2018 Dodge Journey Crossroad – Versatile V6 Power for Family Life

This 2018 Dodge Journey Crossroad is a value‑packed family SUV that combines three‑row seating, available all‑wheel drive, and a strong V6 engine. It’s made for buyers who want space, comfort, and towing capability without stepping up to a full‑size SUV.

Under the hood, the Crossroad is typically equipped with a 3.6L Pentastar V6 producing 283 horsepower and 260 lb‑ft of torque, paired with a 6‑speed automatic transmission and available AWD for extra confidence in poor weather. Official consumption for Crossroad models is about 14.2–14.5 L/100km in the city and 9.5–10.0 L/100km on the highway, with a combined rating around 12.1–12.5 L/100km, giving you solid power for passing, merging, and towing while still staying reasonable for a three‑row SUV. When properly equipped, it can tow up to 1,134–2,500 kg (2,500–5,000 lb), making it a practical choice for small trailers or recreational gear.edmunds+3

Inside, the Crossroad trim steps things up with a more upscale look and feel. You get leather‑trimmed seats (often with sport bolsters), heated front seats, a power driver’s seat, and a leather‑wrapped steering wheel, plus the big 8.4‑inch Uconnect touchscreen with Bluetooth, USB, auxiliary input, and available navigation. Optional features on many Crossroad models include a power sunroof, rear‑seat DVD entertainment, premium Alpine sound, remote start, and a heated steering wheel—perfect for Canadian winters. With seating for up to seven, there’s room for the whole family, and the second and third rows fold flat to create a large, practical load space for cargo.guideautoweb+2[youtube]​

Practicality is one of the Journey’s biggest strengths. With all seats in place, you get about 39.6 cubic feet of cargo space, expanding to 67.6 cubic feet with the rear rows folded, plus clever in‑floor storage bins and rear floor storage to keep smaller items out of sight. The Crossroad rides on 19‑inch wheels with P225/55R19 tires for a confident stance, and its compact‑for‑a‑three‑row footprint makes it easier to park and maneuver than many larger SUVs.edmunds+2

From daily school runs to road trips and towing toys on the weekend, it offers space, comfort, and capability in a package that delivers a lot of SUV for the money.edmunds+1
