“The Dodge Journey is the perfect ‘right-sized’ vehicle for families who don’t want the look of a traditional people carrier but need the functionality and utility of a seven seat MPV, the versatility of a larger sport-utility vehicle with the fuel efficiency of a family saloon," Federico Goretti, Chrysler UK managing director said in a release.
The entry level Journey is the SE, powered by a 2.4l petrol engine. The version comes equipped with 16-inch steel wheels, tire pressure monitoring, power-folding and heated door mirrors, electric windows and six-disc CD with MP3 compatible sound system, all as standard. As a novelty, Chrysler added a second-row integrated child booster seats, odour and stain repel cloth and cruise control.
The SXT, which starts at £19,990, adds six way power driver seat, lumbar adjustment, fog lamps and 17 inch alloy wheels. The top of the range R/T starts at £21,990 and features, in addition to the SXT specs, leather-trimmed seats and 19 inch alloy wheels, uconnect phone with voice recognition, a hands-free communication system using Bluetooth technology, iPod connectivity and roof crossbars.
"The Journey further strengthens its customer appeal by offering high levels of standard equipment at a very competitive price, great fuel economy and an image that makes it stand out from its competitors in the mid-sized MPV market,” Goretti concluded.
