Although late to the party, the Journey brings innovative storage and other features to make up for it.
BY ALISA PRIDDLE, August 2007
The old Chrysler insisted it was all-in when it comes to the popular crossover market, fighting rumors it was killing off the Chrysler Pacifica while its other car-based SUV, the Chrysler PT Cruiser grows long in the tooth.
So in Frankfurt next month, at its first auto show as the new Chrysler, the automaker will show the world an all-new offering, the Dodge Journey. This SUV hails from the same D-segment platform as the mid-size Dodge Avenger and Chrysler Sebring sedans and is the crossover that had been initially referred to as the Dodge Crew in recent rounds of spy shots.
The Journey is a global SUV, crucial to the continued rollout of the Dodge brand in Europe that began in 2006—hence, the choice of Frankfurt for its world debut.
The five-passenger Journey has available five-plus-two seating, expected to be a draw in Europe where vehicles of this size essentially serve as the family minivan. To make it possible, the Journey’s 113.8-inch wheelbase is 4.9 inches longer than the Avenger’s (overall length grew less than two inches).
