A newer model for Dodge, the midsize Journey is essentially a tall station wagon. The Journey can haul up to seven passengers, although the standard configuration seats five. Most Journey models are powered by a 3.6l V6 engine, but a 2.4L I-4 is offered on the entry trim levels. Four cylinder models are equipped with a 4-speed automatic, while the V6 models equip a 6-speed automatic. The Journey is available in FWD or with on-demand AWD. As a five passenger wagon, the Journey has significantly less legroom in the first two rows than the Subaru Outback. For three row seating (a $1000 option on most models), the Journey has 12 inches less legroom than the Grand Caravan. With the new value pricing of the Grand Caravan, Dodge's own minivan is a better value for a large family.
