2015 Dodge Journey review: Our expert's take

By Jennifer Geiger

The 2015 Dodge Journey is a low-cost, relatively family-friendly alternative to other people-movers, but you get what you pay for.

I want to like the 2015 Dodge Journey — with its affordable price, available third row and refreshingly simple multimedia system — but major ride and powertrain refinement issues sap a lot of its likability.

Again for 2015, the Journey is available in five- or seven-seat configurations with front- or all-wheel drive. Compare the 2014 and 2015 models here . The Journey straddles the compact and midsize SUV classes; competitors include compacts like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V, as well as the Kia Sorento, a midsize SUV with an optional third row. Compare them here .

Exterior & Styling The Journey should look pretty familiar; it hasn’t changed much since it was introduced for the 2009 model year and then lightly revised for 2011. I tested a Crossroad trim that slots above the midlevel SXT model. Changes on the outside for the Crossroad include black chrome trim on its grille, headlights, roof rails and front bumper, which complement the smoked headlights and taillights and the 19-inch Hyper Black wheels. The package gives the conservative, suburban-looking Journey a kick of edgy, urban attitude.

How It Drives Power from a stop is respectable, but the Journey feels slow on the highway, even with the optional 283-horsepower, 3.6-liter V-6. The unresponsive, clunky six-speed automatic holds it back. Shifts are often delayed, and you can really hear and feel the powertrain straining to keep up with power demand for passing and merging. It sounds and feels very crude at highway speeds; competitors have much more refined road manners.

A 2.4-liter four-cylinder with an ancient four-speed automatic is standard. We haven’t driven the four-cylinder, but it’s hard to imagine that its 173 hp could satisfy when the V-6 is already borderline. Four-cylinder models have front-wheel drive only; V-6 versions can have front- or all-wheel drive.

Both engines have disappointing fuel economy. The four-cylinder is EPA-rated 19/26/21 mpg city/highway/combined, which is embarrassing against base versions of the CR-V (27/34/29), RAV4 (23/30/26) and Sorento (21/29/24).

In front-wheel-drive V-6 trim, the Journey is rated 17/25/19 mpg, a smidge under the V-6 Sorento (18/26/21). The CR-V and RAV4 don’t offer V-6 engines.

The Journey’s ride could also use some polishing. It lacks composure over even the smallest bumps, and larger ones ripple through the cabin like rocks tossed into a puddle. The brakes are also disappointing; the pedal has a mushy feel, and the brakes pulse unsettlingly even during normal braking.

Interior There’s a lot of black plastic in the cabin, but much of it is nicely padded. The overall look is sharp, thanks to some matte chrome trim with light gray contrast stitching, plus black leather seats with a sporty mesh insert.

The seats are long-drive comfortable but annoying to adjust. There’s a button to power the driver’s seat forward and back, but a manual lever to recline it. Front seat headroom and legroom are adequate, but one taller editor didn’t have enough knee room against the large, bulging steering-column housing.

I had a full house during my test and was able to fit two rear-facing infant seats in the second row with room for a small adult beside them. The bench seat has two sets of lower Latch anchors in the outboard positions, as well as an extra single anchor in the middle position, an uncommon feature that makes the row more flexible for child-safety-seat placement.

Another family-friendly feature is a pair of integrated boosters, positioned in the outboard seats. They pop up easily and are quickly ready for use. The $225 option sounds steep compared with a $30 backless booster from Babies R Us, but you’re paying for convenience — integrated boosters make carpooling with extra kids safer and easier. They’re not for every kid, though; they can be safely used only with children weighing between 48 and 85 pounds. That’s a higher minimum weight than many traditional boosters, and because my 5-year-old weighs around 40 pounds, she was unable to test the Journey’s booster.

Lastly, kids will enjoy the optional DVD entertainment system’s 9-inch overhead screen, remote control and wireless headphones, though it’s not Blu-ray compatible.

A third-row bench is standard on the Crossroad model, and getting back there is a breeze. A lever on the second-row seat collapses the seat bottom and slides the whole seat forward, quickly creating an adult-sized opening.

Room in the third row is just OK. My 5-year-old’s booster fit well next to a small adult, and both were comfortable for a short ride. Unlike the Kia Sorento, though, the third row is available even on base models. It’s an extra $1,700 there as part of the Flexible Seating Group, which also includes extras like three-zone climate control and the easy-entry second-row feature.

