The Journey rides on a four-wheel independent strut-front and multilink-rear suspension. Customers in the U.S. and Canada can add all-wheel drive to models with the 3.5-liter V-6.

In keeping with other models Chrysler offers, the Journey offers such things as YES Essentials seat fabric, which wards off stains and odors, and the MyGIG multimedia audio and entertainment system for escape between cries of “Are we there yet?” Other options include a DVD entertainment system, navigation, and rear backup cameras, as well as a cooler in the glove box, a rechargeable flashlight in the rear cargo area, and a trifold load floor behind the second row for more hidden storage.

Pricing has not yet been announced for the SUV that will be built at Chrysler’s plant in Toluca, Mexico, but we expect it to range from $22,000 to $32,000. Toluca is also the production home of the PT Cruiser, which apparently still has a little longevity in its current guise—as does the Pacifica—which leaves us still guessing as to whether the Journey ultimately replaces either of those.
