Dodge launches new, premium Journeys

With the Dodge Journey proving more popular than expected in Canada and Mexico, Chrysler is adding new option packages while keeping the base models intact. While the SE is still $21,165 and the SXT remains $24,465, for 2010 there is a new Crew option package adding 19 inch chrome aluminum wheels, EVIC, UGDO, body-color sills, 3-zone temperature control, chrome roofrack, premium speakers and subwoofer, remote start, and seven-passenger seating for $27,495. The R/T model’s price has been raised by $1,000, with a newly standard seven-passenger seating with rear air and heater.

The value of the Crew package is reported at $2,025, and it is being sold for $885 extra.
