Honda CR-V vs. Dodge Journey Review

Performance
In terms of horsepower, the Dodge Journey packs quite a wallop and will knock the Honda CR-V down a few rungs. However, note that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
With their similar turning circles, the Honda CR-V and the Dodge Journey definitely handle approximately the same into and out of tight spots.

Utility
Drivers with frequent child-duty might favor the Dodge over the Honda CR-V. The Dodge Journey is a better choice than the Honda CR-V in terms of hauling capacity, especially if you frequently need to carry a lot of stuff or large dogs. Towing is substantially more the Dodge Journey's forte than it is the Honda CR-V's.

Convenience
You'll most certainly take the CR-V for a fill-up almost as often as the Dodge Journey.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Honda offers a bit more head room than the Dodge Journey, there honestly isn't much of a difference. The Honda CR-V 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 than the Honda CR-V because of its larger tank. The Honda CR-V and the Journey compete for the same parking spaces. The Honda CR-V's shorter wheelbase may produce a less-settled highway ride but a more maneuverable feel in daily traffic than the Dodge Journey.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs about the same to get the Dodge Journey to the dealership as the CR-V. The Dodge Journey consumes a lot of gas compared to the Honda CR-V. The Honda will save you money at the pump compared to the Dodge Journey. The Dodge Journey isn't much more expensive than the Honda CR-V with respect to MSRP. The Honda will save you a bundle at the pump every year compared to the Dodge.

Warranty
The Dodge Journey and the Honda CR-V have the same basic warranty.
