Dodge Journey FAQs

• Is the Dodge Journey a good car?

  While it may have been an option worthy of consideration once upon a time, when this model came to the end of its production life for Australia after the model year 2017 version, that also meant a number of other frontrunners emerged as a better alternative. After all, today's modern vehicles include a host of vital safety and technology upgrades, not to mention improvements in terms of performance dynamics. So if you're looking for a wagon SUV, have a look at other options like ‎the ‎Mazda CX-5, ‎Subaru Forester or Kia Sportage.

• What's wrong with the Dodge Journey?

  There are two ways for us to tackle this question. First, mechanically, the Dodge Journey was like any other car, subject to the odd issue here and there, including electrical faults and defective TIPM, ignition problems, and the engine not starting. On the other hand, the Dodge Journey didn't align with the tastes of local car buyers, with Aussie motorists instead appreciating the extra perks, amenity and overall value found in other SUVs from manufacturers like Mazda, Kia, Hyundai, Honda, and Toyota, to name a few.

• Is the Dodge Journey discontinued?

  Yes, the last version released down under was model year 2017 of the Dodge Journey. The end of the line was always beckoning for the mid-size SUV wagon as it didn't enjoy particularly strong sales, despite the entire SUV segment soaring across recent years. More recently, Dodge also pulled the three-row Journey from the 2020 model year line-up in the US, without identifying a direct replacement, but Stellantis is said to be working on keeping the nameplate alive for a new SUV.
