2017 Dodge Journey

Select a year

• Lows Underpowered engines, ponderous handling, lack of technology.
• Verdict The Journey is a practical choice for families on a tight budget, but rival crossovers beat it in most key areas.

Introduced nearly a decade ago, the aging mid-size Journey has survived this long thanks to its affordability and practicality, but it’s decidedly lacking in the latest technology and safety equipment. Despite the availability of five trim packages, the choice of inline-four and V-6 engines, front- or all-wheel drive, and five- or seven-passenger seating, the Journey is just not truly competitive with the best family crossovers. It’s only worth considering if there’s a steep discount working in your favor.

What's New for 2017?

Not much. Other than a few new paint colors, the Journey’s biggest update this year was the renaming of its top trim level from R/T to GT.

Original MSRP:

• SE: $22,290
• SXT: $26,590
• Crossroad: $28,090
• Crossroad Plus: $29,835
• GT: $33,090

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

The base Journey comes with an underpowered 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and an ancient four-speed automatic transmission that’s best avoided. We can confidently say that its 173 horsepower isn't enough to adequately power this two-ton SUV. Even the 283-hp V-6 model is slower than most rivals. The bigger engine is punchy enough for everyday driving, but its six-speed automatic transmission is sometimes slow on the uptake when you request more power, hampering the Journey’s responsiveness. Front-wheel drive is standard with either engine; all-wheel drive is optional on the V-6 and not available with the inline-four. The Journey’s numb, ponderous handling leaves it wallowing in corners with lots of body roll and imprecise steering. The benefit of its soft suspension, however, is a comfortable ride on the freeway.

Fuel Economy

Interior, comfort, and cargo.

The Journey’s cabin is far from upscale, and fitting anyone in the third row—even children—requires compromises from those in the second row. Cheap-feeling bits, such as a plasticky shifter and hollow-sounding interior door-trim panels, are especially egregious in higher-trim Journeys. Several luxury features, including a power-adjustable passenger seat, cooled seats, and heated rear seats are notable in their absence from the options list. Practicality is one of the few areas where the Journey shines: its interior is easily configurable, and it has tons of cubby storage for odds and ends, even if its total cargo capacity isn’t as large as some rivals.

Infotainment and Connectivity

The Journey comes with the same easy-to-use Uconnect touchscreen as many other Dodge products. However, only the optional system, with its larger screen, incorporates the latest connectivity features. The Journey’s standard infotainment setup has a small 4.3-inch touchscreen with only the basics: AM/FM radio, a USB port, and an auxiliary audio jack. We’d choose the optional 8.4-inch touchscreen, which has much larger touch zones and more available features, including optional navigation, voice command, and Bluetooth connectivity. Neither Apple CarPlay nor Android Auto is offered, and there’s only a a single USB port up front.

2017 Dodge Journey Overview

Is the 2017 dodge journey a good used suv.

Be good to yourself – don’t get the 2017 Dodge Journey. It has a comfortable ride, an easy-to-use infotainment system, and a lower average price than most other midsize SUVs . However, this is one Journey you won't want to take with open arms. It has an underpowered base engine, noticeable body roll in corners, and poor predicted reliability and safety ratings. It also has below-average cargo space for the class.

How Much Does the 2017 Dodge Journey Cost to Own?

The 2017 Dodge Journey's five-year estimated costs for fuel, insurance, maintenance, and repairs are projected to be about $25,160 – or $5,030 per year. By comparison, five-year costs for the 2017 Kia Sorento and 2017 Dodge Durango are about $24,250 and $26,880, respectively.

Is It Better to Buy a Used or New Journey?

Unlike previous model years, the 2018 Dodge Journey comes standard with a third row of seats. Also, Dodge reduced the lineup to four trims for 2018. Other than that, the 2017 Journey is relatively similar and costs less than the 2018 model.

