Dodge Journey vs. Mazda CX-7 Review

Handling
With their comparable turning circles, the Mazda CX-7 and the Dodge quite certainly handle almost the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Dodge Journey and the Mazda CX-7 have similar-sized engines, with a slight advantage to the Mazda CX-7. The CX-7 has no lessons to learn as far as torque from the Dodge.

Utility
The Dodge Journey will quite certainly prove handier than the Mazda for those of you with frequent kid-cargo.

Convenience
You quite certainly won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the CX-7 than with the Dodge, as both offer comparable ranges.

Comfort
Taller drivers will considerably enjoy the extra head room in the Dodge's front cabin compared to the Mazda. The Mazda CX-7 offers more head- and leg-room to your passengers than the Dodge Journey does.

Dimensions
Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Dodge Journey than the Mazda CX-7 because of its larger tank. The Mazda CX-7 and the Dodge Journey compete for the same parking spaces.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs roughly the same to get the Journey to the dealership as the Mazda CX-7. The Dodge Journey won't tax your gas budget substantially more than the Mazda CX-7 will. Producing an accurate gas mileage evaluation is so difficult that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though both the Mazda CX-7 and the Mazda CX-7 perform almost comparably with respect to fuel economy. With respect to MSRP, the Mazda CX-7 costs approximately as much as the Dodge Journey (though the Dodge Journey is somewhat cheaper).

Warranty
The Dodge Journey and the Mazda CX-7 have the same basic warranty.
