Ukubuyekezwa Kohambo Lwe-Dodge: 2008-2015

U-Ewan Kennedy ubuyekeza i-Dodge Journey yango-2008, 2012 kanye no-2015 njengoba yasetshenziswa.

Nakuba i-Dodge Journey ibukeka njenge-SUV eyi-macho, mhlawumbe nedonsa ngawo wonke amasondo, iyimoto ephusile enemigqa emithathu yezihlalo kanye nekhono lokuthwala abantu abadala abayisikhombisa. Abantu abadala abane kanye nezingane ezintathu kuwumthwalo ongokoqobo.

Qaphela ukuthi lena yi-2WD, isondo langaphambili kuphela, ngakho-ke akufanele isuswe kuthrekhi eshayiwe. Imigwaqo ewubhuqu nemizila yasehlathini ilungile uma wazi ukuthi wenzani, amabhishi awucha-cha oqinisekile.

Abantu baseMelika bayawathanda amaveni abo, futhi i-Dodge Journey ibe yinhle kakhulu yonkana i-Pacific, kodwa ukuthengisa lapha kube okulinganiselwe kusukela kuqala ukufika phansi ngo-Agasti 2008.

Naphezu kokuthi inkulu, i-Dodge Journey kulula ukuyishayela.

Ingaphakathi le-Journey lihluke kakhulu; umugqa wesibili uhlala izihlalo ezintathu futhi uyakwazi ukushelela emuva naphambili ukuze ukwazi juggroom legroom nalabo abasezihlalweni ezingemuva kakhulu. Ukungena nokuphuma ezihlalweni zomugqa wesithathu akukubi kakhulu, kodwa njengenjwayelo, lezi zihlalo zizilungele kangcono izingane njengoba kudingeka ukuguquguquka. Futhi hlola i-legroom ngemuva uma kukhona izingane ezinkulu lapho.

Izihlalo zomugqa wesibili nowesithathu zibekwe phezulu kancane kunesangaphambili ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukubonakala phambili.

Kunezindawo eziningi zokugcina izinto ezahlukahlukene, kufaka phakathi imigqomo emibili ngaphansi kwesitezi esingemuva. Ingemuva lesihlalo somgibeli esingaphambili liyagoqa ukuze kushiyele umshayeli indawo.

Nakuba inkulu uma kuqhathaniswa, i-Dodge Journey kulula ukuyishayela njengoba ingaphezu kweveni yaseMelika evamile. Nokho ukubonakala okuya phambili kuphazanyiswa yizinsika ezinkulu ze-windscreen ezihlala buqamama nesihlalo somshayeli. Indingilizi ephendukayo ecishe ibe ngamamitha ayi-12 ayisizi ukuhambahamba ezindaweni zokupaka izimoto.

Amandla atholakala ngenjini engu-V6 kaphethroli noma nge-four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine. Uphethiloli wohlobo lwango-2008 wawunamandla angu-2.7 litres futhi wawungasebenzi ngokwanele. Zizame emigwaqweni enamagquma nenqwaba yabagibeli uma kungenzeka ukuthi uhamba nalolo hlobo lomthwalo kulezo zimo.

Injini ye-Dodge Journey engu-2.0 litre kadizili ingase ihambe kancane, kodwa uma isilungile futhi isebenza, iba ne-torque enhle yokudlula nokukhuphuka.

Ngesikhathi kwethulwa injini enkudlwana kaphethiloli ngo-2012, i-Journey yanyuswa ubuso nengemuva, yaphinde yathuthukiswa nangaphakathi, okuhlanganisa ne-dashboard entsha.

I-Journey inhle ngaphansi kwesikhala sebhonethi futhi oomakhenikha basekhaya bangenza owabo umsebenzi omncane. Nokho, ungathinti izinto zokuphepha.

Izintengo zezingxenye cishe zimaphakathi. Sizwile izikhalazo mayelana nokushoda kwamabhithi kanye nokulinda isikhathi eside kwezingxenye ezivela e-US.

Bheka umonakalo kumakhaphethi, izihlalo, kanye nendawo yokubeka umnyango ukuze uthole izimpawu zokungahlangani kahle noma umonakalo odalwe yizingane ezineshwa.

Izinjini zikaphethiloli kufanele ziqale cishe ngokushesha. Uma kungenjalo, kungase kube nezinkinga.

Izinjini zikadizili zingase zithathe imizuzwana embalwa ukuqalisa, ikakhulukazi uma kubanda. Isibani esiyisixwayiso sibonisa lapho injini isidlulile esigabeni sokushisa.

Ama-automatic transmissions kufanele asebenze ngokushelela futhi kalula, kodwa lokho kudizili kungase kunciphe ngezinye izikhathi ngesivinini esiphansi kakhulu. Thola uchwepheshe ozoyihlola uma unokungabaza.

Amabhuleki kufanele akudonse emugqeni oqondile ngaphandle kokuntengantenga.

Ukungalingani kwamasondo kungabangelwa ukushayela kabi noma ukwehluleka ukumiswa. Noma ngabe yikuphi, kuwuphawu oluhle lokuhlala kude nemoto.
