There are only minor trim level updates for the 2014 Dodge Journey.
2014 Dodge Journey Exterior
With a sturdy body and a minimalistic, masculine grille, the 2014 Dodge Journey is the macho man of crossover SUVs.

2014 Dodge Journey Performance
The standard powertrain for three of the five trim levels—AVP, SE, and SXT—is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that churns out 173 horsepower and 166 lb-ft of torque. A standard four-speed automatic sends power to the front wheels.
For the Limited and R/T models, a 3.6-liter V6 is the ticket, producing a healthy and significantly more powerful 283 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. With this engine comes a six-speed automatic and standard front-wheel-drive, though all-wheel-drive is optional. This is also an optional powertrain on the SXT.

A simplistic dash design and high quality materials create a clean, modern look in the 2014 Dodge Journey’s interior. An extra-large 8.4-inch touchscreen incorporates easy to use technology, making sure passengers stay connected everywhere they go. Storage is prevalent throughout the crossover with storage bins built into the floor and an optional fold-flat front passenger seat and integrated child booster seats in the second row. The third row can be a bit tight for adults, but is perfect for any children you have to car to soccer games.
2014 Dodge Journey Safety
Government crash tests found the Journey to be worthy of four out of five stars for overall crashworthiness, while the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rated the Journey its highest possible rating of “Good” in the moderate-overlap frontal-offset, side-impact, and roof-strength tests.
