Apple CarPlay on Dodge Journey, how to connect

Dodge Journey supports Apple CarPlay that lets you access your iPhone apps like iTunes, Google Maps, Waze and Spotify through the touch-screen of your vehicle. You can also make phone calls, send messages or use navigation with voice commands using Siri.

Enable CarPlay and Siri on iPhone

You must have iPhone 5 or newer device with iOS 7.1 or newer version to use Apple CarPlay on Dodge Journey. Before you begin, ensure CarPlay and Siri are enabled on your iPhone. Also, make sure that the “Press Home for Siri” option is enabled under “Siri & Search” in settings.

If you can’t see CarPlay or Siri & Search under your iPhone settings, then go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps , and make sure both CarPlay and Siri & Search are enabled.

Enable CarPlay in Journey

CarPlay must be enabled in your Cherokee’s infotainment system settings if you want it to launch automatically when you connect USB. To enable CarPlay, select Apps , then Projection Manager . Check the box next to Smartphone Device Mirroring .

Connect iPhone to Journey’s USB port

• Connect your Apple iPhone to your Dodge Journey USB port using an Apple-approved Lightning-to-USB cable.
• Touch Allow on your iPhone when prompted. This allows the use of CarPlay with your Journey while phone is locked.
• CarPlay will launch automatically on the infotainment system display.

If CarPlay does not start automatically on your Journey after you plug in the USB, then touch its icon on the launch bar on home screen of the infotainment display.

If you’re unsure which USB port supports CarPlay on your particular Journey variant, then consult your vehicle’s owners manual – or you can try plugging in the cable, one by one, in all the USB ports in dashboard and center console.

CarPlay not working on Dodge Journey

If Apple CarPlay does not start on your Journey when you plug in the USB cable and there is no CarPlay icon in the list of apps in the infotainment system, it can be due to a number of reasons:

• CarPlay is disabled in your iPhone, go to ‘Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps’ and enable both CarPlay and Siri.
• The Lightning-to-USB cable you’re using is defective. Try a different cable, preferably original Apple cable.
• The connected USB port on your Journey does not support CarPlay. Try other USB ports.
• A software glitch is responsible for the CarPlay problem. Reset the Journey’s infotainment system to its factory settings.
• You’ve an older model of Journey that does not support Apple CarPlay. Only 2019 and later model year Dodge Journey vehicles are compatible with CarPlay.

Using Siri on Dodge Journey

Siri is Apple’s voice recognition feature that helps you to concentrate on the road while driving your Journey as you can control the functions of the iPhone with voice commands.

The virtual assistant allows you to place phone calls, listen to and send text messages, play music on your iPhone, get directions and use other functions of your iPhone hands-free. You can even ask Siri for current weather conditions, stock prices or upcoming events on your calendar.

To access Siri, press and hold the talk button on the steering wheel of your Journey until you hear Siri tone.

You can also access Siri by holding down the home button located at the bottom left corner in the CarPlay app.

If the Listen for “Hey Siri” function is enabled in your iPhone device under Siri & Search settings, you can also just simply say: “Hey Siri”. After hearing the audible alert, you can begin asking Siri for assistance.

For best results when using Siri, speak clearly and reduce background noise by closing the windows and moonroof. Also, direct the air vents on dashboard so that they are not pointing towards the vehicle’s microphone.

Which Journey models support CarPlay?

2019 and later model year Dodge Journey vehicles are compatible with Apple CarPlay.

Using Google Maps on Dodge Journey with CarPlay

If your iPhone has iOS 14+ operating system, you can freely use Google Maps in Apple CarPlay on your Journey. Apple now allows the use of Google Maps in the home screen. Apple has allowed the competitor’s map service in its car application since iOS 12, but the homescreen that was newly introduced in iOS 13 in 2019 could not yet be equipped with maps. Here, users were still limited to Apple’s own map service. With iOS 14 that changes. Now CarPlay automatically selects the last service used for the view.

Using Waze navigation on Dodge Journey with CarPlay

You can use Waze navigation app in CarPlay if you have iOS 12 or higher operating system installed on your iPhone. Download and install Waze app from App Store on your iPhone, then start CarPlay on your Journey’s infotainment system display. Then touch Waze icon to launch the app.

