For 2020, the midsize Dodge Journey benefits from moderate changes and a simplified lineup.
Both Journey trims, the SE Value and Crossroad, include seating for 7 passengers, keyless access and start, and a 4.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Premium cloth seating is standard, as is an 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, voice commands, satellite radio, and Bluetooth connectivity. Additional standard equipment includes a power driver’s seat, tri-zone climate control, navigation, a premium audio system, LED taillights, a security alarm, remote start, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel are all available.
Last year’s V6 option was shown the door for 2020, leaving just the 2.4-liter inline 4-cylinder engine. It develops 172 horsepower and 165 pound-feet of torque and partners with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Unfortunately, the disappearance of the V6 also removes the Journey’s all-wheel-drive (AWD) capability, so all models come exclusively with front-wheel drive (FWD). That said, fuel economy is the same as last year with the 4-cylinder: 19 mpg city, 25 highway, and 21 combined.
Safety-wise, every Journey comes with a full set of airbags and a reversing camera. But that’s where the technology ends: there’s no crash-avoidance technology, blind-spot monitoring, or adaptive cruise control. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) wasn’t exactly enamored with it either, awarding it poor marks for small overlap crash safety and headlights back in 2019.
The Dodge Journey represents a unique value proposition. But if you’re looking for a more current vehicle, we recommend waiting for a redesign.
I went to start my car and break is stiff, service park assist in on and check engine light is on. No battery light that I have been able to find. I've tried the 5x pressing the start button and was able to get it into N and still wouldn't start. ????
Hey guys! So you all have helped me in the past and im hoping to get some answers this time as well. So I have a 2020 Dodge journey I am the only owner and I have had it since July of 2020. So I've had it 1 year and 1 month. My problem is when I go to visit my mom I have to back up her hill...well I've not had any issues until now...as I am backing up her hill I get half way and the pedal is on the floor and it just quits moving...wheels are not spinning...engine is still on and no lights are on the dash...any ideas or experience with this? It has worked perfectly until this issue. Thanks in advance !
I have a 2020 Dodge Journey Crossroad. I can touch the door handle on the passenger side and all the locks unlock including the trunk. But when I touch the handle on the driver's side, only the driver's door unlocks. Is this normal?
