2015 Dodge Journey Five-Point Inspection
5. Polar Bear in the Snow
As much fun as I was having sliding the Journey around, most owners will not be doing this. Maybe their teenage children will, but I expect most owners will care more how it handles snowy conditions from a safety and control aspect.
Equipped with the proper winter tires like my test vehicle, the Journey it’s incredibly grippy and sure footed on snow and ice. On a few portions of the snow courses I was driving well over 60 MPH without issue. When a corner came, the Journey slowed down in a predictable fashion.
Part of the reason it is so easy to slide around and fun is because the driver always feels in control of the Journey which boosts confidence in snowy conditions. It may be an aging crossover that’s definitely due for an update, but Journey continues to be a value packed crossover capable of tackling any climate in North America.