Using Spotify on Journey

You can use Spotify to stream music on your Journey. Just install the Spotify app from App Store and its icon will appear in the infotainment display when CarPlay is active.

You can use voice commands to play music hands-free on Spotify with Siri. Just add “on Spotify” at the end so that Siri knows which service you’re referring to (e.g. “Hey, Siri, play my ‘Your Mix of the Week’ playlist on Spotify”).

Siri can play songs, artists, albums, playlists, podcasts, and more. You can also “like” music, ask what’s playing, and control playback (e.g. volume, skip song, play / pause).

Do not disturb while driving

When driving, keep your eyes on the road. A quick look at the navigation device is of course allowed in order not to miss the next junction. The “Do not disturb while driving” function can be activated so that your iPhone does not distract you with unnecessary notifications while driving your Journey. iOS 13 extends this option to CarPlay as well. On your iPhone go to Settings > Do Not Disturb, then scroll down and touch “Activate” under “Do not disturb while driving”.

Not all apps are compatible with CarPlay

If you think you can use all your iPhone apps in your Dodge Journey with CarPlay, then you’re wrong. The selection of compatible applications is limited, and you have to live with restrictions, especially with messenger apps. iMessage and WhatsApp can be controlled almost exclusively via Siri. That means you cannot see your message history, but only have new messages read out to you or even dictate messages yourself.

The following apps can be used with CarPlay on your Journey, among others: Music, Phone, News, Podcasts, Audio books, Audible, Google Maps, Sygic TomTomGO, Whatsapp, calendar, Settings, Telegram, Waze, Spotify, TuneIn, Tidal, Pandora, Youtube Music and Amazon Music.

Sort apps in CarPlay

You can sort CarPlay apps in your Journey quickly and easily through your iPhone. To do this, go to Settings > General > CarPlay , then select your vehicle under “MY CARS” . On the next screen you can rearrange app icons by touching and dragging them. You can also hide icons by touching the minus button on them.

2 thoughts on “ Apple CarPlay on Dodge Journey, how to connect ”

I have a 2019 Dodge Journey, but it doesn’t have any Apple CarPlay features that I can find. I have searched through the Settings menu several times and I wasn’t able to find anything related to Apple CarPlay. Also, my display is different than yours. I don’t have an Apps option like what your article showed.

Do you know if there’s a firmware update I can get to enable Apple CarPlay on my audio system (and also fix the Bluetooth and playlist issues that exist)?

and i have a 2019 Dodge Journey, but it doesn’t have any Apple CarPlay

How-To Geek

How to add apple carplay to your car.

Simplify your commute by adding CarPlay to your dash.

Quick Links

Option 1: get an oem retrofit, option 2: replace your car's head unit, bluetooth is an option.

Apple CarPlay makes it easy to use iPhone apps like Google Maps or Spotify in your car's center console, saving you from mounting your smartphone on your windshield or dashboard. But what if your car doesn't support CarPlay?

CarPlay first appeared in 2014, and many auto manufacturers started offering iPhone connectivity around that time. Like most new features, this was an optional add-on for new cars. Many manufacturers have since made CarPlay a standard feature.

If your car was manufactured after 2014 but lacks the add-on package for CarPlay, you may be able to retrofit it using an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) upgrade. To find out for sure, contact a service center that specializes in servicing your particular brand of car.

Some manufacturers that have offered retrofits include Hyundai, Mazda, and Ford but not for all models.

The upgrade may only require a software patch to unlock CarPlay, or you may be offered the option of changing the hardware to enable the functionality. The cost of the upgrade will vary depending on what needs to be done, but you should be able to get a free quote to find out before committing.

If your car is older than 2014, your OEM doesn't offer an upgrade, or the cost of an OEM retrofit seems too much, you could also try replacing the head unit in your car. Many head units are now fully compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with additional features like compatibility with reversing cameras or object sensors often bundled in too.

The biggest hurdle you'll have to overcome is to find a head unit that's compatible with your particular make and model. Contacting a local car audio expert is the best way to find out what your options are, but it may also be the priciest.

Your options include high-end name brands like the MVH-AC251BT from Pioneer (around $450) or cheaper models like the BVCP9700A from BOSS  (around $250). If possible, head to a showroom and try a demo unit before you buy to ensure you're happy with the end result.

