2014 Dodge Journey Vehicle Review

Allen Mello Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ramwww.allenmellododgenashua.com

The 2014 Dodge Journey ranks 15 out of 23 Affordable Compact SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of published reviews and test drives of the Dodge Journey, as well as reliability and safety data.

While they like its available infotainment system, reviewers say the 2014 Dodge Journey's underpowered four-cylinder engine and poor fuel economy estimates put it behind other compact SUVs.

Test drivers agree that the 2014 Dodge Journey's standard four-cylinder engine and four-speed automatic transmission are underpowered and unrefined when compared to the competition. For a smoother, more powerful ride, reviewers recommend the V6 engine with a six-speed automatic transmission, which is available on higher trims. The base Journey receives fuel economy estimates of 19/26 mpg city/highway, which are some of the lowest in the class. While the V6 option packs more power, its fuel economy estimates are only slightly less than those of the four-cylinder engine. Critics say the Dodge Journey doesn't have very sporty handling, but some say it's smooth over rugged roads and composed around corners.  

Reviewers like the Dodge Journey's convenient interior features, including integrated child booster seats in the second row and storage spaces in the rear floor and under the front passenger's seat. Test drivers say these storage spaces are great for carrying snacks and storing small valuables. They also like the Journey's soft-touch materials. Critics say that the first-row and second-row seats are roomy; however, they agree that the optional third row  has sufficient space only for small children. The Journey offers notable standard features like push-button start, dual-zone air conditioning and heated sideview mirrors.
