2018 Dodge Journey Is the Most Affordable 3-Row SUV
The three-row SUV class has gotten incredibly competitive in the last few years, as families hunt for a kid-friendly large crossover that can still look sleek and youthful. Among them all, though, the Dodge Journey consistently stands out as the best value for the money--the new 2018 Journey is the only midsize 3-row crossover that has a starting price under $24,000. Trim levels for 2018 model include the Journey SE, SXT, Crossroad, and the GT.
Sleek, Modern Minimalism
Dodge has mastered the art of minimalism in the Dodge Journey--where upper levels enthusiastically offer niceties like leather upholstery, heated front seats, premium audio, larger touchscreens, and more soft-touch materials, the base model pays homage to the bare necessities that are sometimes really nice to have. Controls are easy to use and conveniently-located, and it's the perfect fit for drivers who just want a cabin that just plain works.

Style for the Long Haul
The 2018 Dodge Journey boasts a style that's clean and timeless--in fact, Dodge designers haven't had to really tweak with the exterior styling at all. Its signature grille at the front is a little more compact than that of its larger brother, the Durango, but it's well balanced by large, aggressive headlights and a lower air intake.
Practical and Potent
For the utmost practicality and efficiency, the 2018 Dodge Journey lineup comes standard with front-wheel drive, though Dodge's all-wheel-drive system is available for Maine drivers who need a boost of added capability. A standard 173-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine powers most Journey SUVs, and a 283-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 engine, paired to a six-speed automatic transmission, provides added muscle as an option. With the V6 equipped, the Journey can tow up to 2,500 pounds.
Stay Connected
The 2018 Journey is fairly minimally-equipped at the base level to keep costs low for drivers who don't particularly need the bells and whistles that are being put into modern cabins; but, the base SE does come standard with a smartphone-sized touchscreen that can connect to audio with USB and aux cables. You can, however, upgrade to a Uconnect 8.4-inch touchscreen, and top-level Dodge Journey models even offer an available rear-seat entertainment system.