Pioneer MVH-AV251BT Digital Multimedia Video Receiver with 7" Hires Touch Panel Display, Apple CarPlay, Android AUT, Built-in Bluetooth, and SiriusXM-Ready (Does not Play CDs)

This Pioneer head unit is both Apple CarPlay and Android Audio ready, with built-in Bluetooth, SiriusXM compatibility, and a 7-inch high-resolution touch screen.

If you're willing to put in some research, you may find the second-hand market to be the most cost-effective option for adding CarPlay to an older vehicle. Use marketplaces like eBay and Facebook Marketplace, but remember to stay safe and avoid scams .

If your car already has Bluetooth connectivity, there's a good chance you can already use most smartphone functions wirelessly. This includes making and taking phone calls, getting turn-by-turn directions, and listening to music or podcasts.

CarPlay is a step-up though, providing a visual aid on top of existing audio integration. Once you have it, find out how you can customize the display .

Does the Dodge Journey Have Apple CarPlay?

When the Dodge Journey hit the market, more than 10 years ago, families rejoiced. It offered a unique mesh of capability and felt as though it was one part SUV and one part minivan. Fast forward to 2020, and the Dodge Journey is back for another year of production.

But the crossover competition is steep, and Dodge hasn’t made any generational changes to the Journey. Some worry the Journey is showing its age, and you may be wondering if it at least keeps up with current connectivity technologies. So, does the new 2020 Dodge Journey have Apple CarPlay?

Since not much has changed, what’s under the hood?

For drivers who enjoy the curves of the road, the @Dodge Journey GT offers a high-performance suspension for a firmer ride. pic.twitter.com/aaMl1efBmv — Dodge Cares (@dodgecares) January 24, 2020

Don’t expect any remarkable enhancements under the hood. The Dodge Journey will only offer one engine, the 2.4L I4. The 172 horsepower engine is married to a four-speed automatic transmission. In today’s performance standards, you’ll find most powertrains feature six-speed automatic transmission or more.

The Journey’s power won’t knock your socks off. It won’t save you tons in gas money either. The EPA rates the 2020 Dodge Journey with a combined 21 mpg, which isn’t terribly impressive. You’ll also lose AWD options for the Journey in 2020.

What’s it like on the inside?

The Dodge Journey is one of the very few compact crossovers with third-row seating as standard. New this year, Dodge narrows the trim levels down to two – SE Value and Crossroad.

There are roomy cargo options, with plenty of fold-flat capabilities. With all seats in the upright positions, you’ll have a limited 10.7 cubic feet of space behind the third row. Folded to a flat position will provide 37 cubic feet. Fold the second row into the stowed position, and you’ll enjoy 67.6 cubic feet of storage area behind the front seats.

Dodge Journey technology and infotainment features

Considering the Dodge Journey is relatively unchanged for 10 straight years, you’re probably wondering if the tech and infotainment are up to par. The base model will provide you with a 4.3-inch touchscreen and entry-level audio extras.

Upgrades can add in SiriusXM radio, a CD player, auxiliary and USB ports. If you want the 8.4-inch screen, navigation, Uconnect (voice command), and Bluetooth connectivity, you can only enjoy those with Crossroad models. Adding in the extras is easier this year with Dodge bundling the options into a suite they call the Popular Equipment Group .

Will the Dodge Journey to get a performance-focused replacement in 2022? https://t.co/AeBjSpkCB3 pic.twitter.com/ZQc9xP167r — Autoblog (@therealautoblog) November 25, 2019

What about Apple CarPlay connectivity?

Even at the highest-level trim, neither Apple CarPlay nor Android Auto are part of the configurations. This may be a deal-breaker for many consumers.

Having the ability to make and receive both calls and texts, all hands-free and with voice command, is more than a luxury. It’s safe driving. Many competitors offer both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as base-level standard features these days. For anyone considering a Dodge Journey, you’ll have to pursue aftermarket install options or forgo the connectivity tech altogether.

Does the Dodge Journey have driver assistance features?

The short answer is yes. The 2020 Dodge Journey does offer a few driver aids. Every trim level configuration, including the base model, will come standard with a backup camera and parking sensors.

However, if you’re looking for adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, or lane-keeping assistance, you won’t find any of them available for the Journey.

