The Journey gets a one-piece instrument panel with larger cluster of gauges. In the middle is a full-color vehicle information screen backlit in Dodge's red lights.

There's more storage space, new seats and new colors and trims. The ride is also enhanced with reengineered suspension geometry.

Let's not forget what really improves the drive--the engine. The Journey is fortified with the Pentastar V6 that makes 283 hp in this vehicle. The Journey comes with a folding third-row seat and is available with all-wheel drive.

The exterior gets changes to the fascia and fog lamps. There also are LED taillights that Dodge likens to a "ring of fire."
