U.S. News Rating

Although the Dodge Journey was new for 2009, reviewers were unsatisfield with the base engine’s performance and the crossover’s cheap-feeling interior. They appreciated the Journey's spacious cabin and good fuel economy, however.

2009 Dodge Journey Overview

The 2009 Journey was Dodge’s first attempt at a crossover, and when it was new, test drivers said Dodge got a few things right. They thought the SUV’s interior was roomy and pleasant, with lots of family-friendly features. They also praised the base four-cylinder engine for getting good gas mileage. However, the available V6 engine has a big appetite at the pump, and all-wheel drive isn’t available with the base engine. Additionally, the available third-row seats aren’t very comfortable. Reviewers also wrote that the Journey’s interior felt cheap and low-quality when compared with most other 2009 compact SUVs. Overall, the Journey isn’t a bad crossover for families, but rivals offer better performance.

The base Dodge Journey comes with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive, but was available with a more-powerful 3.5-liter V6 paired with either front- or all-wheel drive. The base Journey SE is fairly well-equipped, with seating for five, a tilt and telescoping steering wheel and a six-speaker, six-disc CD audio system with an auxiliary input jack. Higher SXT and R/T trims offer an available third row, and can come with more upscale features like a six-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, leather-trimmed seats and a universal garage door opener.

Other Cars to Consider

If you’re let down by the Journey’s performance and can make do without a third-row seat, consider the 2009 Mazda CX-7 . Reviewers agreed that the CX-7 is one of the best-handling SUVs in its class, noting that the available turbocharged four-cylinder engine makes the CX-7 particularly fun to drive. The CX-7’s safety scores aren’t as impressive as the Journey’s.

The 2009 Ford Escape outshines the Journey with better performance and good fuel economy. Like the CX-7, the Escape won’t meet your needs if you’re considering the Journey for its available third row. However, the Escape comes close to matching the Journey’s safety score.

2009 Dodge Journey First Drive

Dodge serves up a transition utility vehicle.

Dodge's recent car and car-based offerings—yes, including the hot new Challenger —have given us little hope that the brand would get a clue. But just as we started preparing to number Dodge's days, it has shown us a shiny new crossover called the Journey, ready to do battle in a crowded—but white-hot—market. And it enters with a decent amount of ammo.

Yet Another Crossover, Yet Another Spin

Since for all intents and purposes the Journey is yet another mid-size crossover with few truly unique qualities, we figure Dodge wanted to come up with another way to pitch it. So here it is: This, friends, is the vehicle for people whose lives are in "transition." No, not the wigs-and-heels kind of transition, but the one that occurs when guys have kids but don't want to shed their dignity by driving a frumpy minivan, or the kind that happens to couples whose kids are shedding them but who aren't ready to ditch the versatility they've became used to with their minivans (and who may be ready for their dignity to return).

How well will the Journey serve these, uh, transistites? Reasonably well, we think—and indeed, it should even please many families not finding themselves going through "the change," provided it's features they're looking for and not thrilling performance or standout styling.

We'll get to the performance thing in a bit, but for the record, we have no problem with the styling. In fact, the Journey is a relatively good-looking vehicle with a solid stance, an elegant tapered greenhouse, and a square-jawed mug. Basically, it appears to be a tall, stretched Avenger , which is more or less what it is. Sure, it breaks little ground, which will make causing a splash in the crowded crossover segment a challenge, but few folks in this segment are looking to make waves.

Action-Packed Features List

Besides, who wouldn't appreciate such handy features as theater-style seating, a window line low enough for children in back to see out, an optional emergency-size split third-row seat for carpool day (on SXT and R/T models), available rear-seat entertainment, and integrated booster-seat cushions in the second-row bench, which slides fore-and-aft nearly five inches?

Other nifty bits include a telescoping steering wheel (something all too rare among domestic offerings), LED interior lighting, Bluetooth connectivity, double-decker glove boxes with an air-conditioned upper section, and the optional voice-activated MyGIG infotainment system, which takes a bit of time to master but, once figured out, works pretty well. It's too bad the radio faceplate is located down at knee level, requiring the driver not only to take his or her eyes off the road but also to literally turn and look down to decipher the small graphics. Interestingly, navigation-equipped MyGIGs come with a separate screen at the top of the dash that displays the map in what is otherwise a covered storage bin.

