Seven seats without paying big-SUV money is the whole reason most people rent a Dodge Journey in Dubai, and that's exactly the slot it fills in our fleet. We deliver and collect it free across the city, so you can size up to three rows for a family week without the daily cost of a Patrol or a Yukon. The argument here is simple. If you've got two adults, two or three kids and occasional extra passengers, the Journey gives you a third row and a comfortable road ride for far less than a newer three-row SUV. It's a front-wheel-drive family crossover, not an off-roader, and that trade is the point.
What you actually get for the money
The Journey is a midsize Dodge crossover with three rows, and it's roomy for what it costs to rent. The first two rows are genuinely comfortable for adults, with a tall seating position and a flat, easy floor for car seats. Power comes from either the four-cylinder or the 3.6-litre V6, and in Dubai heat and on Sheikh Zayed Road the V6 is the one worth asking for. It pulls a loaded car up to highway speed without strain and keeps the cabin quiet. The four-cylinder is fine empty around town and thirstier to drive hard when full.
It rides soft and settles well over expansion joints and speed bumps, which is what you want for a school run or an airport trip. It's comfortable rather than sporty, and nobody buys this car to corner. The cabin cooling holds up in a July afternoon, including to the back rows, which matters more than any performance number when it's 45 outside and the kids are in the third row.
The third row, honestly
This is where you decide between the Journey and a five-seat crossover, so I'll be straight about it. The third row is a kids' row and a short-trip row. Two children fit fine back there for a mall run, a beach day or a hop to the airport. Two average adults will manage twenty minutes and then start asking how far it is. Use it as an occasional bench, not a daily commuter for grown-ups, and the Journey makes a lot of sense.
That's the real case against a regular five-seater. You're adding a usable extra row cheaply, for the days your numbers spike, without committing to a full-size body you have to park and pay for the rest of the time. If your group is genuinely six or seven adults most days, this isn't your car. Step up to something larger.
Boot space and luggage
With all three rows up, the boot behind the back seats is small. Think a couple of soft bags or the weekly shop, not a full set of suitcases for seven. That's normal for a midsize three-row, and it's the honest limit of the format.
Fold the third row flat, which is quick to do, and the picture changes completely. In five-seat mode the Journey swallows a real family load: a week of luggage for four, a stroller, a cooler for the beach. There's also handy under-floor storage in the second-row footwells on many examples, useful for the bits you want out of sight. So plan around it. Seven up means light bags. Five up means proper holiday luggage.
Where it fits in Dubai, and where it doesn't
For tarmac life this car does the job. The airport run to DXB or DWC, the daily school and mall routine, a comfortable cruise down to Abu Dhabi for the weekend: all well within its comfort zone. We fit the Salik tag so the gates on Sheikh Zayed Road sort themselves out, and you just drive. Parking is easier than a full-size SUV in a packed Marina or Dubai Mall structure.
Where it doesn't belong is off the road. The Journey is front-wheel drive with modest ground clearance, so soft sand and wadi tracks are out. Don't take it to the dunes or down a rough Hatta trail. If desert driving is on your list, rent a proper 4WD for those days and keep the Journey for everything else.
Journey versus a newer three-row SUV
Here's the trade with the obvious alternative. A pricier or newer three-row SUV gives you a fresher cabin, more recent tech and, often, the option of all-wheel drive. The Journey gives you the same seat count for noticeably less, with a design that's older because the model was discontinued. You're trading modernity for value.
Because it's discontinued, availability and the age of any given car varies, so book early in peak season and tell us your dates so we hand you the best example we have. If you want the latest screens and driver aids, pay for the newer SUV. If you want seven seats, a comfortable ride and a sensible cost for a road-based family week, the Journey is the smarter rental.
FAQ — Common Questions Answered.
How many people can really sit in a Dodge Journey?
You get seven seats on paper, and that's accurate for the right mix of people. Two adults up front, two or three in the middle row, and the third row is best kept for kids or for adults on a short hop. For a full week with seven grown adults aboard, you'd be cramped, so it suits a family of four to six far better. Treat the back row as occasional seating and you'll be happy with it.
How much luggage fits with all seven seats in use?
Not much, and that's the honest answer. With the third row up, the boot holds only a few soft bags or a grocery run, not suitcases for everyone. Fold that row flat, which takes seconds, and you've got proper room for a family of four's holiday luggage plus a stroller. Plan for light bags when you're full, or travel five-up when you need the cargo space.
Who should rent the Journey instead of a five-seat crossover?
You should pick the Journey when you occasionally need a sixth or seventh seat but don't want to pay for a big SUV every day. It's ideal for a family that's usually four but sometimes has grandparents, cousins or the kids' friends along. The extra row costs you little and folds away when you don't need it. If your group is always six or seven adults, size up instead.
Can I take the Dodge Journey off-road or to the desert?
No, this one stays on tarmac. The Journey is front-wheel drive with limited ground clearance, so soft sand, dunes and rough wadi tracks aren't safe for it and aren't covered. It's built for the airport run, the school routine and the highway to Abu Dhabi, where it's comfortable and quiet. If you want a desert day, rent a 4WD for that part of your trip and use the Journey for everything else.
Is the Dodge Journey always available to rent in Dubai?
Availability varies because the Journey is a discontinued model, so the cars in service are older and we hold a limited number. In peak season, around school holidays and long weekends, the seven-seaters book out first. Give us your travel dates early and we'll confirm what we have and hand you the best-conditioned example available. If a specific car isn't free, we'll point you to the closest three-row alternative we run.
