Want to know something? This site has been active for just over 10 years, and we have never reviewed a Dodge Journey. I’m not sure if that’s the most noticeable omission, but you would think it would have happened at some point. The Journey was fairly popular, after all, as Dodge’s response to buyers who are looking for something that isn’t quite a minivan or an SUV, similar to those who opt for Subarus. There’s still a demand for it—just ask the 17 people who bought one new last year.
Yes, even though its production ended in 2020, Dodge surprisingly sold 17 new Journeys in 2025, according to Stellantis’ year-end sales report. You could argue that the company has a talent for this, as they also managed to sell nine new Caravans, six Darts, and two Fiat 500Ls in the past year.
What makes this even more curious is that Dodge sold exactly zero Journeys in 2024. Technically, you couldn't label this as a 1,700% increase since it started from nothing. This seemed to suggest the MPV was quietly disappearing after moving 36 units in 2023, but now it has made a surprising comeback. If this follows the same pattern as the Dart’s revival years, we might see new Journeys leaving dealer lots as late as 2029.
Approximately halfway through its life cycle, Dodge added the Crossroad trim to the Journey lineup. In retrospect, it gives off a somewhat Wilderness vibe. Stellantis
Sure, the Journey is old, but it’s easy to forget just how dated it is. The original model year coincided with the beginning of Obama’s first term. Even the Dart, despite being out of production for a longer period, could be considered a more “modern” vehicle. The Journey predates the Fiat merger and originates from the time of DaimlerChrysler’s partnership with Mitsubishi. Its platform shares components with the second-gen Outlander, the final Lancer, the Dodge Caliber and Avenger, the original Jeep Compass and Patriot, and the Chrysler Sebring. You know, generally well-liked vehicles.
However, you can’t fault anyone for opting for one at a time when genuinely new cars have far surpassed affordability. The Journey started at $19,985 when it was launched 17 years ago. Nowadays, you’ll need about another three thousand dollars to purchase a Nissan Sentra.
