Dodge Journey vs. Volkswagen Tiguan Review

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

Drivetrain
The Dodge Journey's engine is significantly more massive than the Tiguan's. Keep in mind that larger engines may use more gasoline than smaller ones. Torque equals pickup, and the Volkswagen will have picked up and gone by the time the Dodge finally gets moving. Torque is roughly equivalent to acceleration, and in this respect, the Volkswagen Tiguan is considerably more powerful than the Dodge Journey.

Comfort
Taller drivers will substantially enjoy the extra head room in the Dodge Journey's front cabin compared to the Volkswagen Tiguan. The Volkswagen Tiguan provides 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 Volkswagen Tiguan because of its larger tank. The Volkswagen Tiguan and the Dodge compete for the same parking spaces. The Volkswagen Tiguan's shorter wheelbase will likely give a more maneuverable feel in daily traffic. On the other hand, the Dodge Journey is likely to have a smoother, more stable ride.

Cost
