The 2016 Dodge Journey – A Huge Interior, Without a Huge Fuel Appetite

It’s one of the hardest trade-offs in auto buying: Big, or fuel efficient?

It seems like no matter how you fall on the answer, it’s because you have no choice. Either you have to settle for something small at the expense of fuel efficiency, or you have to forgo efficiency in order to fit all of your stuff. This has undoubtedly left many car buyers between a rock and a hard place, wishing there was some fuel-efficient car with enough room to get you and all your stuff from Point A to Point B.

Now, thanks to the 2016 Dodge Journey , that wish has been granted.

It’s Huge Hockey bags? No biggie. Skis? Sure, throw in a couple pairs. A kayak? Toss it in. With the 2016 Journey’s 67 cubic feet of interior space, you’ll be able to pack just about anything without having to sit on someone’s lap.

Featuring second-row in-floor storage and available “Flip ‘n Stow” front passenger in-seat storage, the 2016 Journey can hold all your gear without bumping anyone out of its seven passenger seats. And with an in-floor bin that can double as a cooler, everyone can ride in total comfort no matter how much cargo.

It’s Comfortable Dodge spares no expense on comfort either, with available soft-touch leather trim seating, a six-way power driver seat with four-way power lumbar adjustment, and separate reclining back seats for your guests. For the growing family, the back seats also offer built-in, foldable booster seats to keep even the smallest traveller comfortable and part of the great driving experience.

Every 2016 Journey comes standard with Dual-Zone Manual Temperature Control to keep every driver and co-pilot in the lap of luxury while driving. For those a bit more finicky, look into the available heated front seats, heated steering wheel, and Three-Zone Automatic Temperature Control to keep everyone comfortable in both the coldest hottest conditions.

It’s Stylish As nice as the 2016 Journey is on the inside, it’s the outside that will turn the most heads.

Boasting a bold profile, sleek LED headlamps with black bezel, a crosshair grille and available dual exhaust tips, the 2016 Journey keeps the driver looking stylish while delivering excellent performance. And for those you leave in the dust, the image of your available Ring of Fire LED taillamps pulling away in style will not easily be forgotten.

Eight available 17- and 19- inch wheels and eight different paint options bring total customization while standard automatic heated mirrors and an available 8×4 roof rack allow the 2016 Journey to maintain its boldly utilitarian design.

It’s Powerful and Efficient Don’t let the luxury and unparalleled comfort fool you – this is one serious road-tripping machine.

All 2016 Journeys feature a standard 2.4L 16-valve our-cylinder engine capable of pumping out 173 horsepower and 166 lb-ft of torque using its Variable Valve Timing and an automatic transmission. These work together to give the Journey an estimated 26 miles per gallon, equating to about 500 miles on a single tank of gas – relatively unheard of for a crossover.

Or, for those looking to seriously up their driving power, the 2016 Journey also features an available 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine of award-winning caliber, capable of 283 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Boasting a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, this engine gives the Journey amazing performance on the road and maintains exceptional efficiency at an estimated 25 miles per gallon.

The available Pentastar engine is also equipped with an exceptionally low first gear, meant to improve acceleration from a stopped position, while the Dual Variable Valve Timing maximizes power and efficiency through the use of computer-aided engineering on the intake and exhaust system.

And who can pass up a crossover that can tow up to 2,500 lbs – big enough for a boat or your heaviest couches?

It’s Safe Available All-Wheel Drive gives the Journey exceptional traction on icy and slippery surfaces by transferring power from wheels without traction to those with traction automatically, and only powers the front wheels until the rear wheels are needed.

Electronic Stability Control, working together with the Antilock Brake System and All-Speed Traction Control prevent slides and burnouts on less-than-ideal road conditions, while Electronic Roll Mitigation prevents rollovers by strategically activating individual braking and reducing engine power to help prevent wheel lift – all to keep you and your passengers safe in almost any emergency situation.

Fully independent suspension, featuring McPherson struts in front and multilink suspension in the rear allow for each wheel to move independently over rough and rocky Surfaces. For even greater riding comfort, the 2016 Journey offers available Touring Suspension or, for the ultimate smooth ride, High-Performance Suspension.

A protected frame, seven advanced airbags, active front seat head restraints, a knee blocker and an advanced crumple zone all make the 2016 Journey exceptionally safe in the event of a crash. And, available rear backup camera and a Rear Park-Assist system make parking and backing up in this crossover a breeze.

The 2016 Journey’s standard four-wheel disc antilock brakes individually monitor and apply brakes to each wheel for ultimate braking performance, while Electronic Brake Force Distribution automatically regulate brake pressure front-to-rear and available Brake Assist boosts brake power in the event of an emergency stop.

