2016 Dodge Journey Performance Review

Critics report that the base engine in the 2016 Dodge Journey is noisy and weak. Most prefer the available V6 engine, though some argue that it also fails to impress. Many test drivers say the Journey’s handling is controlled, with good maneuverability, but some think it feels unbalanced around corners. The Journey offers below-average fuel economy for the class.

• Performance 6.8

2016 Journey Photos

• "Those accustomed to older, truck-based SUVs will be quite pleased with the way Dodge's Journey crossover SUV for 2016 rides and drives. A unit body and advanced suspension setup help the Journey return car-like driving characteristics similar to a tall-riding station wagon, which is essentially what the Journey is." -- Kelley Blue Book
• "Along with this lack of power comes a disappointing driving experience." -- Edmunds (2015)
• "Underneath, the Journey is related to the Dodge Avenger sedan, and it shares that car's soft, quiet ride on the highway." -- AutoTrader (2015)

Acceleration and Power

The 2016 Dodge Journey comes standard with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that puts out 173 horsepower and it's mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. A 283-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission is available. The Journey earns an EPA-estimated 19/26 mpg city/highway, which is among the worst ratings in the class.

The Journey’s base engine provides insufficient power and makes too much noise, according to test drivers. They note that the optional V6 engine provides more power, but they still consider it unremarkable. Both engines underwhelm reviewers when trying to pass at highway speeds, and the fuel economy also disappoints, due in part to the outdated four-speed transmission.

• "Although we found the 173-horsepower 4-cylinder engine adequate with two people aboard, any additional bodies or cargo demands the Pentastar V6, which delivers an additional 100 horsepower and nearly the same fuel economy." -- Kelley Blue Book
• "Even though there are two available engines, neither is exceptional. The standard four-cylinder comes paired to an archaic four-speed automatic transmission and doesn't get the kind of fuel economy we've come to expect from class-leading crossovers, and it is lackluster at best for providing passing power." -- Edmunds (2015)
• "… the base powertrain is a 2.4-liter inline-4 that generates unpleasant noises and lackluster acceleration, especially as it is paired with an unrefined, efficiency-sapping 4-speed automatic transmission." -- AutoTrader (2015)

Handling and Braking

Front-wheel drive is standard on the 2016 Journey, and all-wheel drive is available. Most test drivers agree that the Journey provides decent handling, although some feel that it can be unstable when cornering. They add that it provides a smooth, composed ride, even over bumpy roads. Some critics note that rival midsize SUVs offer more engaging performance.

• "Confident on highway runs and surprisingly agile over narrow, twisting roads, the Journey is devoid of the bobbing and weaving one might experience in a truck-based SUV." -- Kelley Blue Book
• "The Journey's high driving position and angled steering column may bring school buses to mind. Fortunately, the Journey's dynamics are much better, as this car-based crossover has no trouble navigating rutted roads and tight streets." -- AutoTrader (2015)
• "Driven around turns at a decent clip, the Journey suffers from quite a bit of body roll that saps driver confidence. All of our favorites in this class provide more engagement and stability." -- Edmunds (2015)
• "Also part of the recent update were a number of chassis enhancements that equate to quicker transient responses and a more controlled ride." -- Left Lane News (2015)

2013 Dodge Journey V-6 AWD

The Journey’s about-face was nearly as dramatic as the Chrysler comeback that followed. The new Dodge crossover wasn’t just better—it was actually good. But it wasn’t until a 2013 Dodge Journey arrived at our office recently that we were able to put one through our test regimen to quantify exactly how the updates affected performance.

Stick with the Six

It’s important to note that not all Journeys have been exorcised of their pre-2011 demons. The Journey’s base powertrain is an anemic 2.4-liter four-cylinder paired with an antiquated four-speed automatic—only the lowliest front-drive trims get it. Fortunately, the upgrade is Chrysler’s well-mannered and lively 3.6-liter V-6 and a six-speed automatic. Our test model, a top-of-the-line 2013 Dodge Journey R/T, also brought a stiffened suspension, 19-inch wheels, and optional all-wheel drive. (You can’t get all-wheel drive without upgrading to the V-6.)

With 283 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque moving 4280 pounds of metal, the Journey feels sprightly in traffic. The V-6 only starts to come into its element around 3500 rpm, though, so you need to commit to the gas pedal to truly enjoy this engine’s best attributes—assertive power, minimal vibration, and rapidly rising revs.

It’s too bad the gearbox it’s forced to work with is so disappointing. For one, even though it’s possible to choose your own gears to keep the six-cylinder in the burliest part of its power band, the six-speed automatic’s manual shifting mode is so unintuitive and unresponsive that it’s best ignored. The transmission also has a hard time following the driver’s directions when left in drive. Under acceleration, downshifts can be slow, abrupt, or even absent, leaving the driver waiting and wondering. At least the transmission understands the drill when charging hard off the line, helping the Journey achieve 60 mph in a quick-for-the-segment 7.1 seconds. The 2013 thus hits the mark 1.2 seconds quicker than we recorded in our only test of the slovenly, prerefresh model, a 2009 Journey R/T AWD with its 235-hp, 3.5-liter SOHC V-6.