Here’s where the Journey completely lost me: There are no lower Latch anchors in the third row. That’s not uncommon, as they’re not federally mandated back there, but Dodge also left out top tether anchors, making it unsafe for forward-facing car seats. Tsk, tsk, Dodge. Many competitors’ third rows have at least one top tether anchor, and some even have a set of lower Latch anchors.

Sunshades aren’t available for the second-row windows, either. This feature may seem minor, but it’s a helpful convenience on long trips with napping kids, and I missed it during my test weekend. Second-row captain’s chairs are also unavailable; many family vehicles offer them.

Ergonomics & Electronics Chrysler’s familiar 8.4-inch Uconnect touch-screen is front and center. It’s standard on higher trims; a small 4.3-inch touch-screen system is standard on lower trims. The 8.4-inch unit’s large, clear screen, straightforward menu structure and handy position high on the dash make it a favorite.

Operating the system for audio functions couldn’t get any easier — especially because the volume and tuning controls are separate dials located below the touch-screen — but using the navigation system was aggravating. There was quite a delay registering many functions; it was slow to respond to an address or make changes to the map.

Cargo & Storage Like so much about the Journey, small-item storage is hit and miss. First the good: The front passenger-seat cushion flips up to reveal a hidden storage compartment. There’s also a pair of second-row, in-floor storage bins. These hidden gems are useful for stashing valuables, and I appreciate their clever design.

In front, a big uncovered bin sitting in front of the shifter is sized right for devices. On the flip side, Dodge cheaped out with the seatback pockets; there’s only one, behind the driver’s seat. The center console is also small. It’s deep, but not very wide, so forget stashing even a small purse there.

There’s another handy underfloor storage bin behind the third row, but cargo space in general is paltry back there. With just 10.7 cubic feet of space, there’s not room for much. A small umbrella stroller fits, but a larger stroller does not. Behind the third row, the Kia Sorento offers 11.3 cubic feet of space.

Folding the third row flat for more cargo space is easy via a pair of seatback-mounted straps. Doing so opens up 39.6 cubic feet of room, besting the CR-V (35.3), RAV4 (38.4) and Sorento (38.8). In terms of maximum cargo volume, the Sorento leads the pack with 73.5 cubic feet, compared with 67.6 in the Journey, 70.9 in the CR-V and 73.4 in the RAV4.

Safety The Dodge Journey received an overall crash-test score of four out of five stars from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rated the Journey good (out of a possible poor, marginal, acceptable and good) in all areas of testing except the small overlap front test, where it received a score of poor.

Thick C-pillars and large third-row head restraints compromise rear visibility. A backup camera is optional on higher trims but unavailable on the base model. The Journey also lacks many safety features that are becoming common options, like blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning and forward collision warning systems. Seven airbags are standard: front, front-seat side-impact, driver’s knee and full-length side curtains. Click here for a full list of safety features.

A lack of third-row top-tether anchors meant we couldn’t install a forward-facing convertible child-safety seat in the third row, but two child seats fit well in the second row. Read our Car Seat Check for more.

Value in Its Class Sometimes, cost is a top priority, and the Journey definitely wins in that category. Base prices start at $21,690, including destination, which is around $2,000 to $4,000 lower than its competitors. But you might end up making up the difference at the repair shop; Journey reliability is historically bad.

Families tempted by the Journey’s low prices have a lot to consider, including whether sacrificing crashworthiness, reliability and refinement in the name of a deal is a good plan.

Most recent consumer reviews

I recommend this car.

Now, I did just purchase this car, just a couple of months ago, and even though it's an older car, it only had 55,000 miles when I bought it, and I purchased a 5-star warranty as well. First, I'm probably being a bit bias, b/c I'm a Dodge fan, due the Nitro I had previously. But so far, the other reviews I've read are pretty much spot-on. Mine has the 2.4L 4-cylinder. It's not as good on the gas mileage as other 4 cylinders, from the Reviews I had already read, b/c the Journey is heavy, but for me, it's also less to fill up than the 3.6L, 6 cylinder Nitro I owned previously. I also wouldn't take it on any sharp turns either. As other reviews had said, the engine does make some noise, but it's not that big of a deal to me. However, unlike the other reviews I had read, I have plenty of space as a driver, it's not as compacted as I thought it would be, but the cargo space has plenty of room, just like I've read. The infotainment system is really good too, just like the reviews I'd read had stated. I have SIRIUS, don't know how, I'm not paying for it, but if it's a feature with this car, fantastic, BB King's Bluesville station is on constant play, as other stations are too. It doesn't have the vehicle backing system nor an AUX connector that most cars now have, but it's a 2015, and the Journey wasn't Dodge's most elite model either. However, so far, I'm growing into this car, and glad I purchased it. I'll probably get the Hornet next. Ha.

