2015 Dodge Journey Crossroad

The Journey is Dodge's seven-seat crossover, a roomier alternative to the Grand Caravan for families who want an SUV. It drives like a tall wagon, with a smooth ride and light steering that make it easy to maneuver around town. Inside, the big touchscreen controls most features, but the third row is tight for adults and the plastic trim feels cheap. The middle and rear rows fold flat, opening up a lot of cargo space for hauling gear or furniture. The Crossroad adds unique dark-finish wheels and gloss-black exterior accents that the SXT doesn't offer, giving it a more rugged look. With the 3.6L V6 making 283 horsepower and all-wheel drive, the Journey feels confident on wet roads or light gravel, though the 19 mpg combined fuel economy is a trade-off for that all-weather traction.
