2016 Dodge Journey Performance

2017 Dodge Journey Performance

Although it may be classified as a compact SUV, the Dodge Journey still packs quite the punch, thanks in part to its powertrain. The 2017 Dodge Journey comes standard across most trims with a 2.4-liter I4 DOHC 16-Valve Dual VVT engine, capable of producing 173 horsepower and 166 lb-ft of torque.

The exception is the Journey GT, which comes standard with Dodge’s 3.6-liter V6 24-Valve VVT engine. With this advanced engine under its hood, the Journey GT can produce a boosted 283 horsepower and tow up to 2,500 pounds.
