Dodge designers and engineers have delivered the all-new 2009 Dodge Journey, a global vehicle that meets life's changing demands by offering a combination of versatility and flexibility, the automaker reports. This vehicle blends the practicality of a minivan, the capability of a sport-utility vehicle and the overall efficiency of a passenger car into an all-new crossover for the Dodge brand. The Dodge Journey is built on the company's global D-segment platform and is designed to meet the needs of customers ranging from young singles, couples and families with small children to mature families who want the flexibility to do more in terms of seating people or storing gear. Flexible seating and storage combinations include standard five-passenger seating with spacious cargo room and available 5+2 seating. Storage bins hidden in the floor and under the front passenger seat cushion, combined with a variety of fuel-efficient and powerful powertrain options, make the Journey functional. Safety features include standard multi-stage front driver and passenger air bags, front seat-mounted side air bags, three-row side-curtain air bags, standard four- wheel disc anti-lock brakes (ABS), standard Electronic Stability Program (ESP), standard Electronic Roll Mitigation, an available back-up camera and available all-wheel drive (AWD). The 2009 Dodge Journey will be available in U.S. dealerships with standard five-passenger seating on the SE model and available 5+2 seating on SXT and R/T models in the first quarter of next year.
