VERSATILITY, safety, loads of storage and seating flexibility are all features of the Dodge Journey series recently released in Australia.
Seven-passenger seating is standard on all models. Powertrain options include petrol and diesel and an all-new dual-clutch automatic transmission.
The all-new Dodge Journey is engineered to meet life’s changing demands by offering a unique combination of versatility and flexibility in a sporty design package. It takes on the practicality of a people mover, the flexibility of an SUV and the overall efficiency of a passenger car.
Chrysler managing director Gerry Jenkins said that the Journey design appealed to the active life styler’s expectations and they would be exceeded with so many user friendly amenities.
“This is a unique vehicle that will appeal to a crowd of consumers who want a reasonably priced, fuel efficient vehicle with seven seats today - not tomorrow,” he said.
The powertrain choices for Dodge Journey have Australian customers in mind – a 2.7-litre V6 petrol engine linked to a six speed automatic transmission, which is standard across the range.
Also on offer is a two-litre turbo diesel engine matched to a Chrysler-Getrag produced six-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission.
“Offering Journey to the Australian market was an easy decision - seven seats, six airbags, ESP, automatic transmission and Dodge good looks are all standard across the range,” said Jenkins.
Clever, flexible seating and storage combinations include standard seven-passenger seating with spacious cargo room and all the safety equipment consumers expect from Dodge.
Spacious storage bins, hidden in the floor and under the front passenger seat cushion, combined with two fuel-efficient powertrain options, make Dodge Journey flexible and functional.