I hate this car now I loved a year ago

I've had my car almost year, it's been broke down most of that year. Problems we can't seem to figure out. The check engine light is on and off . A light for traction comes on the car with squiggly lines . It makes the car jump. This seems to happen when the car is hot. We've put a lot of money into it already only to be able to drive it four days here, two days there . I'm so upset I’m paying for a car that I don’t get to drive. Something simple is blocking my car from moving.

2015 Dodge Journey Overview

Is the 2015 dodge journey a good used suv.

The 2015 Dodge Journey is an OK midsize SUV , but most of its classmates are better. Aside from its relatively low selling price and its user-friendly infotainment system, the Journey offers few benefits over its rivals. Most competing SUVs offer stronger engines, better gas mileage, more cargo room, and a higher reliability rating. Unless you are on an extremely tight budget, you're better off with another SUV.

Why You Can Trust Us

Our used car rankings and reviews are based on our analysis of professional automotive reviews, as well as data like crash test scores, reliability ratings, and ownership expenses. We researched 45 Dodge Journey reviews to help you decide if it’s the right used car for you.

How Much is a 2015 Dodge Journey?

Based on listings for the 2015 Dodge Journey on our site, the average price is $16,000. Prices range from $11,900 to $21,000 and vary depending on the trim, mileage, location, condition, and features.

How Much Does the 2015 Dodge Journey Cost to Own?

The 2015 Dodge Journey’s five-year estimated costs for gas, insurance, maintenance, and repairs come to about $24,200, which is a little below average for the class.

Is It Better to Buy a Used or New Dodge Journey?

The Dodge Journey is one of the least expensive midsize SUVs you can buy – new or used. A 2019 Journey starts at $23,645, considerably more than the 2015 model’s average list price of $16,000. The 2019 model is the first Journey to offer the 283-horsepower V6 engine in other than the top trim levels. Also, the 2019 Journey comes standard with three rows, while the third row is an option in the 2015 model. Otherwise, the 2019 Journey offers few notable advantages over the 2015 Journey.

Which Model Year of the Dodge Journey Is Best?

The 2015 Journey is part of a generation that launched for 2009 and includes the 2019 Journey. Dodge refreshed the Journey for 2011 and other than some shuffling of trims, there have been few major changes to the Journey over the years. The 2018 model was the first with standard third-row seating, and for 2019, Dodge discontinued the SXT trim and made the V6 engine available with the base engine. If you’re committed to buying a used Journey, there are few reasons to select a more-recent model, other than getting a vehicle with fewer miles on it. However, if you can stretch your budget just a little, you'll find better options in the midsize SUV class.

2015 Dodge Journey Recalls

As of this writing, the 2015 Dodge Journey has six recalls. They address potential issues involving the inability to cancel cruise control, the accidental deployment of the driver’s air bag, the loss of power steering assist, the engine cover contacting the exhaust manifold, water entering the anti-lock braking system module, and an incorrectly labeled tire placard. Before buying any used vehicle, make sure all recalls have been addressed.

Which Used Dodge Journey Model Is Right for Me?

The 2015 Dodge Journey comes in seven trims: AVP, SE, SXT, SXT Plus, Crossroad, Limited, and R/T. The base Journey AVP trim comes standard with a 173-horsepower four-cylinder engine, push-button start, and the Uconnect infotainment system with a 4.3-inch touch screen, six speakers, two 12-volt power outlets, and a USB port. The SE trim adds some minor cosmetic upgrades, and the SXT trim features an MP3 CD player and satellite radio.

While the three lower trims include a good amount of appealing technology, we recommend the Dodge Journey SXT Plus, as it has the best combination of features and value. It comes with a larger touch screen (8.4 inches), a fold-flat passenger seat with in-cushion storage, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat.

The Journey Crossroad trim mostly features cosmetic enhancements. The Journey Limited gets heated seats, a DVD player, Uconnect Voice Command with Bluetooth, and a 115-volt auxiliary power outlet. It also comes with the 283-horsepower V6 engine. The Journey R/T adds six premium speakers with a subwoofer and a 368-watt amplifier, as well as leather-trimmed seats that have perforated inserts with red accent stitching. Its sport-tuned suspension enhances the Journey’s handling.