It’s not all bad, and for many on a budget with several passengers to haul, the Dodge Journey is a perfect fit. It’s still, hands-down, the most affordable crossover out there with three rows. You’ll notice the price tag is thousands less than others in its segment.

The SE Value trim level starts at $24,990, and the well-equipped Crossroad is only $30,090. But remember, you will get what you pay for when you drive a Journey off the lot. You’ll forgo some of the fun tech and extras that almost every other SUV offers, including the Apple CarPlay connectivity .

2018 Dodge Journey Overview

Is the 2018 dodge journey a good used suv.

The 2018 Dodge Journey is not a great midsize SUV . While it has a few appealing traits, its negatives outweigh its positives.

The 2018 Journey does have a few strengths:

• Uconnect infotainment system is easy to use
• Rides gently over most surfaces
• Lower ownership costs than some class rivals

But it has several drawbacks:

• Less cargo room than many rivals
• Lower safety scores and fewer safety features than most rivals
• Lowest possible predicted reliability rating
• Excessive body lean makes this vehicle feel unwieldy at times
• Lethargic engines

How Much Does the 2018 Dodge Journey Cost to Own?

The 2018 Journey’s five-year costs for gas, insurance, repairs, and maintenance are projected to be around $24,730, or $4,946 per year. That’s below average for the midsize SUV class .

Is It Better to Buy a Used or New Journey?

Dodge made no major changes to Journey for 2019. Because of that, you could likely spend less money and get a virtually identical vehicle with a used 2018 model.

Read about the new Journey »

Dodge redesigned the Journey for the 2009 model year, and this SUV hasn’t seen any major changes since 2011. Many of the updates since then have consisted of reshuffling trims. For example, Dodge cut the AVP and Limited trims for 2016 and introduced the Crossroad Plus. For 2017, the GT replaced the R/T, and for 2018, Dodge narrowed the lineup to four trim levels and made a third-row seat standard.

Which Used Dodge Journey Trim Is Right for Me?

The Journey is available in four trim levels: SE, SXT, Crossroad, and GT. A four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive come standard in the three lower trims. A more capable V6 engine and all-wheel drive are available in every trim except the top-of-the-line GT, where they come standard.

The base Journey SE is sparsely equipped for a midsize SUV . Not even Bluetooth comes standard. The SXT doesn’t add much in the way of features. The Crossroad adds a larger infotainment screen and a little more interior versatility. In addition to the V6 engine and all-wheel drive mentioned above, the GT trim has a sport-tuned suspension and several of the comfort features available in the Crossroad trim.

The Crossroad is the best bet for most shoppers because it's the lowest trim available with several comfort, convenience, and active safety features. Just be aware that you'll need to shop for the specific features you want.

• Dodge Journey SE: The entry-level Journey SE has a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, a four-speed automatic transmission, the Uconnect infotainment system, a 4.3-inch touch screen, a USB port, a six-speaker stereo, proximity keyless entry, and push-button start. Available options include Bluetooth, satellite radio, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
• Dodge Journey SXT: The Dodge Journey SXT adds no standard features to the SE’s equipment list, but you may find SXTs with features that weren't offered in the base trim, such as a power-adjustable driver’s seat and a fold-flat front passenger seat.
• Dodge Journey Crossroad: The Dodge Journey Crossroad has an 8.4-inch touch screen, dual-zone automatic climate control, and all the options listed above. You may also find Crossroad models equipped with tri-zone automatic climate control, remote start, heated front seats, leather seats, a heated steering wheel, a navigation system, a rear-seat entertainment system with a 9-inch screen, a sunroof, rear parking sensors, and a rearview camera. When new, the Crossroad was the lowest trim to offer these options.
• Dodge Journey GT: The Journey GT features a V6 engine, a six-speed automatic transmission, all-wheel drive, a high-performance suspension, remote start, leather upholstery, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a six-speaker premium stereo. Many of the same options from the Crossroad are available in the GT.

What Does Dodge's Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Cover?

Dodge offers a certified pre-owned program for vehicles six years old or less and with fewer than 65,000 miles. Eligibility is determined by the vehicle’s initial sale date. For its certified pre-owned vehicles, Dodge offers a five-year/100,000-mile maximum care limited warranty. Additional benefits are available, including a 90-day satellite radio trial subscription, a Carfax vehicle history report, 24-hour towing and roadside assistance and a car rental allowance. There are mileage and model restrictions too. 

