2017 Dodge Journey SXT

Description

Rooted in Dodge’s long history of building practical, family-focused vehicles with genuine performance credibility, the 2017 Dodge Journey SXT AWD carries that legacy into the modern SUV world with a confident stance and a purpose-driven cabin. Finished in striking Redline Pearl, this pre-owned Journey delivers the kind of everyday usability, road-trip comfort, and intelligent technology integration that have kept Dodge crossovers on the short list for drivers who want more than just basic transportation. Under the hood, the proven Pentastar 3.6L V-6 DOHC engine with variable valve control produces a robust 283 horsepower, paired to a 6-speed multi-speed automatic transmission with AUTOSTICK sequential shift control. The combination offers responsive performance for highway merging, passing, and fully loaded family drives, while the transmission’s lock-up function and overdrive gearing help balance power with efficiency.Full-time all-wheel drive, supported by all-speed ABS and driveline traction control, provides confident grip on wet pavement and variable road conditions. The sport ride suspension, independent front and multi-link rear setup, and gas-pressurized shocks work together to deliver controlled, stable handling without compromising day-to-day comfort. Inside, the Journey SXT focuses on versatility and thoughtful details. Premium cloth upholstery, bucket front seats with driver height adjustment, and a split-folding 40/60 rear bench with fore/aft adjustment and reclining backs let you quickly adapt the interior to people or cargo. Height-adjustable head restraints in both rows and anti-whiplash front headrests underscore Dodge’s emphasis on occupant comfort and safety. The cabin receives practical finishes such as a cloth headliner, full carpet floor covering with floor mats, and metal-look accents on the instrument panel and door inserts for a modern, clean appearance. Storage solutions are a strong point: a full floor console with covered storage, mini overhead console with additional storage, seatback pocket, door bins, rear under-seat tray, cargo tie-downs, cargo net, and concealed cargo-area compartment make it easy to stow everyday items and travel gear neatly.Illumination is well thought out, with front and rear reading lights, cargo-area lighting, illuminated entry, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror supporting night driving comfort. Climate management is handled by automatic dual-zone front climate control with a cabin air filter and rear under-seat ducts, allowing front passengers to fine-tune their own temperature settings while ensuring the second row remains comfortable. Power windows with one-touch up/down for both front occupants, deep-tinted glass, rear window defroster, and rear wiper contribute to comfort and visibility year-round. Technology and connectivity are a highlight of this Journey SXT, anchored by an intuitive 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen. The system integrates seek/scan radio, CD player, auxiliary input, external memory control, and wireless audio streaming. Steering-wheel-mounted and voice-activated audio controls, along with speed-sensitive volume, make it simple to adjust entertainment without distraction.Uconnect Phone hands-free wireless connectivity enables convenient calling and communication on the go. You also get one USB port, multiple 12V power outlets, and a 120V AC outlet to support phones, tablets, and small electronics during longer drives. The audio system uses six standard-grade speakers and a graphic equalizer to deliver clear sound throughout the cabin. An integrated roof antenna maintains reception while preserving the clean lines of the body. The driver information center with redundant digital speedometer, trip computer, exterior temperature display, and multiple gauges (including oil, transmission fluid temperature, and engine temperature) provides at-a-glance status for vehicle systems. On the safety front, the Journey SXT is equipped with seven airbags, including front, side, curtain, and a driver knee airbag, plus an airbag occupancy sensor.Four-wheel disc brakes with ventilated fronts, a four-channel ABS system, brake assist, and electronic stability control with anti-roll technology work together with tire-specific low-pressure monitoring to enhance control and awareness.

Body-coloured bumpers, black grille, black mirror caps, and roof rails create a unified, slightly athletic appearance, while 19 x 7-inch black aluminum wheels and all-season touring tires give it a confident stance. Remote-activated perimeter lighting, halogen reflector headlights with auto on/off, daytime running lights, front fog lights, and LED brake lights help ensure visibility in varying conditions.
