2016 Dodge Journey review

1. Third-row seating 

If you’re looking for a third-row seating option but don’t want a large, bulky minivan, consider the 2016 Dodge Journey to meet your needs. It’s easy to put kids in car seats in any of the second-row seats if you need to. Most adults will find the first five seats comfortable and children will do well in the third row. 

 2. V6 engine 

The 3.6L V6 with a six-speed automatic transmission produces 283 hp and is an option to look for on the 2016 Journey trims. A four-cylinder engine is standard. This Journey is easy to maneuver, so it’s great for city drivers and the V6 option makes it easy for those who have to hop on highways and want some zip while passing. The optional V6 has good performance on hills as well. 

3. Lots of options 

Look out for options like a rearview camera, rear parking sensors, heated front seats, and leather upholstery. Some trims have the e and power moonroof features for when you want a little bit more light and air in the cabin. Other options to look for on these vehicles are dual-zone automatic climate control and aluminum wheels. 

4. Solid driving in the snow 

This vehicle has features that allow for it to be a good vehicle if you live in an area that gets snow. If you have an AWD trim, and the V6 engine, plowing through most snowy conditions without shoveling should be pretty easy if you have to get on the road. Opt for a trim that features heated seats and a heated steering wheel for an even more enjoyable driving experience during inclement weather. 

 5. Storage throughout 

The 2016 Dodge Journey has 39.6 cu-ft of space behind the seats if you have a two-row model and 10.7 cu-ft behind the seats then the third row is in use. If you need to pick up a large order or have work equipment to stash, you’ll be happy to know that putting all the seats down gives you about 86 cu-ft of space. Thoughtful touches like cubby holes in the floor make this a great choice for families.
