American giant Dodge has confirmed that it is to launch the all-new Journey crossover this summer and prices are to start from £16,995. According to the maker the new Dodge Journey Crossover offers competitive fuel economy, masses of interior space and value for money, without compromising its bold, good looks.
It has a seating arrangement of 5+2 with the plus two seats thought only to being of real use when short trips are necessary.
When launched the car will have a choice of two engines and you can power it by a 2.4-litre petrol engine or a 2.0-litre diesel engine. The diesel engine will be available with either a manual or dual-clutch automatic gearbox.
To accommodate the family, the car includes tilt and slide second-row seats; rear doors that open to 90-degrees for easy access when installing child seats and air-conditioning that works in all three rows.
Simon Elliott, Managing Director of Chrysler UK, said: “Dodge Journey is the perfect right-sized vehicle for families that don’t want the look of a people carrier, but need the functionality and utility of an MPV. Families that need space for seven will love the flexible seating system, spacious storage bins and under-seat storage areas. Safety is also very important for these customers and with ESP and three-row side curtain airbags this really is the ideal family vehicle.”