Dodge has one of the weaker CPO warranties among affordable carmakers, according to our analysis. Rivals such as Kia, Hyundai, Chevy, Ford and Honda are all better.

See the best CPO programs »

Extended Warranties for Dodge Cars and SUVs

Not every used Dodge will qualify for a certified pre-owned warranty. However, there are options available if you want additional coverage after the manufacturer’s warranty has expired.

2018 Dodge Journey Versus the Competition

Which is better: 2018 dodge journey or 2018 hyundai santa fe.

The 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe is a great midsize SUV . It’s available in two body types: the two-row Sport and the three-row Santa Fe. Both body styles have more cargo space than the Journey. The Santa Fe also has higher safety scores, a better predicted reliability rating, more standard features, and available Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Its available engine options are energetic, and it has a more composed ride. The Hyundai is the superior choice.

Which Is Better: 2018 Dodge Journey or 2018 Kia Sorento?

The 2018 Kia Sorento is another great choice. It has an elegant cabin, good safety and predicted reliability ratings, strong engine options, and a coddling ride. The Sorento has more cargo space than the Dodge too. Compared to the Sorento, the Journey will save you around $3,000 on average, and it has standard third-row seating – an option in the Sorento. Still, if you have a little leeway in your budget, the Kia is the superior choice.

2018 Journey Performance

How does the 2018 journey drive.

The base engine struggles at highway speeds and when the Journey is loaded with passengers and cargo. It’s also noisy, and the four-speed automatic transmission makes poorly timed shifts. The V6 fares better, but not by much. Models equipped with the V6 engine still deliver sluggish acceleration.

This crossover SUV drives like a larger vehicle, with lots of body lean. It’s capable of handling winding roads, though, and its suspension does a good job smoothing over road flaws.

• Base engine: 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 173 horsepower and 166 pound-feet of torque
• Available engines: 3.6-liter V6 with 283 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque
• Drivetrain: standard front-wheel drive; available all-wheel drive
• Transmission: standard four-speed automatic; available six-speed automatic (with V6)

Does the 2018 Journey Get Good Gas Mileage?

The base four-cylinder engine returns typical fuel economy estimates for the class.

• 2.4-liter: 19/25 mpg city/highway
• 3.6-liter, FWD: 17/25 mpg
• 3.6-liter, AWD: 16/24 mpg

2018 Dodge Journey Towing Capacity

When properly equipped, the Journey can tow up to 2,500 pounds.

2018 Journey Interior

How many people does the 2018 journey seat.

The Journey seats seven people in three rows. The front seats are supportive and comfortable, and the second-row seats have ample head- and legroom for most adults. Space in the third row is tight; these seats are best left for kids. The cabin has an upscale look and feel, with lots of soft-touch surfaces.

Standard seating features:

• cloth seats

Available seating features:

• leather seats
• heated front seats
• power-adjustable driver’s seat
• power-folding front passenger seat
• heated steering wheel

How Many Child Car Seats Fit in the 2018 Journey?

For securing child car seats, this SUV has two complete sets of LATCH connectors on the outboard second-row seats. There’s also a third tether anchor and a single lower anchor for the second row's rear middle seat, and another lower anchor can be borrowed from the second-row passenger-side seat. The whole setup received a second-worst Marginal rating for ease of use from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety because the tether anchors are hard to find and can be easily confused for other hardware.

2018 Dodge Journey Features

Prominent in any Fiat, Chrysler, Jeep, or Dodge vehicle, the Uconnect infotainment system draws praise for being exceptionally easy to use. The larger touch screen has crisp graphics and responds quickly to inputs. However, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are unavailable.

• Standard infotainment features: Uconnect infotainment system with a 4.3-inch touch screen, a USB port, and a six-speaker stereo
• Available infotainment features: an 8.4-inch touch screen, a navigation system, a rear-seat DVD player with a 9-inch screen, Bluetooth, and satellite radio
• Additional standard features: push-button start and proximity keyless entry
• Other available features: dual-zone automatic climate control, tri-zone automatic climate control, remote start, and a sunroof

2018 Dodge Journey Dimensions

Dodge journey cargo space.

The Journey has 10.7 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats, 37 cubic feet behind the second row, and 67.6 cubic feet behind the front row.

