How many does a Dodge Journey fit?

The Dodge Journey can seat up to seven people when equipped with the optional third-row seat; the standard configuration carries five.

Seating options: 5 or 7 passengers

The Journey is available in two main passenger configurations. In the five-passenger setup, there are two front seats and a second-row seat (which can be a bench or two captain’s chairs). The seven-passenger configuration adds a third row of seats, bringing the total to seven by using two seats in the second row (often captain’s chairs) and three seats in the rear row.

Second-row choices

Depending on trim and year, the second row may be a three-seat bench or two captain’s chairs. This choice directly affects whether the vehicle can carry seven or five passengers, as well as cargo flexibility.

Note: Availability of the seven-passenger layout varies by model year and market. Always verify the exact seating configuration for the specific vehicle you’re considering.

Before listing the configurations, the following options illustrate typical layouts:



• Five-passenger configuration: front row (2) plus a single second-row row (3) for a total of five occupants.


• Seven-passenger configuration: two seats in the second row plus a three-seat third row, for a total of seven occupants.


• Notes: Availability of the seven-passenger setup depends on year, trim, and optional packages; some markets may not offer it on certain model years.

Concluding note: The seven-seat setup is especially valued by families or carpoolers, but it reduces cargo space behind the rear row compared with the five-seat arrangement.

How to verify seating on a specific Dodge Journey

To confirm the exact seating capacity of a particular vehicle, use these checks and sources:

• Window sticker or owner's manual for official seating configuration.


• VIN/build sheet to identify trim and optional seating packages.


• Inspect the vehicle’s second- and third-row seating to visualize how many passengers can fit.

Concluding guidance: If you’re shopping used, ask the dealer for the seating configuration and test the seat folding/removal to ensure it matches your needs.

Summary

The Dodge Journey offers five- and seven-passenger configurations depending on trim and options. The seven-seat setup uses two seats in the second row and a three-seat third row, bringing the total to seven. Always verify the specific vehicle’s seating arrangement before purchase, as availability varies by year and market.
