Dodge Journey vs. Kia Borrego Review

Utility
Neither the Borrego nor the Journey has a marked advantage regarding seating capacity. Towing is considerably more the Kia Borrego's forte than it is the Dodge Journey's.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Kia packs quite a punch and will knock the Dodge down a few rungs. On the other hand, bear in mind that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums. With that kind of horsepower, the Borrego is a genuine speedster.

Dimensions
The Kia Borrego is significantly heavier than the Dodge Journey. The Borrego's tank is approximately the same size as the Dodge Journey's, though the Dodge's is a bit bigger. The Kia and the Dodge Journey compete for the same parking spaces.

Convenience
You most certainly won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Kia Borrego than with the Journey, as both offer similar mileage ranges.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs approximately the same to get the Dodge Journey to the dealership as the Kia Borrego. There isn't much of a difference in gas mileage here, but if you must know, the Dodge Journey is a little more economical than the Borrego. In terms of fuel economy, the Journey and the Kia Borrego don't differ much. When it comes to MSRP, the Dodge Journey costs significantly less than the Kia Borrego.

Handling
With their similar turning circles, the Kia Borrego and the Dodge Journey likely handle roughly the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Dodge Journey's engine is tremendously smaller than the Kia's. Keep in mind that a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder; on the other hand, smaller engines are often cheaper to fix. Torque equals pickup, and the Kia Borrego will have picked up and gone by the time the Dodge Journey finally gets moving. The Kia Borrego packs quite a punch compared to the Dodge Journey with respect to torque, which is the force that lets you accelerate quickly.

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

Overview
The basic warranty that comes with the Dodge Journey isn't quite as generous as the Kia's.