Most other midsize crossovers, such as the 2018 Dodge Durango , have more cargo room. Even some compact SUVs , like the 2018 Toyota RAV4 , have more room. Additionally, the high liftover height makes it difficult to load heavier items. On the plus side, the fold-flat front passenger seat makes it easier to store longer items.

These cargo dimensions are for comparative purposes. There is no substitute for visually examining the storage area in any car you’re considering.

2018 Dodge Journey Length and Weight

• Length: 16 feet
• Curb weight: 3,818 to 4,238 pounds
• Gross vehicle weight rating: 5,250 to 5,600 pounds

Where Was the 2018 Dodge Journey Built?

Dodge built the Journey in Mexico.

Which Journey does Edmunds recommend?

Full edmunds review: 2018 dodge journey suv.

Vehicle overview

The Dodge Journey could very well be the car that time forgot. It debuted back in 2009 and has been pretty much the same vehicle since. While this longevity is admirable and speaks to the inherent goodness of the Journey's design concept, there's no denying that it's behind the times in quite a few areas.

As in previous years, the 2018 version of the Journey has three rows and a low price, but it lacks quite a few of the safety features buyers might expect, even when fully optioned. Its base engine is a truly underwhelming four-cylinder paired to an outdated four-speed automatic, and the combo results in subpar fuel economy. A stronger V6 is available, but even so equipped the Journey can't keep up with other three-row SUVs.

It's not all bad news for the Journey. We like the ride quality, and the seats are comfortable all around. The 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment system included on upper trims is also a solid system, although it sadly has not been upgraded to the latest version that includes Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration.

The Journey will get you where you're going, and will do so for less money than many competitors. But overall we think you'll be happier with vehicles such as the Kia Sorento, GMC Acadia or new Volkswagen Tiguan.

2018 Dodge Journey models

All four Journey trims come standard with front-wheel drive and, excluding the GT, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder (173 hp, 166 lb-ft of torque) paired with a four-speed automatic. Opting for all-wheel drive (or the front-wheel-drive Journey GT) gets you a 3.6-liter V6 (283 hp, 260 lb-ft of torque) and a six-speed automatic transmission. The V6 is also available as a stand-alone option for the SXT and Journey trims.

Standard feature highlights for the Journey SE include 17-inch steel wheels, a height-adjustable driver seat, 60/40-split second-row seats (with slide and recline), dual-zone climate control, keyless ignition and entry, and a six-speaker sound system with a 4.3-inch touchscreen interface.

Options packages include the Connectivity package (Bluetooth, satellite radio, a USB port, voice commands and a leather-wrapped steering wheel), the Popular Equipment package (three-zone temperature control with rear-seat vents, a conversation mirror, overhead console storage, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel) and the Comfort/Convenience package (a power-adjustable driver seat).

Moving up to the SXT adds 17-inch alloy wheels and contents of the Connectivity and Popular Equipment packages. A Uconnect 8.4-inch touchscreen package gets you the desirable 8.4-inch touchscreen plus adds three-zone automatic climate control, aimable interior lamps, overhead console storage, rear parking sensors and a rearview camera. The SXT's Premium package adds satellite radio, a conversation mirror, leather-wrapped steering wheel and the power-adjustable driver seat.

The Dodge Journey Crossroad comes with 19-inch black-painted alloy wheels and the contents of the Uconnect 8.4-inch touchscreen package. Further options include leather upholstery, heated front seats, a rear-seat entertainment system, a premium six-speaker stereo system with subwoofer, navigation, a sunroof and the Driver Convenience package (a rearview camera, rear parking sensors, and a universal garage door opener).

The range-topping GT trim gets 19-inch alloys, remote start, a security alarm, leather upholstery, heated front seats and steering wheel, and the premium stereo system. Additional options are largely the same as for the Crossroad, but a Trailer Tow Prep package, which adds a hitch and four-pin wiring connector, is also available.

Trim tested

Each vehicle typically comes in multiple versions that are fundamentally similar. The ratings in this review are based on our first drive of the 2014 Dodge Journey SXT Plus (3.6L V6 | 6-speed automatic | AWD).

NOTE: Since this test was conducted, the current Dodge Journey has received some revisions, including an improved infotainment interface and standard third-row seating. Our findings remain broadly applicable to this year's Dodge Journey, however.
