Dodge Journey vs. Hyundai Tucson Review

Performance
Regarding horsepower, the Journey packs quite a wallop and will knock the Hyundai Tucson down a few rungs. However, bear in mind that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
With their comparable turning circles, the Hyundai Tucson and the Dodge Journey definitely handle roughly the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Hyundai's engine is considerably smaller than the Dodge Journey's. Keep in mind that smaller engines can be stressed more; on the other hand, smaller engines typically get better gas mileage. The Hyundai Tucson could learn a lesson or two from the Dodge Journey as far as torque.

Utility
The Dodge will most certainly prove handier than the Tucson for those of you with frequent kid-cargo. The Journey outpulls the Tucson by a sizeable margin.

Convenience
You will definitely have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Hyundai Tucson than with the Dodge Journey.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Dodge Journey offers a bit more head room than the Tucson, there honestly isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the Hyundai Tucson make it roomier for your passengers than the Dodge.

Dimensions
Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Dodge Journey than the Hyundai Tucson because of its larger tank. The Hyundai Tucson and the Dodge Journey compete for the same parking spaces. The Hyundai Tucson's shorter wheelbase will give a more agile feel in daily traffic. On the flip side, the Dodge is likely to have a smoother, more stable ride.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs almost the same to get the Dodge Journey to the dealership as the Tucson. The Dodge will tax your gas budget significantly more than the Hyundai Tucson will. As far as fuel economy, the Hyundai Tucson bests the Dodge. As far as MSRP, the Dodge Journey costs considerably more than the Hyundai Tucson.

Warranty
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the Journey isn't quite as generous as the Hyundai Tucson's.
