Dodge Journey (JC49). 2008–20 (prod. n/a). 5-door wagon. F/F, F/A, 1968 cm³ diesel, 2359 cm³ petrol (I4 DOHC), 2736 cm³ (V6 DOHC), 3518 cm³ (V6 OHC), 3605 cm³ (V6 DOHC). Dodge attempts to blend SUV, minivan and sedan in one crossover on Sebring–Avenger platform. Practical in terms of space and seating, thanks to lessons learned from minivans. First shown 2007 as a 2009 model, but exported to some countries in 2008 for that model year. Cheap interior and switchgear, poor handling, noisy by European standards. Diesel expected to be the top seller in Europe but largely on price. Pentastar DOHC V6 for 2011 model year. Twinned with Fiat Freemont.
