The 2018 Dodge Journey has a 2.4L I-4 engine on its CVP and SE Plus trims. This 4-cylinder powertrain offers some significant advantages related to value, practicality, and efficiency. What is a 4-cylinder engine?Â
A cylinder is simply a small container in the engine. The fuel injector sprays gas into this receptacle, the spark plug ignites it, and the resulting combustion pushes a piston, which then allows the motor to engage.
Efficiency
A 4-cylinder engine is more fuel-efficient than a V6 because it has fewer pistons requiring gas. If you are looking for a vehicle that costs less to operate, an I-4 like the Dodge Journey CVP is the perfect option.Â
Eco-FriendlinessÂ
4-cylinder engines are generally more environmentally friendly than their V6 peers. Since there are fewer pistons consuming fuel, there is also less exhaust produced. This means your vehicle will have a smaller carbon footprint overall.
Value
Finally, 4-cylinder engines are often lower-priced because they are lighter and easier to manufacture. The 2018 Dodge Journey CVP and SE Plus both offer this balance of value and practicality.Â
