Nissan Murano vs. Dodge Journey Review

Utility
Drivers with frequent child-duty might favor the Dodge Journey over the Nissan Murano. The Dodge Journey is likely a better choice than the Murano with respect to transporting cargo, especially if you often need to carry a lot of suitcases or massive pets. Towing is substantially more the Nissan Murano's forte than it is the Dodge's.

Dimensions
The Dodge Journey's tank is about the same size as the Nissan Murano's, though the Nissan Murano's is a tad bigger. The Nissan Murano and the Dodge Journey compete for the same parking spaces.

Convenience
You'll most certainly take the Dodge Journey for a fill-up approximately as often as the Nissan Murano.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. The Dodge Journey is significantly cheaper to get to the dealership than the Nissan Murano. The Dodge Journey requires a lot of gas compared to the Murano. The Nissan Murano will save you money at the pump compared to the Dodge Journey. The Dodge Journey is substantially less expensive than the Nissan Murano with respect to MSRP.

Handling
With their similar turning radii, the Nissan Murano and the Dodge Journey definitely handle almost the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Nissan Murano has a more massive engine than the Dodge Journey. Remember that smaller engines are often cheaper to fix, but a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder. Torque equals pickup, and the Nissan Murano will have picked up and gone by the time the Dodge Journey finally gets moving. The Dodge Journey could learn a lesson or two from the Nissan when it comes to torque.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Dodge Journey offers a bit more head room than the Murano, there frankly isn't much of a difference. The Nissan offers more head- and leg-room to your passengers than the Journey does.

Overview
The Dodge Journey and the Nissan Murano have the same basic warranty.
