How many seats are in a Dodge Journey?
The Dodge Journey typically seats five people, with an optional third-row seat available on certain trims to increase capacity to seven.
The seating arrangement on the Journey has varied by model year and trim. This article outlines the two main configurations—five-seat and seven-seat—and what that means for passenger space and cargo, with notes on availability and common trims.
Five-seat configuration (two rows)
Most Journey models were configured with two rows of seating, totaling five seats. Here’s how that layout breaks down.
- Front row: two seats (driver and front passenger)
- Second row: three seats (typically a bench that accommodates three)
With this setup, you have seating for five and generally more cargo space behind the second row compared with the seven-seat configuration.
Seven-seat configuration (three rows)
On certain trims and model years, a third row could be added to create seven seats, increasing passenger capacity but reducing available cargo space when the rear row is in use.
- Third row: two rear seats, accessible via the rear area depending on model year
- Total capacity: up to seven passengers when the third row is installed and in use
Note that the third-row seats are typically smaller and can be less comfortable for adults on longer trips; access and legroom vary by trim and configuration.
Notes on availability
Availability of the seven-seat option varied by model year and trim level. If you’re considering a Journey, verify the seating arrangement for the specific vehicle by inspecting the interior or checking the window sticker or owner’s manual.
Summary
The Dodge Journey offers five-seat standard seating, with an optional seven-seat configuration available on some trims and years thanks to a third-row seat. Always confirm the exact seating layout for a specific vehicle before purchase or lease.