It’s High-Tech What good would all the power and luxury in the world be if it came without the comforts of the 21st century?

Fortunately, the 2016 Journey is fully outfitted with the latest and greatest tech to make driving not only comfortable but really, really fun.

First, there’s the keyless entry and keyless ignition that can automatically detect your key fob approaching and unlock the door as soon as you pull the handle, and with the single push of a button you’re off and on your way.

Need to look up the weather at your destination, find the next movie showtime, locate a gas station, or check upcoming traffic? You can do it all on the available Radio 8.4 NAV with 8.4-inch touchscreen – the largest in its class. And with an available built-in Garmin navigation system, you’ll never get lost again.

Crank that available SiriusXM Satellite Radio through the Journey’s six surround speakers or, if you want to really bring the party, through the available 368-watt amplifier. And for the serious audiophile, available six-channel Digital Signal Processing can really breathe a whole new life into even your most classic road tunes. Plus, there’s also the standard USB and auxiliary ports and available Bluetooth-connectivity so you can bring your own playlists on the road wherever you go.

Need to entertain those in the back seats? Try the available second-row 9-inch screen that flips down from the overhead console for all their movie and video-game needs. And with a remote control and wireless headphones, the fun stays in the back seat.

Plus, for the busy professional, an available 115-watt power outlet, and WiFi hotspot capability mean you’ll never be disconnected, no matter how far away you take your 2016 Journey.

Starting at only $20,695 MSRP, the 2016 Dodge Journey is the perfect blend of power, luxury, and affordability. Or, if you really want to spice up your new Journey with some serious attitude, opt for the special edition Blacktop package, featuring 19-inch Gloss Black aluminum wheels, Gloss Black bezels and grille, Gloss Black lower front fascia accents, Gloss Black exterior mirrors and Black side roof rails for that stealthy, sleek look.

If you have been looking for that special combination of roomy and efficient that other crossovers and SUVs haven’t been able to match, then head on over to your local Dodge dealer and take a closer look at the 2016 Dodge Journey for yourself. Be warned, however: you may just find that you need one.

U.S. News Rating

The 2016 Dodge Journey seems more affordable than most midsize SUVs, but a thirsty engine and a shaky expected reliability score cancel out much of its savings. Further dampening its appeal (and its standing in our rankings) are low safety ratings, an underpowered base engine, and a small cargo area.

2016 Dodge Journey Overview

Is the 2016 dodge journey a good used suv.

Unless you need the absolute cheapest 3-row vehicle you can find, you should look elsewhere. The 2016 Journey is laden with black marks, like a low safety rating, an anemic base engine, and lower-than-average reliability – though a few interior perks attempt to offset these issues.

Why You Can Trust Us

Our Dodge Journey review includes far more than just one person's opinion. We collected professional evaluations from more than 40 sources and combined them with concrete data like fuel economy estimates, safety features, and performance specs to help you make an informed buying decision.

At U.S. News & World Report, we rank the Best Jobs , Best Hospitals , and Best Colleges to guide readers through some of life’s most complicated decisions. We've been ranking and reviewing the Best Cars since 2007, backed by a team with more than 75 years of combined automotive experience. To keep favoritism out of the picture, we maintain a separate advertising team and decline expensive gifts and trips from car companies.

How Much is a 2016 Dodge Journey?

The Journey’s purchase price is its primary strength. Its average price tag of $17,900 is several thousand dollars less than most other used midsize SUVs. Overall, prices range from $14,000 to $22,000 (based on 2,200 listings for the 2016 Journey on our site). The exact price you’ll pay depends on the vehicle's mileage, condition, and trim level.

How Much Does the 2016 Dodge Journey Cost to Own?

The 2016 Journey's five-year costs for gas, repairs, maintenance, and insurance are $24,300. That’s similar to what you'll spend if you own a Hyundai Santa Fe , Kia Sorento , or Ford Flex .

Is It Better to Buy a Used or New Journey?

If you're set on buying a Journey, it's best to buy used. None of the faults that affect the 2016 Journey have been rectified for the 2018 model year. The new Journey still bears a history of subpar safety and reliability scores, uninspiring engines, and little cargo space. In fact, the only advantages of buying a 2018 Journey are its new car warranty and its standard third-row seats (only an option in the 2016 model). The fact that the MSRP for a base 2018 Journey ($22,495) is $4,600 more than the starting price of a 2016 Journey further solidifies the used model as the better buy.

Read about the new Dodge Journey »

You'll be hard-pressed to find a new SUV with more than five seats that costs less than a used Journey. That's because the Journey's price tag is one of the lowest among 3-row SUVs. One option is to step down to a smaller crossover SUV. These cost an extra $1,700 or so, but with the help of a cash back bonus or another new car deal , you might be able to get close to the 2016 Journey's average price. For example, the 2018 Honda HR-V , one of the least expensive 2-row SUVs you can buy new, will run you around $19,670 (before incentives).

