Dodge Journey vs. Mazda Tribute Review

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 Dodge Journey to the dealership as the Tribute. Producing an exact fuel economy evaluation is so difficult that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though the Mazda Tribute is the winner regarding gas mileage. The Journey will tax your gasoline budget considerably more than the Tribute will. With respect to MSRP, the Dodge Journey costs almost as much as the Mazda Tribute (though the Mazda Tribute is a little cheaper). The Mazda Tribute will save you a bundle at the pump every year compared to the Dodge. The Dodge Journey will cost you a lots_of_money in gas every year compared to the Tribute.

Utility
Drivers with frequent kid-duty might favor the Dodge Journey over the Mazda Tribute. Towing is significantly more the Dodge Journey's forte than it is the Mazda Tribute's.

Convenience
The Dodge Journey's fuel tank will need to be replenished slightly more often than the unit in the Mazda Tribute.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Dodge offers a bit more head room than the Mazda Tribute, there frankly isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the Mazda make it more spacious for your passengers than the Dodge.

Dimensions
Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Journey than the Mazda Tribute because of its larger tank. The Mazda Tribute and the Journey compete for the same parking spaces. The Dodge Journey's longer wheelbase will result in a smoother, more stable ride; however, the Mazda Tribute may give a sprier feel in daily traffic.

Performance
Regarding horsepower, the Dodge Journey packs quite a punch and will knock the Mazda Tribute down a few rungs. On the other hand, keep in mind that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
With their similar turning circles, the Mazda Tribute and the Dodge likely handle about the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Mazda Tribute's engine isn't much bigger than the Dodge Journey's. The Dodge has no lessons to learn regarding pickup from the Mazda.

Warranty
The Dodge Journey and the Mazda Tribute have the same basic after-sale protection.