Bigger Brakes, Shorter Stops

With our skidpad blanketed in snow, we weren’t able to test lateral grip, but around town, the all-wheel-drive system and the Kumho Solus KH16 M+S tires provided all the traction we needed whether we were on snow-covered streets or sun-soaked, dry roads. At the test track, we measured the stop from 70 mph in 172 feet, a significant 17 feet shorter than the 2009 model did on the same type of tires. The difference can be attributed to larger front and rear brake rotors adopted as part of the 2011 redesign. The only mark against the Journey’s chassis is a matter of comfort. The R/T’s 19-inch wheels, 225/55 tires, and stiffened suspension make for a brittle and busy ride on rough roads. For a family crossover that’s tasked with tackling road trips rather than road circuits, it’s an inexplicable compromise. We’d shop for a Journey in SXT or Crew trim, both of which have softer suspensions.

Practicality over Performance

The late-blooming Journey’s best attribute has always been no-nonsense practicality as a family hauler, not performance. We like its pragmatic packaging in a body that’s neither too big nor too small, its ergonomically friendly and attractive interior, and its reasonable price. (Our heavily optioned R/T nears the top of the range at $34,305, but you can get its driveline for some seven grand less.) From our first drive, we knew the Journey’s update was worth every penny spent on development. Now that we’ve strapped our test equipment to the crossover, we can also state that Dodge got its money’s worth in acceleration and braking improvements.

Full Edmunds Review: 2016 Dodge Journey SUV

For 2016, the Dodge Journey is essentially unchanged.

Edmunds says

Are you looking for an affordable crossover that has three rows of seats? The 2016 Dodge Journey could be what you want. It's family-friendly, and its modest size makes parking a cinch. Read more to find out what else about the Journey might come into play during your daily commute.

Vehicle overview

If you are like us, you may be surprised to learn that the 2016 Dodge Journey is still on sale. Other than an admittedly thorough refresh in 2011, under its skin the Journey is pretty much the same as it was when the three-row crossover debuted in 2009. During that time, the Journey's rivals have all undergone complete redesigns to remain competitive, while the Journey watches time pass from the sidelines.

Is it a wagon or a crossover? The 2016 Dodge Journey blurs the boundaries.

To its credit, the Journey does still have some positive attributes. Its suspension provides a smooth ride even over the roughest road surfaces, and that, in combination with supportive seats and a quiet interior, makes the Journey an ideal companion on long road trips. Pricing is competitive, and if you need to take on more than five passengers, the Journey is one of just a few vehicles in its price range to offer a third row of seating or an optional V6 engine.

Time has not been kind to the Journey, however. In most other aspects, it is woefully outclassed by nearly everything in the segment. Both available engines are undesirable in their own way. The base four-cylinder is unexceptional and paired with a four-speed automatic that was starting to show its age when the Journey was first released. At least you can spring for the 283-horsepower V6, which delivers smooth and reasonably swift acceleration. Either way, the Journey drives straight ahead just fine, but trundles through corners clumsily and with a considerable amount of body roll.

If you need a vehicle with three rows, you may want to consider the 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan . This minivan costs roughly the same as the Journey and offers greater functionality, with plenty of rear cargo space and enough room in the third row to comfortably seat a couple adults. If you're set on a crossover SUV, our top pick for a similarly sized crossover with three rows of seating would be the 2016 Kia Sorento . It's more expensive, but we think its up-to-date design and technology features are worth the extra expense. And if you don't absolutely need a third row, just about any small crossover will give you similar seating comfort and cargo space but with superior fuel economy and refinement.

Yes, the Dodge Journey is still around. But 2016 might be the time to finally stop believin' .

2016 Dodge Journey models

The 2016 Dodge Journey is available in five- and seven-passenger configurations. It is available in five trim levels: base SE, SXT, Crossroad, Crossroad Plus and R/T.

The SE comes standard with 17-inch steel wheels, tinted rear glass, roof rails, dual exhaust tips (V6 models only), heated mirrors, keyless entry and ignition, cruise control, dual-zone manual climate control, a height-adjustable driver seat, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a sliding and reclining second-row seat, a 4.3-inch touchscreen and a six-speaker sound system with a CD player, a USB port and an auxiliary audio jack.

Optional for the SE is the Flexible Seating package, which adds a 50/50-split third row and tri-zone manual climate control.

Moving up to the SXT adds 17-inch alloy wheels, foglights, a unique front fascia, LED taillights, body-colored exterior mirrors, dual-zone automatic climate control for front seat passengers, floor mats and the Flexible Seating package.

