DETROIT Dodge is working to stand out in the compact crossover segment with the Hornet, a peppy newcomer infused with the brand's. The most powerful Journey of the era had a 3.6-liter V6 with 283 hp, and it's presumed a supercharger would be added into the mix. The 2023 Dodge Hornet is the brand's first plug-in hybrid. The Dodge Journey is a mid-size crossover SUV manufactured and marketed by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Dodge brand for model years 2009 to 2020 over a single. Rumors of the SRT6 model date back to 2013 and suggest a V6 engine would be used, just like in the 2005-2006 Chrysler Crossfire SRT6, which had a similar 3.2-liter to the Mercedes SLK roadster. The Journey's platform doesn't allow for a V8 to be used. The plan called for the Journey to be ' aligned with Dodge DNA,' which could only mean adding power since the hardcore models were also coming out at that time.īut how? There's not a lot of firm information on this. The Journey was arguably more reliably and successful than the Dart, and it was supposed to get an SRT model too.Īccording to the Dodge Brand Product Plan of the last decade (announced in Fiat-Chrysler's 5-year plan back in 2013), the Journey SRT6 was supposed to arrive in early 2017, but it never ended up being produced. One example of this is the Dart SRT4, which got confirmed and later canceled as the compact sedan itself got discontinued. Well, Dodge actually has a long history of short-lived performance cars. If Dodge made a real Journey Mopar, it probably wouldn't have this feature.

Another interesting upgrade is the scalloped indentation added to the doors, an element taken from the Charger. The compact crossover will be Dodge's new entry-level vehicle, with a starting price of less than 30,000 for a Hornet GT model with a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine.
The Journey is over ten years old, and there's no mistaking that, but it's not like the Charger and Challenger are new, and they've managed to disguise that just fine.īigger wheels let you know this family hauler means business.
The artist made several cosmetic changes that take this vehicle from relatively mild to 100% wild.įor example, the hood gets a gigantic scoop, while the headlights have LEDs for a more modern look. This rendering by wb.artist20 shows the Dodge Journey crossover as a Hellcat, and we think it's pretty entertaining.