But wait, there's more! The second-row seats slide and fold forward for third-row access in a one-handed operation, and the third-row seatbacks split, fold forward, or recline up to six degrees. The rear doors open nearly 90 degrees for ease of entry and loading, and there's a clever concealed storage area under the front-passenger seat cushion.

But the most unique aspect of the vehicle by far: the standard, removable underfloor cooler/storage bins that can hold a dozen cans of soda—on ice—without leaking. Younger transistites can fill them with baby toys, Cheerios, and baby bottles. Elders can fill them with gardening tools, golf balls, or even a cooked casserole (one of Chrysler's engineers swears his wife did exactly that over the holidays). Wigs and heels will also fit. We were sold even before we got in.

Subpar Materials

But, alas, once we did climb aboard, our enthusiasm slipped away as if someone had left our cake out in the rain. We bemoaned several quality-related and ergonomic missteps besides the radio's egregious location, including the shifter's equally weird placement at the leading edge of the armrest and A-pillars as thick as tree trunks.

The front head restraints angle too far forward. The instrument cowl has a fun retro style to it—think '80s-vintage LeBarons—but the lack of graining on the plastic stands out as much as the cheeky design.

Finally, like so many recent Chrysler products, there's a serious overreliance on hard, poorly cut plastics. To Dodge's credit, the Journey's interior is much better than that of the Avenger—at least in upper trim levels, thanks to a tasteful sprinkling of chrome. But that's not saying a whole lot, and in base form, the deletion of the brightwork creates an ambience about as cheerful as a prison cell fashioned from Tupperware.

Drives Like, Well, a Tall Avenger

Whereas the Avenger comes with a choice of three powertrain combos, the Journey uses just two of these. The base SE is offered only with the 173-hp, 2.4-liter inline-four mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. Although no featherweight at 3800 pounds, the SE is the lightest of all Journeys, and to its credit, the four-banger isn't as slow to accelerate as we expected, but based on the noise it made, it seemed none too pleased to be assigned such a task.

The mid-grade SXT and top-of-the-line R/T models come standard with the Avenger's best combo, a 235-hp V-6 paired with a six-speed automatic with manumatic control. Topped out, the R/T with all-wheel drive and a third-row seat—which was the only other version we got a chance to sample on our brief preview drive—adds more than 500 pounds to the SE's base weight, and thus it didn't feel dramatically quicker under full throttle (nor was it much quieter). The V-6 would have a much better time handling the vehicle's weight when full of cargo and/or passengers—and is the only model rated to tow a 3500-pound trailer (the SE can only pull 1000 pounds)—making the upgrade from the SE seem more than worth it. And to its credit, the fuel-economy penalty is only about 10-to-20 percent (19/25 for the SE compared with 16/23 for the front-wheel-drive V-6 and 15/22 for the all-wheel-drive V-6).

Dodge's planned drive involved gloriously scenic but agonizingly benign roads in state parks east of Las Vegas, offering us few—okay, absolutely zero—opportunities to discover the edge of the Journey's dynamic capabilities. Still, we kicked it up as much as we could and found that it transitions about as well as anyone in transition probably needs. Steering is true if not too crisp, even with the supposed "performance" steering of the R/T. Ditto the brakes—capable but unremarkable—and the ride quality mimics that of the car on which it is based, which is to say it is pretty comfortable, even with the R/T's performance suspension and 19-inch wheels.

We'd tell you more if we'd had a more thorough drive. Check back soon, as we plan to put the Journey through a full battery of tests once we get it off the leash and onto more challenging roads.

Little Price Advantage over Competitors

The Journey SE's $19,985 base price seems attractive—and is only a few hundred bucks more than the Avenger's—undercutting competitors such as the Hyundai Santa Fe and Toyota RAV4 by about a grand. However, add a few options, and the Journey's price rises quickly and steeply to more than $35,000 for an R/T with all-wheel drive and navigation. That's right up there with the Honda Pilot and Mazda CX-9 , both vehicles we'd much rather have in our driveways.

Dodge, Time for Your Transition

We hope that, like its intended customers, Dodge under new ownership goes through a transition of its own to include more products that are as relevant as the Journey. But we need to see better interior materials and more thrilling dynamics if we expect Dodge's best years to be ahead of it and not in the past.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
