What Our Members Are Saying about the Available Features of the 2015 Dodge Journey

2015 Dodge Journey Available Features: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2016 4dr SUV 283-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
There are a couple of unique features that really sold the Journey to my wife and I that I simple didn't see on any other vehicle we considered:
  • 2nd row in floor storage bins - each bin is just big enough to fit a 12 pack of soda in. When closed, you'd never know these bins are there. Killer app is that the bins have a plastic insert you can remove so that if you store something dirty or wet in these bins, you don't have to worry about making a mess as you can easy clean them out afterwards.
  • 2nd row built-in booster seats - in both outboard seats, the seat cushion can be made to fold up into a booster. It not only eliminates the burden of having to carry one around all of the time, it also permits you to take a friend along without needing to worry about another carseat for them. When not acting as a booster, you'd have no idea the seats were equipped with this feature. Only other vehicle I'm aware of that has these is the Volvo XC70 which is considerably more expensive nor offers a 3rd row.
  • Fold flat front passenger seat - I suspect we've all made the occasional run to IKEA or Home Depot and needed to take home something awkwardly long. As the Journey's front passenger seat can fold flat in-line with a folded 2nd and 3rd row, you can easily take advantage of the full length of the interior.
  • Front seat passenger storage - The other trick the front passenger seat performs is that you can open it up to reveal a storage compartment within the seat itself. As with the other hidden storage areas, it doesn't compromise comfort or aesthetics.
  • 3rd row seat - Obviously not unique among SUVs, though it is fairly unique among SUVs of this size. While not a place I'd choose to spend a lot of time, it works great to take a larger group to dinner and save the trouble of needing to take two separate vehicles just because you have 5/6/7 people going. 3rd rows as tested during an auto show in the Nissan Rogue or Mitsubishi Outlander as noticably smaller and inferior. Kia Sorento's is noticably more accomodating, however.

6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
As this vehicle dates to 2008, with a refresh in 2011, there are a couple of features simple not available from the Journey that many its competitors do offer, at least on higher end trims:
  • Panaramic sunroof
  • Full power seats (recline is manual on both front seats)
  • Cooled seats
  • Memory seats
  • Power tailgate
  • Blind spot monitoring
  • Dynamic cruise control / automatic braking