Moving up to the Crossroad gets you 19-inch wheels, gloss black and chrome exterior trim, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, satellite radio and a cargo net.

The Crossroad Plus trim expands upon the Crossroad's feature content by adding tri-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery with cloth inserts, a six-way power driver seat (with four-way power lumbar adjustment), a fold-flat front passenger seat with hidden storage bin, an 8.4-inch touchscreen, an in-dash DVD player and an SD card slot.

The 2016 Journey's optional 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system is one of the best you'll find at this price.

The R/T adds a V6 engine, remote engine start, monochrome exterior treatment, unique 19-inch wheels, dual exhaust tips, a sport-tuned suspension and steering wheel calibration, automatic headlights, perforated leather upholstery with red stitching, heated front seats, a premium audio system and a 115-volt power outlet.

Many of the features on the upper trim levels are available on lower trims via option packages. Other available features (depending on trim) include the Blacktop package (gloss black 19-inch wheels, grille and exterior trim), a sunroof, rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, integrated second-row child booster seats, a rear seat entertainment system and a navigation system (paired with the 8.4-inch touchscreen).

Performance & mpg

By default, the 2016 Dodge Journey SE, SXT, Crossroad and Crossroad Plus are powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 173 hp and 166 pound-feet of torque. It drives the front wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 21 mpg combined (19 city/26 highway), a decidedly subpar rating for a four-cylinder crossover.

Optional on the SE, SXT, Crossroad and Crossroad Plus but standard on the R/T is a 3.6-liter V6. It's good for 283 hp and 260 lb-ft and is matched to a six-speed automatic. Front-wheel drive is standard (except on the SE, which cannot be ordered in a FWD/V6 configuration) and all-wheel drive is optional. We recorded a 7.8-second 0-60-mph time in a front-drive, V6-equipped Journey, which is a sluggish showing given this engine's output ratings; still, the V6 gives you plenty of punch in most situations. EPA estimated fuel economy for the V6 is 19 mpg combined (17/25) with front-wheel drive and 19 mpg combined (16/24) with all-wheel drive.

Every 2016 Dodge Journey comes standard with antilock disc brakes, traction and stability control, active front head restraints, front side airbags, side curtain airbags and a driver knee airbag. Integrated second-row child booster seats are optional on every Journey. A rearview camera and rear parking sensors are available as an option on the Crossroad Plus and R/T. Features such as blind-spot monitoring and lane-departure warning are not available, however.

In Edmunds brake testing, a Journey V6 FWD came to a stop from 60 mph in 124 feet, an average performance for this class.

In the most recent government crash tests available, the Journey received four out of five stars for frontal-impact protection. In crash testing by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the Journey received the top score of "Good" in the moderate-overlap frontal-offset, side-impact and roof-strength tests. Its seat and head restraint design was also rated "Good" for whiplash protection in rear impacts. In the agency's small-overlap frontal-offset impact test, however, the Journey received the lowest rating of "Poor."

The 2016 Dodge Journey has two personalities, depending on which engine you choose. The four-cylinder engine is noisy and really doesn't have enough power to get this heavy crossover moving with any sense of urgency, especially when loaded up with passengers. The outdated four-speed automatic transmission that comes with this engine does the Journey no favors in the fuel economy department, either. Accordingly, we'd avoid the four-cylinder entirely and step up to the 3.6-liter V6, which feels potent in any situation. Unfortunately, the six-speed automatic transmission can be slow to respond when a downshift is needed.

When equipped with the optional V6, the 2016 Journey is pretty swift for what it is.

Around town, the Journey provides a smooth ride. However, the steering is on the slow side, and you might find yourself having to make more hand movements than you would otherwise prefer. When driven harder through turns, the Journey's body leans noticeably. The Journey feels heavier than other compact SUVs and solid on the open highway, even over rough surfaces, but it doesn't inspire much confidence around corners.

Though Dodge seldom has enjoyed a reputation for high-quality interiors, the 2016 Journey does boast pleasing materials and textures throughout the cabin and solid-looking assembly. The gauges and dashboard have a functional and contemporary design that wouldn't be out of place in any number of higher-priced vehicles.

The available Uconnect 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment interface is one of the best in the business. You won't find a system that's more straightforward to use or more pleasing to the eye, with large, readable typefaces and icons and sensible menus.

Families will appreciate the selection of clever storage places squirreled throughout the Journey's cabin, particularly the cubby holes in the floor. There's a fair amount of legroom behind the front seats, and the integrated child booster seats are a nice bonus. Also helping the family-oriented mission is the Journey's available third-row seat, which is bundled with a separate rear air-conditioner. This seat is far from adult-friendly, but it's handy if you need to shuttle a couple extra kids to soccer practice.

Lower all the seats and the Journey coughs up 67.6 cubic feet of total cargo capacity, which is about what you'll get from the best two-row compact crossovers.
