I have seen the 2009 Dodge Journey recently and it quite caught my attention - most especially by its interior features. Some may think it is cheap and very usual. But personally, I could see that behind its simplicity is the comfort and ease that I could scarcely find in most vehicles nowasays. It has been designed for those who love carrying sorts of stuff for travel. As I could see, the storage is impressive and the seats are spacious.
Seating and Storage
- Standard Five-passenger Seating with Available 5+2 Seating provides flexible seating and cargo capability
- Available Occasional Use, 5+2, 50/50-split Third-row Seat with Recline feature folds flat for added cargo space when not in use
