“Dodge Journey needs power liftgate, either as a option or standard. It is very annoying to have to get out of car to open or close the lift gate.”
2015 Dodge Journey: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2015 Dodge Journey is a carryover with no major confirmed product changes. Its engines, transmissions, safety equipment, infotainment, and overall design stay essentially the same as in 2014.
About the 2015 Dodge Journey
1st generation Journey, after the 2011 refresh; 2015 is a late-cycle year with a new Crossroad trim but no redesign.
Dodge positions the Journey as a flexible family crossover for commuting, carpools, errands, and road trips. The big selling points are interior storage, available seating for up to seven, easy cabin access, and straightforward touchscreen controls, with optional V6 power and AWD for shoppers who want more punch. In plain terms, the Journey is the do-a-little-bit-of-everything Dodge crossover: family-friendly, cargo-friendly, and sized between smaller two-row crossovers and larger three-row SUVs.
For 2015, the Journey lineup stretches from the basic, family-focused AVP to more distinctive upper trims. Crossroad pairs dark exterior details and 19-inch wheels with leather-trimmed seats and an 8.4-inch touchscreen, while Limited emphasizes heated comfort features and a standard V6. R/T adds firmer suspension tuning, a stronger audio system, and red-stitched heated leather seats.