2015 Dodge Journey Safety

Score: 8.4/10.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave the 2015 Journey four out of five stars in the frontal crash and rollover tests.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the 2015 Journey the top rating of Good in four out of five crashworthiness tests. The Journey received the lowest rating of Poor in the small overlap driver-side front test.

There are no standard driver assistance features in the Journey, but a rearview camera and rear parking sensors are available.

2015 Dodge Journey Versus the Competition

Which is better: 2015 dodge journey or 2015 hyundai santa fe.

The 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe , like the Journey, is available with two or three rows of seats. In either configuration, the Santa Fe is superior to the Journey. This Hyundai offers just about everything you could ask for from a midsize SUV . Its base engine delivers plenty of power for everyday use, while its two available engines provide livelier acceleration. Both two- and three-row Santa Fe models have a good amount of cargo room and a user-friendly infotainment system. The Hyundai Santa Fe also boasts better crash test ratings and a better reliability rating than the Journey. Its ride can be a bit firm, but the Santa Fe is the one to choose.

Which Is Better: 2015 Dodge Journey or 2015 Dodge Durango?

You might think that two midsize SUVs made by the same brand would be very similar. That’s not the case with the 2015 Dodge Durango , which is a cut above its smaller and less capable sibling. With the Durango, you get a standard third-row seat, better safety scores, a higher reliability rating, and stronger engines. It comes with the same user-friendly infotainment system as the Journey (though its screen is slightly smaller), and its cabin is more upscale overall. However, you’ll have to decide if the Durango’s benefits are worth its price tag, as its average list price is nearly $11,500 more than the Journey’s.

2015 Dodge Journey Performance

How does the 2015 dodge journey drive.

The 2015 Dodge Journey’s base powertrain consists of a 173-horsepower four-cylinder engine and a four-speed automatic transmission. The base engine is underpowered and noisy, while the transmission is unrefined. For better power delivery on the highway, look for a model that comes with the available 283-horsepower V6 engine, which is paired with a smoother-shifting six-speed automatic transmission.

This Dodge has a fairly cushioned ride over imperfect surfaces, and it handles well around corners, especially if you’re driving the sport-tuned R/T trim. Front-wheel drive is standard, and V6-powered models are available with all-wheel drive.

Does the 2015 Dodge Journey Get Good Gas Mileage?

The base 2015 Journey has some of the worst fuel economy estimates in the class, earning just 19 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. Gas mileage with the available V6 engine drops to 17/25 mpg city/highway, and all-wheel-drive models shave another 1 mpg off those numbers.

2015 Dodge Journey Towing Capacity

The Journey can tow up to 2,500 pounds when properly equipped.

2015 Dodge Journey Interior

How many people does the 2015 dodge journey seat.

The 2015 Dodge Journey seats five, and an available third row increases seating capacity to seven. Cloth upholstery and reclining second-row seats come standard. Available seating amenities include genuine leather upholstery, a six-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, tilting and sliding second-row seats, reclining third-row seats, and heated front seats. Second-row built-in child booster seats are also available.

The Journey has plenty of in-cabin storage space, and it's available with a fold-flat front passenger seat with a storage compartment beneath the cushion. The front seats are relatively comfortable and supportive, and the second row is adult-friendly. However, the third row feels cramped. It can accommodate a couple of small-sized children, at best.

How Many Car Seats Fit in the 2015 Dodge Journey?

For installing child safety seats, there are two complete sets of LATCH car-seat connectors for the second row's outboard seats and a tether connection with one lower anchor for the middle seat. There are no third-row LATCH connectors. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave this system the second-lowest rating of Marginal for its ease of use.

2015 Dodge Journey Features

The 2015 Dodge Journey comes with the Uconnect infotainment system, which features a 4.3-inch touch screen, six speakers, and a USB port. Heated mirrors, dual-zone manual climate control, and push-button start are also standard.

Available features include tri-zone automatic climate control, remote start, an 8.4-inch touch screen, Bluetooth, satellite radio, hands-free text messaging, navigation, and a rear-seat entertainment system with a 9-inch screen.

Dodge’s Uconnect infotainment system is one of the Journey’s best features. It includes a large, easily readable display with crisp graphics. The menu structure is straightforward and works similarly to that of a smartphone. Plus, the Journey includes physical buttons for adjusting audio and climate settings, making it easier to operate these features while keeping your eyes on the road.

Tested: 2016 Dodge Journey V-6 AWD

It's the destination that counts.

