Chrysler reveals upgrades to 2011 Dodge Journey | detnews.com | The Detroit News

Chrysler Group LLC today released pictures of the upgrades to the 2011 Dodge Journey midsize crossover that goes on sale this quarter.

The Journey, which comes as a five- or seven-passenger vehicle, has a new suspension, the new Pentastar V-6 engine and upgrades to the interior.

The big news here, of course, is the Journey's newly crafted interior with higher-quality materials which puts the outgoing model's cabin to shame (not that it was hard..). Just about everything you see on the dashboard is new, including the sporty looking instrument panel with a standard electronic vehicle information center featuring a full-color display backlit.

The makeover is completed with a new multi-functioning three-spoke steering wheel, larger front storage bin with side nets, newly designed seats and controls, as well as an available Uconnect Touch media center with a touch-screen display. Dodge said the mid-size crossover offers six new interior color and trim options.

On the outside, the cosmetic changes are far less prominent and are limited to the new front fascia sporting the brand's signature "split crosshair" honeycomb grille, restyled fog lamp bezels, available 19-inch wheels, a less angular rear fascia and LED tail-lamps. In addition, the V6 models get a more aggressive lower fascia with a honeycomb grille.
