First Look at the 2021 Dodge Journey in Las Cruces NM

If you're looking for a very affordable, three-row SUV or crossover, the 2021 Dodge Journey in Las Cruces NM is probably the most inexpensive one on the market today. Stop by Viva Dodge for an up-close look.

The crossover and SUV class of vehicles is the fastest growing of all segments and choices are seemingly endless. Even the ones with three rows of seating have a pretty good selection in the midsize range. For Mopar and Fiat Chrysler fans who don't want to shell out big bucks for the Dodge Durango, there's the good looking Dodge Journey that starts pricing at thousands of dollars below its rivals. This midsize crossover seats up to seven people with ample space in the first and second rows. The way back row is best for smaller passengers.

For 2020 the number of existing trim options was cut from three to just two: the SE Value and the Crossroad. The available powertrain is the 2.4 liter 4-cylinder that puts out 172 hp, mated with a 4-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. The addition of standard rear park assist to all models along with a sunroof as standard for the Crossroad trim was new for 2020 as well. 

Choosing a 2021 Dodge Journey in Las Cruces NM

The options selection process should be easier now with the introduction of the Popular Equipment Group, which bands several features together, depending upon the trim level. With the SE Value trim you get the user-friendly Uconnect infotainment system with a 4.3 touchscreen with Voice Command and Bluetooth, SiriusXM Satellite radio, a 6-way power adjustable driver's seat, 3-zone climate control, leather wrapped shifter and steering wheel, and security alarm. The 2021 Dodge Journey in Las Cruces NM adds remote start, a universal garage door opener, fog lights, heated front seats and steering wheel, navigation, a 6-speaker audio system with a subwoofer, and an 8.4-inch touchscreen to the Crossroad trim, along with what's included on the lower trim. Cloth upholstery is standard on the SE Value, but the Crossroad trim has leather. Another Crossroad option package, the Rear Seat Video Group, includes a rear seat entertainment system with a second row, 9-inch monitor, wireless headphones, 368-watt audio system, and remote control.

Not only is the 2021 Dodge Journey in Las Cruces NM affordable, it's extremely practical. The interior is easily arranged and has loads of cubby storage for everyone's stuff. The third row seat is split 50/50 and the second row has a 60/40 split to easily increase the available cargo space. Along with the numerous compartments in and around the console, the front passenger seat cushion hides a nicely sized storage bin underneath, and there are two large compartments beneath the second row floor as well.

Being a three-row crossover, the 2021 Dodge Journey in Las Cruces NM, like its competitors, isn't really all that engaging to drive. However, it has a softer suspension which makes for a really smooth and comfortable ride, even over bumpy roads. It easily navigates rutted roads and tight city streets and still delivers a quiet ride. Not so big as to be unmanageable, but big enough to be versatile and useful, the Dodge Journey should be a perfect size for many families.
