2012 Dodge Journey

The new 2012 Dodge Journey hits the ground running in 2012 with a host of significant upgrades to styling and equipment.

And the Journey R/T’s adoption of the muscular, refined 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 employed in the SXT model – where it earned the title of most powerful vehicle in the Australian MPV segment – further consolidates the Dodge Journey as a multi-seat vehicle with a distinct difference.

Both SXT and R/T models gain a fresh new exterior look to compliment the Journey’s already standout styling, as well as a new interior featuring a dramatic all-new dash, along with restyled trim and upgraded equipment that invites passengers to enjoy an even classier driving experience.

Over and above that, the Journey R/T model enhances customer appeal with an array of new features adding up to more than $3,000 extra value over the previous model.

Standard equipment in the new Journey R/T includes not just the Pentastar V6, but also leather seats, 8.4-inch touch-screen satellite navigation, second-row overhead video with wireless headphones, a reversing camera, heated front seats and 19-inch alloy wheels.

All this combined with distinctive style, impressive road performance, comfort, versatility and safety makes the Dodge Journey better value in 2012

  1. as “motor trend” raves, the ’11 dodge charger is one of the few cars that alcautly look GREAT with a rear spoiler, especially as a sedan. the mt and “car&driver” reports speak volumes about how great the vastly improved charger is. loved everything i show at the show! the chrysler products lured me there in person this year. was worth it!!! the 2011 charger r/t must be seen in personal to fully relish the interior and exterior.
