Dodge is claiming its new 206kW V6-powered Journey is Australia’s most powerful MPV.
The 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 is now standard in R/T model Dodge Journey and heads a raft of upgrades for the stylish American seven-seater.
The new lineup is:
Journey R/T $43,500
Journey SXT $37,500
Both models score a fresh, muscular look and revised interiors with the R/T boasting leather seats, 8.4-inch touch-screen satellite navigation, reversing camera, heated front seats, 19-inch alloy wheels, 360-watt six-speaker audio, reversing camera, parking sensors and – good news for families – a roof mounted rear seat nine-inch video screen with wireless headphones.
Included in the S/T model are keyless entry, electric drivers’ seat adjustment, Uconnect Touch multimedia with voice command, Bluetooth, USB and revised instruments.
Family-friendly practicality remains a Dodge Journey strong point with its 90-degree-opening rear doors and easy access to the third row seats.
“The new Dodge Journey represents not only exceptional good looks, outstanding on-road capabilities and multi-passenger versatility, but is also brilliant value for money,” revealed Chrysler Australia MD Clyde Campbell. :The new features alone in the new Journey R/T add up to more than $3,000 of extra value and that is before you consider the driveability, fuel economy and exhaust emissions that also come with its adoption of the new Pentastar V6.
