The mid-size crossover Dodge Journey debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2007, and a year later entered the US market. built on the premise of the circumvent avenger sedan, it was “a completely unique aggregate of versatility and flexibility in sports packaging.”
The minimum price tag for the crossover, which could accommodate up to seven people, was $ 19,985. within the first 4 years, about 50 thousand motors have been bought within our market.
The 2011 update brought the Dodge Journey a redesigned interior, a retuned suspension, and a new 3.6-liter V6 engine delivering 287 hp. and 352 Nm of torque. The 2020 model is available with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine generating 174 hp. and 224 Nm. Paired with the unit is an outdated four-speed automatic transmission.
But if everything is clear with the Dodge Journey, then the decision to remove from the assembly line the brand’s best-selling model – the Grand Caravan minivan – is surprising. Last year, the United States sold 122,648 copies of the Dodge Grand Caravan, while sales of Dodge Charger totaled 96,935 units, Challenger – 60,997 units, and Durango – 67,599 units.
In all likelihood, the reason is also in the old age of the model: for the first time, the Dodge Grand Caravan in the current (fifth) generation debuted in 2007 at the Detroit auto show. A follower of the Grand Caravan on the market will be the Chrysler Voyager minivan, which is a simplified version of the Chrysler Pacifica.
