Dodge Journey vs. Mitsubishi Outlander Review

It costs about the same to get the Dodge Journey to the dealership as the Mitsubishi Outlander. The Mitsubishi will save you money at the pump compared to the Dodge Journey.

Utility
The Mitsubishi Outlander and the Dodge Journey can accommodate the same number of passengers. The Dodge Journey outpulls the Mitsubishi Outlander by a massive margin.

Convenience
You quite certainly won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Mitsubishi Outlander than with the Dodge Journey, because both offer comparable mileage ranges.

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

Dimensions
Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Dodge than the Mitsubishi because of its larger tank. The Mitsubishi Outlander and the Dodge Journey compete for the same parking spaces. The Mitsubishi Outlander's shorter wheelbase may produce a less-settled highway ride but a more maneuverable feel in daily traffic than the Dodge Journey.

Performance

Handling

Warranty
