For an SUV with a four-cylinder engine, however, this vehicle disappoints.

2020 Dodge Journey Towing Capacity

The Journey can tow up to 1,000 pounds when properly equipped. That’s poor for the class. There are even some compact SUVs that can tow more than that.

2020 Journey Interior

2020 journey interior quality.

Most class rivals have nicer interiors than the Journey's. Cheap and flimsy plastics make up the bulk of this vehicle’s cabin.

How Many People Does the 2020 Journey Seat?

The 2020 Journey seats seven people in three rows. The first two rows have enough head- and legroom to accommodate most adults, but the third row is tight, even for kids. Some reviewers also find that the rearmost seats are stiff.

Standard seating features:

• Cloth upholstery

Available seating features:

• Leather upholstery
• Six-way power-adjustable driver’s seat
• Heated front seats
• Heated steering wheel

How Many Child Car Seats Fit in the 2020 Dodge Journey?

This Dodge has two complete sets of LATCH connectors for the second-row outboard seats. The second-row middle seat has a lower anchor and a tether, plus the ability to borrow a lower anchor from the passenger-side seat. There are no tethers for the third row.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave this LATCH system the second-lowest rating of Marginal for its ease of use. The tethers are hard to find and easily confused for other hardware, the middle anchor is hard to maneuver around, and the driver-side lower anchors are set deeply in the seats.

2020 Dodge Journey Features

Like other Dodge and Jeep vehicles, the Journey comes with the Uconnect infotainment system. It’s easy to use and has a responsive touch screen along with handy physical controls. However, there are fewer features than you’ll get with rivals, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not available.

• Standard infotainment features: a 4.3-inch touch screen, a six-speaker stereo, and a USB port
• Available infotainment features : an 8.4-inch touch screen, a six-speaker premium stereo, satellite radio, navigation, Bluetooth, and a rear-seat entertainment system with a 9-inch display
• Additional standard features: dual-zone manual climate control, push-button start, and proximity keyless entry
• Other available features: remote start, tri-zone automatic climate control, and a sunroof

The ancient 2020 dodge journey is worth skipping in favor of almost any other new crossover suv, and many used ones..

The 2020 Dodge Journey remains on sale after more than a decade since its last redesign. By keeping the Journey around largely unchanged since 2009, Dodge has stretched out the Journey to the limits of patience. It’s been surpassed by every new crossover SUV to come along in those years; its safety is a particular concern.

With an overall score of 3.3 out of 10, the 2020 Journey is one of our lowest-rated vehicles. ( Read more about how we rate cars .)

For 2020, the Journey lineup is simplified to just two models, the SE Value trim and Crossroad. Also gone is the 3.6-liter V-6 engine as well as the option for all-wheel drive, which leaves just an anemic 4-cylinder under the hood and front-wheel drive. Rear parking sensors are now standard. A popular equipment package adds Bluetooth with voice command, tri-zone climate control, a power driver’s seat, cloth upholstery, and more to the SE Value trim and navigation, premium sound, and heated front seats and steering wheel to the Crossroad trim.

With the V-6 killed off, the Journey’s only engine is an overworked 2.4-liter inline-4 with 172 horsepower and front-wheel drive. An ancient 4-speed automatic sloshes through the gears, and while ride quality is fine, gas mileage (21 mpg combined) and handling leave a lot to be desired.

Besides its low price, the Journey’s only redeeming quality is its versatile interior, which offers surprising space and room for up to seven occupants in a compact package, though the third row is best used only for children.

Crash test scores negate its appeal as a cheap new family vehicle, however, with poor frontal scores from both the federal government and IIHS. Automatic emergency braking is nowhere to be found, and a rearview camera was only added when the government required it.

2020 Dodge Journey Styling

The 2020 dodge journey is as uninspiring to look at as it is to operate..

The 2020 Dodge Journey looks like a vehicle from 2009 with some more modern bits tacked on, because that’s exactly what it is. We give it 3 out of 10 here.

While it received a refresh around 7 years ago, the Journey’s styling is stale. At one point it was almost attractive, with a boxy exterior and off-road flourishes that were Subaru-esque, but every competitor has since surpassed it with more modern and more attractive looks.

