2019 Dodge Journey fuel economy (EPA)
The EPA rates the 2019 Dodge Journey at 19–21 MPG combined; the 2.4L 4-cylinder (FWD) is the most efficient and the 3.6L 6-cylinder (FWD) the thirstiest. Every EPA test configuration is below, from the government's fuel-economy database.
City, highway and combined figures are in MPG (MPGe on electricity).
| Version | Engine | Transmission · drive | City | Hwy | Comb. | Fuel / yr | CO₂ g/mi |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Journey | 2.4L 4-cylinder | 4-speed automatic · FWD | 19MPG | 25MPG | 21MPG | $2,950 | 420 |
| Journey | 3.6L 6-cylinderFFV | 6-speed automatic · FWD | 17MPG | 25MPG | 19MPG | $3,300 | 456 |
| Journey AWD | 3.6L 6-cylinder | 6-speed automatic · AWD | 16MPG | 24MPG | 19MPG | $3,300 | 470 |
Source: U.S. EPA and Department of Energy, fueleconomy.gov. MPG is miles per gallon (MPGe for electric operation). Plug-in hybrids list gasoline-only MPG with the electric rating underneath. Annual fuel cost assumes 15,000 miles a year at the EPA's fuel-price assumptions, so yours will differ. Range is total driving range on a full tank or charge.

2019 Dodge Journey recalls & safety
What the U.S. government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has on file for the 2019 Dodge Journey: 1 recall campaign, 102 owner complaints and crash-test ratings. Fetched November 8, 2026.
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Ratings
| Version | Overall | Frontal | Side | Rollover |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dodge Journey SUV FWD | 18.5% risk | |||
| Dodge Journey SUV AWD | 17.9% risk |
Stars compare vehicles of similar weight; rollover shows the tested chance of a rollover in a single-vehicle crash.
Recalls (1)
Newest first. A campaign covers certain vehicles of this model year, not necessarily every one. To see which apply to a specific vehicle, and whether the fix has been done, enter its VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or ask a dealer; repairs are free of charge.
Back over prevention: sensing system: cameraAugust 26, 2025 · Campaign 25V552000
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2019-2021 Ram ProMaster and 2019-2020 Dodge Journey vehicles. Cracks in the microprocessor may cause the vehicle's rearview camera image not to display properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility.
Risk: A rearview image that does not display properly reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the rearview camera, free of charge. Interim notification letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed beginning September 30, 2025. A second notice will be sent once the final remedy is available, anticipated July 2026. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403.

Read for lake-effect country
What counts on a 2019 Dodge Journey from Michigan to Tennessee
We read the 2019 Journey owner data, service schedule and spec sheets with Kentucky driving in mind: frozen starts, salted highways, cratered streets and hills. These are the figures worth acting on.
Sidewall height versus broken pavement
Squalls off Lake Michigan and Lake Erie can drop snow faster than plows keep up, and then tire compound matters more than anything else on the vehicle. Starting from the factory P225/65R17 size, a true winter tire on 17-inch wheels grips packed snow far better than an all-season and leaves sidewall for the potholes the next thaw brings.
The oil grade on a January morning
The 2019 Dodge Journey fluids table lists SAE 5W-20, with 4.5 qt (2.4L) and 6 qt (3.6L) per change. Lake-effect winters are full of short, cold trips: to work, to school, to the store and home again before the engine reaches temperature. That pattern is tough on oil, so let the oil-change indicator set the interval and never stretch it.
Starting in single digits
Battery care in this schedule: inspect it and clean and tighten the terminals as required at each oil change, and the spec sheet rates it at 525 cold-cranking amps. A battery that bakes through a Nashville or Memphis summer ages faster, then gets found out by the first hard freeze. Have it load-tested in fall rather than waiting for a slow crank.
Drive systems for lake-effect snow
The 2019 lineup includes front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. Power at both axles pays off when a band off Lake Erie buries the Snowbelt east of Cleveland, or on a steep, unplowed road out of a hollow in eastern Kentucky. It gets you moving; stopping on ice is still up to the tires.
Antifreeze for both ends of the year
The system holds 8 to 10 qt (2.4L) and 13.1 to 14.5 qt (3.6L) of OAT coolant (10-year/150,000-mile formula). Stellantis manuals call for a 50/50 mix, good to about -34°F (-37°C), which is colder than a typical Great Lakes winter night; the real risk is dilution from top-ups with plain water. The same mix raises the boiling point for a loaded summer climb through the Tennessee mountains. A cheap tester checks the strength each fall.
Tank size for hill country
The 2019 Dodge Journey holds 20.5 to 21.1 gallons of fuel. Once you leave the interstate in West Virginia or eastern Kentucky, mountain routes can run a long way between stations, and the climbs burn more fuel than flat miles do. Fill up before heading into the hills.
Gravel hollow roads and the air filter
The schedule asks for more frequent air-filter attention in dusty conditions, beyond the normal replacement every 30,000 miles. Gravel roads up Appalachian hollows and coal-haul routes in West Virginia and eastern Kentucky qualify, so inspect the filter at each oil change if they are part of your week.
Data behind these notes: owner's manual capacities, the Mopar service schedule and factory spec sheets. Regional advice is general, written for drivers from Kentucky to Indiana.
