Dodge
The 2010 Dodge Journey redefines the expanding mid-size crossover segment, offering seven-passenger seating, safety and security, cargo flexibility and great all-weather driving capability. Add in its youthful, sporty look, fun-to-drive dynamics, innovative features and 25-mpg highway fuel-efficiency, and Dodge Journey gives customers the complete value package.
With unique seating and best-in-class storage solutions, Dodge Journey is designed to meet the needs of many customers-ranging from young singles, couples and families with small children to mature families-who want the capability to do more. Designed from the ground up, Dodge Journey is a right-sized crossover that combines the versatility of a larger sport-utility vehicle with the efficiency of a passenger car.
With the simple turn of a lever, Dodge Journey's available 5+2-passenger-seating system quickly folds the Tilt 'n Slide(TM) second-row seat cushion upward and slides the entire seat forward, allowing third-row passengers easy in-and-out access. Two available integrated child booster seats, a first in the mid-size crossover segment, quickly pull out from the second-row seat cushion, eliminating the need to transport bulky child seats. Spacious storage bins, including the Flip 'n Stow(TM) front-passenger seat concealed storage bin, Chill Zone(TM) glove box beverage cooler and second-row dual in-floor storage bins with liners are easy to reach.
In-vehicle technologies include Uconnect Navigation with a 30-gigabyte hard drive with voice commands, iPod(R) Control, Uconnect Phone and real-time traffic monitoring. Rear-seat passengers will enjoy the available rear-seat entertainment system with a nine-inch screen, two wireless headphones and available SIRIUS Backseat TV(TM).
