An all-new model for 2009, the Dodge Journey refines its trim lines for 2010. The SE trim line has been expanded with the base SE Canada Value Package, which has the same starting price as the 2009 SE, and the new SE Plus. The SXT and R/T add additional standard features. While all-wheel drive was an option on the top two trim lines for 2009, SXT is now front-wheel drive only, while the R/T is strictly all-wheel drive.

Numerous changes have been made to the various option packages. Floor mats are now a stand-alone option on Canada Value and are removed from the SE Plus Group; six premium speakers with subwoofer are not available on Canada Value, and are now part of the Premium Convenience Group on SXT; Rear Seat Video group is not available for Canada Value or SXT; UConnect and Sirius satellite radio is now packaged with the SE Plus Group; adjustable roof rail crossbars are moved from the SE Plus Group to the Exterior Appearance Group; and a premium instrument cluster with display and vehicle information is now available on SXT as part of the Premium Convenience Group. As well, SXT is no longer available with the Exterior Appearance or Chrome Appearance Group packages; and 19-inch cast aluminum or chrome-clad aluminum wheels are available as stand-alone options on SXT.

The Journey is available with a choice of two engines: a 2.4-litre four-cylinder in the SE Canada Value and SE, and a 3.5-litre V6 in the SXT and R/T models. The 2.4-litre uses a four-cylinder automatic transmission, while the 3.5-litre uses a six-speed automatic with manual shift mode. The SE and SXT models are front-wheel drive; the R/T is all-wheel drive.

All models feature seating for five, but all can be optioned with a Flexible Seating Group package which adds a third row for seven-passenger seating.
