The Dodge Journey is a mid-size crossover SUV[5] 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,[6] and was marketed globally in both left- and right-hand drive, including as the Fiat Freemont.

Internally identified as the JC49,[7] the Journey shares FCA's global D-segment platform[8] with the Dodge Avenger and a nearly identical wheelbase to the outgoing short-wheelbase (SWB) Dodge Caravan.[9]

Having debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show,[10][11] the Journey subsequently appeared at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show.[12] All models were manufactured in Mexico at FCA's Toluca Assembly facility, with just over 1.1 million manufactured before production ended in 2020.