Read about the new Dodge Journey »

You'll be hard pressed to find a comparable 2018 midsize SUV that costs nearly the same as the 2017 Dodge Journey. But don’t stop believing that you can do better than the Journey. If you're willing to pay a bit more, consider the 2018 Kia Sorento . Like the Journey, the Sorento features a user-friendly infotainment system and offers a comfortable ride. Beyond that, the Kia and the Journey are worlds apart. The Sorento has a higher fuel economy rating, more passenger room, and a little more overall cargo space. The Kia's cabin is also more upscale than the Journey's.

Which Used Dodge Journey Model Is Right for Me?

The 2017 Dodge Journey comes in five trims: SE, SXT, Crossroad, Crossroad Plus, and the top-of-the-line GT. Since the base trim's features are scarce, we recommend the Crossroad Plus, which has leather bucket seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a six-way power-adjustable driver's seat, an 8.4-inch touch screen, voice command, Bluetooth, and satellite radio.

2017 Dodge Journey Safety

Score: 8.4/10.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the 2017 Dodge Journey the highest rating of Good in four crash tests and the lowest rating of Poor in the driver-side small overlap front crash test. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave the Journey four out of five stars overall, along with four stars in frontal and rollover crash tests and five stars in the side crash test.

Available advanced safety features include a rearview camera and rear parking sensors.

2017 Dodge Journey Versus the Competition

Which is better: 2017 dodge journey or 2017 kia sorento.

The 2017 Kia Sorento is one of the highest-ranked midsize crossovers in the class. Unlike the Journey, it has top-notch predicted reliability, high safety scores, and an upscale cabin. Additionally, it has better gas mileage estimates and more overall passenger and cargo space than the Journey. Besides the Journey's lower average list price, there's really no reason to go on this Journey.

Which Is Better: 2017 Dodge Journey or 2017 Dodge Durango?

If you still want to stay in the Dodge family, the 2017 Dodge Durango also sits in the midsize SUV class. Though both vehicles have low predicted reliability, the Durango is the better SUV of the two. Inside, the Durango has a larger cargo bay and more passenger space. Performance-wise, the Durango has a powerful base engine and nimble handling – things you can't say about the Journey.

Compare the Journey, Sorento, and Durango »

2017 Journey Performance

How does the 2017 dodge journey drive.

The Journey has a comfortable ride, but it exhibits excessive body roll around corners. A sluggish 173-horsepower four-cylinder engine powers the 2017 Dodge Journey. However, some models come with a stronger 283-horsepower V6. The standard four-speed automatic transmission is outdated and unrefined. The V6 comes with a six-speed automatic that is slow to downshift. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is available.

Does the 2017 Dodge Journey Get Good Gas Mileage?

The 2017 Dodge Journey delivers 19 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. With the V6 engine, efficiency drops to 17/25 mpg city/highway. The 2017 Kia Sorento delivers 21/28 mpg city/highway, and the 2017 Dodge Durango gets 19/26 mpg city/highway.

2017 Journey Interior

How many people does the 2017 journey seat.

The base 2-row 2017 Dodge Journey seats five. Some higher trims add a third row that increases capacity to seven. The first two rows are adult friendly, but only the young can fit in the optional third row. Cloth upholstery is standard, but some models come with leather upholstery and heated front seats.

How Many Car Seats Fit in the 2017 Dodge Journey?

There are two full sets of LATCH child-seat connectors on the 2017 Journey's second-row outboard seats. There’s also an upper tether and a right lower anchor on the middle seat. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the Journey the second-lowest rating of Marginal for its ease of use. Some upper tethers are hard to find and can be confused with other hardware. Also, some lower anchors are too deep in the seats and difficult to maneuver around.

2017 Dodge Journey Features

Standard features include a USB port, a 4.3-inch touch screen, and a six-speaker audio system. Some models come with voice command, Bluetooth, an 8.4-inch touch screen, a premium audio system, and dual-zone automatic climate control.
