The Chrysler pacífica is a 5-door SUV from Chrysler, built from 2008 to 2020, in the decade of stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids. Under the bonnet: Petrol engine. Ryan Nagode drew it.
The story
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 generation, with a facelift for the 2011 model year. The Journey was styled by Ryan Nagode, and was marketed globally (except the Middle East) in both left- and right-hand drive, including as the Fiat Freemont.
Internally identified as the JC49, the Journey shares FCA's global D-segment platform with the Dodge Avenger and a nearly identical wheelbase to the outgoing short-wheelbase (SWB) Dodge Caravan. Having debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Journey subsequently appeared at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. All models were manufactured in Mexico at FCA's Toluca Assembly facility, with just over 1.1 million manufactured before production ended in 2020.

Its place in the line
Its family tree is legible: it took over from the For Fiat Freemont: / Fiat Ulysse / Fiat Croma; its successor was the Dodge Journey (second generation) (Mexico); assembly was at Toluca (TCA), Mexico. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Nissan 370Z, the Tesla Roadster, the Hyundai i30 — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Chrysler catalogue sit the Chrysler Falcon and the Chrysler Chronos.
