Dodge Journey Performance Overview
Dodge’s three-row crossover ran from 2009 to 2017, and across 6 independently verified tests in five model years, the Journey shows a narrow but measurable performance arc within a single gasoline-powered generation. Output ranged from 235 to 283 hp, with naturally aspirated V6 power culminating in Pentastar-equipped models, and every recorded test falls within a 0-60 window of 8.3 to 7.1 seconds. The earliest benchmark came from the 2009 R/T V6 at 8.3 seconds to 60 mph, establishing the model’s initial pace.
By 2011, the Crew V6 reduced that figure to 7.5 seconds, marking the first clear improvement in the Journey’s acceleration profile. The range peaked in 2013, when the R/T V6 posted the model’s quickest runs: 7.1 seconds from 0-60 mph and 15.7 seconds at 87 mph in the quarter-mile. Across all six tests, the averages settled at 7.82 seconds to 60 mph and 16.12 seconds at 85.9 mph through the quarter-mile.
With no hybrid or electric variants in the recorded sample and no second-generation reset, the Journey’s performance story today remains defined by those mid-cycle V6 gains, with the 2013 R/T V6 standing as the quickest verified production example.

How we verify Dodge Journey performance data
We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Dodge Journey trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
