Analysis. By now, the Dodge Journey should have been replaced.
The Journey is the last holdout ofa platform created from Mitsubishi’s dimensions, with numerous changes, part of DaimlerChrysler’s ambition to have Mercedes, Chrysler, Mitsubishi, and Hyundai in one company. Based loosely on the Chrysler Sebring/200, it was heavily revised not long after its birth, after a corporate changeover. A new version based on the new 200 was expected, but never showed up.
Thecrossover filled in the gap left by the short-wheelbase Dodge Caravan, which was not replaced in 2008. It’s still available with the original 2.4 liter engine and with the Pentastar V6, hooked up to six-speed automatics, and is priced to sell.
We currently do not have any definitive sources on the Journey, which has been more successful (relative to overall FCA or segment sales) outside the United States than within it — including when it is sold as the Fiat Freemont. (...) →
