Dodge Journey Model Years and History

The Dodge Journey continues into 2020 essentially unchanged, though a new Popular Equipment Group option package has been introduced this year, bundling a variety of features into one place. It's available on both trim levels, though it includes additional features when ordered with the up-level Journey Crossroad trim. Meanwhile, the GT trim level and AWD option are no longer available.

The Dodge Journey continues into 2019 mostly unchanged, however Dodge have added some additional content to the base model SE, while getting rid of the SXT, which used to sit one level up from it. In addition, a new color is available, dubbed Destroyer Gray.

The Dodge Journey continues into 2018 without any substantial changes. Dodge has simplified the Journey's trim levels by removing the Crossroads Plus while offering a 3rd- row seat as standard equipment for all trim levels. The Blacktop Package features gloss-black exterior mirrors, grille, and roof-rails are also available for all trim levels with "Black Noise" 19-inch wheels.

The Dodge Journey continues on into 2017 without too many notable changes, though a new GT trim replaces the R/T at the top of the range.

The Dodge Journey continues on into 2016 without too many notable changes. The lineup has been simplified this year with only five trim levels rather than seven.

The Dodge Journey continues on into 2015 without any notable changes, though 17-inch alloy wheels are now standard rather than optional on all-wheel-drive SE models.

The Dodge Journey continues on into 2014 without any notable changes.

The Journey is essentially unchanged from 2012. Minor improvements include the SE models getting 17-inch wheels, up from 16-inch last year.

The 2012 Journey gets further refreshing following 2011's substantial update. A new entry-level style has been introduced called the American Value Package, it is offered at $18,995-- $5,500 cheaper than the next level SE. Trim names have been changed. The Journey is now available as American Value, SE, SXT, Crew and R/T. New colors are available, including Brilliant Black Crystal, Mango Tango Pearl, Brilliant Red, Blue Pearl and Copperhead Pearl.

For 2011, the Dodge Journey has been substantially changed. Revised exterior styling includes a new front fascia and larger fog lamp bezels, as well as new 19-inch wheels. Underneath, the suspension has been completely redesigned, with all-new geometry, a new steering setup and better tires--all of which combine to make for a much more solid and precise feel behind the wheel. Chrysler's Pentastar 3.6L V6 has been added to the line, replacing last year's 3.5L V6, making a full 283 horsepower. Inside, the Journey's interior has been revamped, with new materials and updated gauges based on the company's PowerNet electrical architecture, which allows for the addition of a new optional touchscreen central command center known as UConnect Touch.

Following its introduction in 2009, the 2010 Dodge Journey sees no major changes, though the 2.4L 4-cylinder is only available on SE trim. Remote keyless entry is standard, as are active head restraints on first-row rear seats, and the video screen has grown from eight inches to nine. Dark slate monochrome is a new exterior color.

Dodge's 2009 Journey is a new car-based utility vehicle--a so-called crossover vehicle--that offers the ride quality and agile handling of a small sedan, combined with the roomy, versatile interior of a sport utility vehicle. It shares mechanical underpinnings with the Dodge Avenger sedan yet is several inches longer and has third-row seating to accommodate up to seven occupants.