Suburban Satisfaction

We shouldn’t be surprised to see so many examples of the Journey crossover, as Dodge sold more than 105,000 units in 2015 alone and nearly 94,000 in 2014. With prices ranging from $21,990 for a two-row, four-cylinder, front-wheel-drive model to nearly $40K for a full-boat, three-row, all-wheel-drive V-6 R/T, the Journey certainly casts a wide net over the mid-size crossover segment.

The Crossroad Plus trim (below only the R/T in the hierarchy) of our test car brings unique front and rear styling; “Platinum Chrome” roof rails, side sills, and front and rear fascia accents; 19-inch aluminum wheels; and some additional minor embellishments. Finished in basic black of varying textures and sheens, the interior provides utilitarian style rather than flash, featuring leather seating with mesh inserts, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, Chrysler’s ubiquitous and intuitive 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen infotainment system, a power driver’s seat, and a trick storage bin under the flip-up cushion of the front passenger seat, which makes it easy to keep phones and tablets out of sight but within easy reach—as long as no one is sitting there, of course.

Our test example also included the $1250 Popular Equipment group (heated front seats and steering wheel, remote start, alarm); the $1295 Navigation and Backup group (navigation, backup camera, park assist, and the usual collection of SiriusXM travel and traffic services); and finally, $225 built-in rear child booster seats that make lugging around those grime-grabbing portable plastic boosters a thing of the past. And the pricing is very competitive among three-row crossovers; our nearly loaded $34,660 Journey is thousands cheaper than, say, a no-options Chevrolet Traverse LT AWD, which goes for $36,900.

So it’s no wonder Dodge advertises the Journey as the “most affordable three-row V-6 AWD crossover.” It is not, however, the roomiest. Encouraged by the easy use and functionality of the aforementioned second-row booster seats, we figured the time was right to let the kiddies populate the third row, and that’s where things hit a snag. Despite being equipped with the necessary articulation to allow the second row to—in theory—move out of the way, it’s still a painfully tight squeeze through the gap into the third row. Luckily, the children in our test group took glee in simply flinging themselves over the second-row seatbacks to get to the third row. It’s worth mentioning that although the front seats offer Barcalounger levels of comfort, the second row is tight for grain-fed adults. Frankly, most of the Journey’s competitors offer better second- and third-row accommodations.

Comfortably Numb

Dynamically speaking, driving the Journey is akin to piloting a rolling sensory-deprivation chamber. The steering, brakes, and other controls are vague and feel disconnected, even compared with uninvolving three-row competitors such as the Toyota Highlander . And vehicles such as the Toyota 4Runner and the Jeep Grand Cherokee offer the kind of off-road capability that would leave the Journey spinning its wheels. But the Journey will work among those for whom the weight of day-to-day life has long supplanted any need to contemplate the subtle intricacies of chassis refinement or rock-crawling capabilities.

Despite its indifferent controls, the Journey is at least in the hunt when it comes to quantifying its ability to go, stop, and turn. Equipped with the optional 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 and all-wheel drive, our test car required 7.8 seconds to reach 60 mph and 16.1 to complete the quarter-mile, clocking within several tenths of the numbers posted by the 2013 Dodge Journey V-6 we tested earlier . With 283 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, the corporate V-6 pulls competitively, but the engine feels like it doesn’t really wake up until about 3500 rpm, and the six-speed automatic is lackadaisical. Slow to respond whether shifted manually or left to its own devices, the gearbox in our test car repeatedly exhibited a clumsy two-three upshift that probably added a few tenths to the acceleration times.

LOWS: Fussy transmission, tight second- and third-row seating, drinks gas like a larger rig.

The stop from 70 mph consumed a respectable 177 feet, and the 225/55R-19 Kumho Solus KH16 tires held on long enough to post 0.76 g of grip on our 300-foot skidpad. These numbers fall reasonably close to those produced by the mid-size crossover set, such as the two-row Nissan Murano (178 feet, 0.78 g) and the three-row Toyota Highlander (186 feet, 0.80 g). So while the Journey is capable of keeping the pack in sight when pressed, it doesn’t really enjoy it. Finally, we were disappointed with the 17 mpg overall that our Journey returned. To compare apples to bigger apples, that’s the same mileage figure we achieved in our test of its big brother, the Dodge Durango with the 360-hp Hemi V-8 . If fuel efficiency is your goal, there are thriftier ways to ride than a Journey with the V-6 engine.

It’s been said that life is a journey, not a destination. Dodge Journey owners, on the other hand, are advised to focus on the destination part, as there are numerous competitors that make for more compelling travel partners.
