Posted on August 14, 2020
When driving around Ontario, you want a crossover SUV that's durable and stylish at the same time. For 2016, Dodge's Journey gives you exactly what you want, with choices of colors including new Olive Green and Jazz Blue Pearl, along with a number of trim levels and engines to choose from. The 2016 Dodge Journey continues to please both automotive journalists, as well as customers at Dodge dealers in Brampton, Bolton and the surrounding area. Those looking for style and power should take a look at one of Canada's best-known crossovers.
What's Under the Hood
If you're striving for looks and fuel economy, the standard 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine is for you. Paired up with a four-speed automatic, it turns in 2015 EnerGuide fuel consumption numbers of 12.7 L/100km in the city and 9.1 L/100km on the highway, giving you big-time looks while keeping your fuel expenses small-time.
For those looking for power, the 2016 Dodge Journey offers an optional 3.6-litre Pentastar engine teamed with a six-speed automatic that cranks out 283 horsepower. It comes in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions and produces numbers of 14.2 L/100km city and 9.4 L/100km highway in front-wheel drive. The all-wheel drive version turned in 14.5 L/100km city and 9.9 L/100km highway in EnerGuide tests. Edmunds called the Journey "…solid on the open highway, even over rough surfaces".
A Trim Level for Every Need
