Dodge Journey (2008 - 2010 )  

Chunky, SUV-like 5 + 2 seven-seater, with lower emissions than a 4x4 7-seater and Getrag Powershift twin-clutch auto option.

Not cheaper than a 7 seat MPV, not special to drive, VW 2.0 TDI PD a bit weak for the weight.

Introduction

If you think of the Qashqai +2 as a 7-seater Qashqai, then you'd be forgiven for looking at the Journey as a 7-seater Caliber.

But it's a bit better than that.

Like the Caliber, it's front-drive only, not the 4x4 it appears to be. So it's easier on fuel, yet shrugs off kerbs and speed cushions as effectively as an SUV.
