For the cost, it’s the way I’d go if I were purchasing a Journey, simply because the extra kit goes a long way to shaking off some of the soccer mom stigmas. Essentially an appearance package, it includes a unique front fascia with a blacked out grill, 19” hyper black wheels and a handful of other exterior dress-up accessories. The Crossroad package is about $200 more than a similarly equipped R/T Rallye. At this point, it’s currently available in 9 different trim levels, starting with the value based Canada Value Package at $19,494, all the way up to my AWD Crossroad trim tester weighing in at $36,810. The Journey, while now 5 years old, still remains the hottest selling seven-seater crossover on the market, so I figured I’d spend some time with the best one Dodge has to offer, a fully optioned Crossroad model, to see for myself whether it’s still at the top of the game.ĭodge does a very good job putting together very compelling option packages, and the Journey is no exception. The Chrysler Group, in my opinion, was one of the leaders in developing the crossover concept with vehicles such as the Grand Cherokee and even the dearly departed Chrysler Pacifica.
That’s why the Dodge Journey has been ranked one of Canada’s bestselling vehicles for 5 years running.ĭodge has a pretty solid history of building great people movers. When the fun car is safely tucked away in the garage, away from winter weather and the sticky hands of snaking children, all you really want is something that makes sense. Certainly, as a self-respecting car-loving parent, you don’t want to be seen in a minivan. Crossovers have really made huge strides forward in styling, driving dynamics and features, which have allowed them to steal loads of market share away from the traditional mini-van and SUV markets. However, over the last couple of years I’ve had the chance to drive just about every one of them on the market, and the truth is, they’re not all bad. The world of seven-seat people haulers isn’t something most enthusiasts get all that excited about.
