The price reference is the median of configuration medians, not the median of all active cars. Each configuration has equal weight. Configurations with at least 3 priced listings are used when available; otherwise the reference uses the configurations with a recorded price. Model years, mileage and condition vary. Open a model-year report below for its asking prices across all engines.

Where the 3.6L 6-cyl sits in the Journey engine lineup

Every engine family this model was sold with, ordered by size. The bar spans the model years recorded for it; the price is a reference across priced configurations, with each configuration weighted equally. Older engines look cheaper because the cars are older — overlapping years alone do not match the vehicles by age, trim, mileage or condition.

The 3.6L 6-cyl Journey: common questions

Which Journey years have the 3.6L 6-cyl?

2011–2019, without a break — 9 model years in our VIN decode, across 81 factory configurations and 145,590 VINs.

What does a 3.6L 6-cyl Journey cost?

$8,300 is a configuration price reference: the median of configuration medians, with each priced configuration weighted equally. It is not a listing-level median or a valuation of an individual car. The year-by-year ladder shows VIN and inventory counts; its links open model-year price reports covering all engines.

Is the 3.6L 6-cyl turbocharged?

No — every configuration in this family decodes as naturally aspirated.
