The base engine is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder that generates a respectable 173 horsepower, making it suitable for everyday commuting and city driving. For those craving a little more power, an optional 3.5-liter V6 engine produces an impressive 235 horsepower, ensuring spirited acceleration and confident highway merging. Both engines come paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission, while the V6 model offers available all-wheel drive for better traction in various road conditions.

Higher trims include added luxuries such as a touchscreen infotainment system, Bluetooth connectivity, and a rear entertainment system for keeping passengers entertained on long trips. Safety features like optional rear parking sensors and a navigation system make the Journey a smart choice for families.
