Dodge Journey SE, Crossroad, GT & More

In the final lineup, SE Value is the basic seven-seat trim, while Crossroad adds an 8.4-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, upgraded seat coverings, a power driver seat, and a sunroof. Both use the same four-cylinder engine, four-speed automatic, and front-wheel drive.

In years when both were sold, SXT is the more polished everyday trim. It typically adds 17-inch alloy wheels, fog lamps, and body-color heated mirrors while retaining the Journey’s practical seating layout and straightforward touchscreen system.

SXT Plus focuses on cabin comfort and technology. It adds an 8.4-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, a power driver seat with back support adjustment, a fold-flat front passenger seat with hidden storage, and leather wrapping for the steering wheel and shifter.

During the years they overlapped, Crossroad Plus builds on Crossroad’s rugged-looking theme with more cabin equipment. Key upgrades include leather and mesh seating, an 8.4-inch touchscreen, three-zone automatic climate control, and a power driver seat.

In their shared era, Crossroad emphasizes styling and comfort, while GT is the performance-leaning top trim. GT brings a standard V6, six-speed automatic, firmer suspension, leather-trimmed seats, and 19-inch wheels.

In the mid-2010s lineup, Limited is the comfort-first choice, with a standard V6, heated leather-trimmed front seats, a heated steering wheel, remote start, and the larger touchscreen. Crossroad puts more emphasis on a darker, rugged-looking appearance.

They fill the same top-trim role in different eras. Dodge renamed R/T as GT for 2017 without a model-wide mechanical update. Both center on V6 power, firmer suspension tuning, larger wheels, and a richer cabin.

AVP means American Value Package. In the early 2010s, it was the entry Journey, built around a four-cylinder engine, keyless start, dual-zone manual climate control, a 4.3-inch touchscreen, and second-row floor storage.

They are names from the refreshed 2011 lineup. Express is the basic four-cylinder version with the updated cabin and small touchscreen. Mainstreet is the stronger middle trim, adding the 3.6-liter V6, six-speed automatic, and alloy wheels.

Crew is a comfort-oriented upper-middle trim from the early 2010s. It combines a standard V6 with an 8.4-inch touchscreen, automatic climate control, remote start, a power driver seat, and flexible front-passenger-seat storage.

Look toward the entry trims for the simplest setup. Their names change by era, including Express, AVP, SE, and SE Value. They focus on the Journey’s space, storage, keyless start, and basic touchscreen controls rather than upscale cabin equipment.

Look for a V6 trim rather than the four-cylinder. Depending on the era, that may mean Mainstreet, Crew, Limited, R/T, or GT. The final two-trim lineup is an exception because both SE Value and Crossroad use the four-cylinder.

The 8.4-inch touchscreen appears mainly on better-equipped trims. Depending on the era, examples include SXT Plus, Crew, Crossroad Plus, Crossroad, Limited, LUX, R/T, and GT. Entry trims generally use the smaller 4.3-inch screen.