The interior is similarly dated but is inoffensive at the very least. With black plastic and cloth as far as the eye can see, it’s also dark and dreary, but the optional front-and-center infotainment system is quite literally a bright spot.

2020 Dodge Journey Performance

The 2020 dodge journey is somehow worse than last year with the option for a v-6 and all-wheel-drive no longer available..

With the V-6 and all-wheel drive no longer available, the 2020 Dodge Journey is even less compelling than it was last year. We give it 2 out of 10 here.

We’re not sure why Dodge did away with the V-6, all-wheel-drive Journey, as it was the more popular model for all except rental fleets. Buyers are left with an anemic 2.4-liter inline-4 with 173 horsepower and 166 pound-feet of torque, hardly enough to motivate the Journey’s 4,000-pound husk. What’s worse is the 4-speed automatic—ceven lowly micro cars like the Mitsubishi Mirage feature at least 5 gears—that somehow manages to be both sluggish and unmatched to the engine. Front-wheel drive is the only configuration now that all-wheel drive is gone, again limiting the Journey’s value proposition.

Ride quality is fine, but steering and body control feel as outdated as the platform. Nearly any other crossover offers a better driving experience.

2020 Dodge Journey Comfort & Quality

The 2020 dodge journey is one of the few compact crossover suvs that can fit seven people, one of its few redeeming qualities..

Perhaps the 2020 Dodge Journey’s best quality other than its base price is the spacious interior with room for seven occupants. As such, we give it 6 out of 10, but would be remiss not to mention its questionable material quality in places.

The Journey is comfortable up front and in the middle row for four adults, and while front passenger seat occupants don’t get height adjustment, the rear seat does slide fore and aft. There’s also a third-row seat that’s best suitable for children, but at least the Journey offers seating for up to seven in a compact package, something only a handful of crossover SUVs can claim.

Up to 67.6 cubic feet of cargo room is available with both rear rows folded flat, but only 10.7 cubes are usable with the third-row seat in place, so make everyone pack light if you plan a road trip with more than five people.

The Journey also features decent room for small item storage, including convenient and covert bins under the second row’s floor. Material quality is OK, but hard plastics cover a lot of territory, and some interior trim has poor fit.

2020 Dodge Journey Safety

The 2020 dodge journey is one of the least safe new vehicles you can buy..

The 2020 Dodge Journey just isn’t up to modern safety standards, full stop. For that, we give it a low score of 2 out of 10.

The NHTSA gives the Journey four stars out of five overall, which sounds OK at first, but comes with the caveat that nearly every one of the Journey’s competitors gets five stars. The IIHS is similarly concerned with its frontal crash test scores, giving a “Poor” rating for the small front overlap test on the driver’s side and another “Poor” for the halogen headlights.

Arguably worse is the fact that Dodge has never bothered to fit the Journey with any active safety features like automatic emergency braking, and only added rear parking sensors to the standard-equipment list this year.

Used Dodge Journey for sale near

2020 dodge journey features, the 2020 dodge journey is somewhat well-equipped but is missing some desirable features..

Generally, old cars come with plenty of features to enhance their value. That’s not the case with the 2020 Dodge Journey, which gets 3 out of 10 here.

Beyond its lack of safety equipment and the removal of the V-6 engine option as well as all-wheel-drive, the 2020 Journey doesn’t offer much in the way of options. Down to two trims for this year—SE Value and Crossroad—the Journey includes automatic headlights, power mirrors, 17-inch steel wheels with plastic covers, power features, cloth upholstery, manually-adjusted seats, and a 4.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system. It’s cheap, sure, but you’ll want the popular equipment package, which adds tri-zone climate control, Bluetooth, satellite radio, a six-way power driver’s seat, and a few more features.

The Crossroad trim adds LED taillights, off-road styling cues, 19-inch aluminum wheels, the second-row in-floor storage bins, a power sunroof, leather seats with a mesh insert, and a superior 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system that includes Bluetooth but not Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, curiously. The popular equipment package for the Crossroad model includes remote start, heated front seats and steering wheel, navigation, and a premium audio system.

Both trims come in below $30,000, but we’d have almost any used crossover for the same price before the Journey.

