Performance Capabilities of the New Dodge Journey Crossover SUV

The new Dodge Journey has the look of a sporty off-road vehicle that can handle driving across the Arizona desert or maneuvering through the streets of Peoria. For vehicles of this sort, we may tend to view them as powerful but inefficient concerning fuel costs. The EPA estimates that the Dodge Journey can travel up to 500 miles on a single tank of fuel, however, which is partially the result of its MPG highway rating in the high 20s. So the new Journey Crossover is fuel efficient, but is it also powerful? Well, sitting behind the Journey’s distinctive cross-shaped grille is an available 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 engine that generates an astounding 283 horsepower while working in tandem with an optional six-speed automatic transmission. Alternatively, if your goal for driving a Journey is less about speed and high-performance and more about meeting your daily driving needs like picking up groceries or dropping the kids off at school, you may be interested in the standard 2.4-liter 16-valve 4-cylinder engine. If you want to get a more personal understanding the this vehicle’s performance, then feel free to test-drive any of our new Dodge Journey models for sale or lease at Larry H. Miller Dodge RAM today.