2020 Dodge Journey Fuel Economy

The 2020 dodge journey earns subpar epa ratings..

The 2020 Dodge Journey still isn’t efficient despite getting rid of its more powerful and thirstier powertrain. We give it 4 out of 10 here.

The front-drive 4-cylinder Journey earns EPA ratings of 19 mpg city, 25 highway, 21 combined. Those would be low figures for a large crossover SUV with a big, powerful V-6 engine.

Does the Dodge Journey Have Apple CarPlay?

When the Dodge Journey hit the market, more than 10 years ago, families rejoiced. It offered a unique mesh of capability and felt as though it was one part SUV and one part minivan. Fast forward to 2020, and the Dodge Journey is back for another year of production.

But the crossover competition is steep, and Dodge hasn’t made any generational changes to the Journey. Some worry the Journey is showing its age, and you may be wondering if it at least keeps up with current connectivity technologies. So, does the new 2020 Dodge Journey have Apple CarPlay?

Since not much has changed, what’s under the hood?

For drivers who enjoy the curves of the road, the @Dodge Journey GT offers a high-performance suspension for a firmer ride. pic.twitter.com/aaMl1efBmv — Dodge Cares (@dodgecares) January 24, 2020

Don’t expect any remarkable enhancements under the hood. The Dodge Journey will only offer one engine, the 2.4L I4. The 172 horsepower engine is married to a four-speed automatic transmission. In today’s performance standards, you’ll find most powertrains feature six-speed automatic transmission or more.

The Journey’s power won’t knock your socks off. It won’t save you tons in gas money either. The EPA rates the 2020 Dodge Journey with a combined 21 mpg, which isn’t terribly impressive. You’ll also lose AWD options for the Journey in 2020.

What’s it like on the inside?

The Dodge Journey is one of the very few compact crossovers with third-row seating as standard. New this year, Dodge narrows the trim levels down to two – SE Value and Crossroad.

There are roomy cargo options, with plenty of fold-flat capabilities. With all seats in the upright positions, you’ll have a limited 10.7 cubic feet of space behind the third row. Folded to a flat position will provide 37 cubic feet. Fold the second row into the stowed position, and you’ll enjoy 67.6 cubic feet of storage area behind the front seats.

Dodge Journey technology and infotainment features

Considering the Dodge Journey is relatively unchanged for 10 straight years, you’re probably wondering if the tech and infotainment are up to par. The base model will provide you with a 4.3-inch touchscreen and entry-level audio extras.

Upgrades can add in SiriusXM radio, a CD player, auxiliary and USB ports. If you want the 8.4-inch screen, navigation, Uconnect (voice command), and Bluetooth connectivity, you can only enjoy those with Crossroad models. Adding in the extras is easier this year with Dodge bundling the options into a suite they call the Popular Equipment Group .

Will the Dodge Journey to get a performance-focused replacement in 2022? https://t.co/AeBjSpkCB3 pic.twitter.com/ZQc9xP167r — Autoblog (@therealautoblog) November 25, 2019

What about Apple CarPlay connectivity?

Even at the highest-level trim, neither Apple CarPlay nor Android Auto are part of the configurations. This may be a deal-breaker for many consumers.

Having the ability to make and receive both calls and texts, all hands-free and with voice command, is more than a luxury. It’s safe driving. Many competitors offer both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as base-level standard features these days. For anyone considering a Dodge Journey, you’ll have to pursue aftermarket install options or forgo the connectivity tech altogether.

Does the Dodge Journey have driver assistance features?

The short answer is yes. The 2020 Dodge Journey does offer a few driver aids. Every trim level configuration, including the base model, will come standard with a backup camera and parking sensors.

However, if you’re looking for adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, or lane-keeping assistance, you won’t find any of them available for the Journey.

It’s not all bad, and for many on a budget with several passengers to haul, the Dodge Journey is a perfect fit. It’s still, hands-down, the most affordable crossover out there with three rows. You’ll notice the price tag is thousands less than others in its segment.

The SE Value trim level starts at $24,990, and the well-equipped Crossroad is only $30,090. But remember, you will get what you pay for when you drive a Journey off the lot. You’ll forgo some of the fun tech and extras that almost every other SUV offers, including the Apple CarPlay connectivity .