How Reliable Is the 2016 Dodge Journey?

Reliability is one of the 2016 Journey’s red flags. J.D. Power gave it a score of 2.5 out of five. That’s a below-average score for the industry, and one of the worst ratings in its class.

2016 Dodge Journey Recalls

At the time of this writing, three recalls have been issued on the 2016 Journey. The largest recall addresses a problem with an engine sensor that may work intermittently, causing the engine to stall. Additional recalls relate to the transmission pump and a power steering hose. Not all of these recalls affect every 2016 Journey, but a quick VIN search can reveal which ones are relevant to the vehicle you are considering. Make sure that any applicable recalls are addressed before you buy.

Which Model Year of the Dodge Journey Is Best?

Dodge first launched the Journey for the 2009 model year, and the 2018 Journey is included in the same generation. The crossover underwent a major refresh for 2011, but little has been altered in recent years (beyond minor tweaks to the cosmetics and trim levels). Scores are also similar throughout the generation, though the 2014 model scored higher in reliability than any other Journey thus far. For this reason – and its considerably lower price – the 2014 Journey stands out as the best model year to buy.

Compare the 2014, 2015, and 2016 Journey »

Which Used Dodge Journey Is Right for Me?

The Dodge Journey offers a range of options for shoppers. There are five trims to pick from: SE, SXT, Crossroad, Crossroad Plus, and R/T. You can also choose between seating for five or seven, two different engines, and front- or all-wheel drive. You'll find one of the best values with the Dodge Journey SXT. It comes standard with third-row seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and aluminum wheels, and it's available with the V6 engine and AWD.

See 2016 Dodge Journey trims and specs »

2016 Dodge Journey Safety

Score: 8.4/10.

The 2016 Journey's safety rating is below average for the class. It earned the lowest rating, Poor, in the small overlap front crash test (which mimics the corner of your car hitting an object) administered by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The IIHS gave the Journey a Good rating for all other tests, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave it four out of five stars overall, which is also below average for the class.

Additionally, the Journey doesn't come standard with any advanced safety features. A rearview camera is available, though many rivals offer one as standard. Some used Journeys may also come with rear parking sensors. In comparison, many competitors are available with advanced safety features that the Journey lacks completely, such as lane departure alert and automatic pre-collision braking.

2016 Dodge Journey Versus the Competition

Unless price is your sole consideration, other vehicles will serve you better in the long run. For example, compact SUV rivals like the Nissan Rogue and Ford Escape may technically be a class below the Journey, but they offer similar features for the money and are almost as spacious. Midsize rivals like the Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe cost more, but they are larger and offer better performance.

Which Is Better: 2016 Dodge Journey or 2016 Dodge Durango?

It would be appropriate to label the Journey a Dodge Durango Lite. Both are categorized as midsize SUVs, with the Durango boasting a standard third-row seat, better crash test scores, and more powerful engines. You'll pay thousands of dollars more for these gains, though.

Which Is Better: 2016 Dodge Journey or 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander?

A Mitsubishi Outlander costs about as much as a Journey, but it pulls ahead of the Dodge in one key area: safety. The IIHS named it a 2016 Top Safety Pick+ (its highest safety designation), and its available safety technology includes lane departure warning and forward collision avoidance.

Which Is Better: 2016 Dodge Journey or 2016 Nissan Rogue?

Though it's a compact SUV , the Nissan Rogue has more cargo space than the Journey. It also gets better fuel economy, has higher safety ratings, and is within spitting distance of the Journey's base price. You’ll get a more polished vehicle all-around, proving that you don't have to scrimp on refinement to save money.

Compare the Journey, Durango, and Outlander »

2016 Journey Performance

How does the 2016 dodge journey drive.

The Journey doesn't quite measure its zero-to-60-mph time with a sundial, but its four-cylinder engine delivers decidedly less power than most of its crossover rivals. It's paired with a four-speed automatic transmission (also trifling, as most competitors use at least a six-speed) that's slow from a stop. If you need to go anywhere quickly or want to take more than two people with you, the V6 engine is a worthwhile upgrade. While it's not the most impressive V6 in the class, the increase in performance is noticeable when climbing hills and passing on the highway, and your gas mileage won't be reduced by much. V6 models have a six-speed automatic.

This Dodge crossover's ride is quite nice, even over potholes and bumps. It leans heavily in corners, diminishing your confidence and comfort in higher-speed turns (on exit ramps, for instance). However, that's not unusual in these tall crossover vehicles, and the Journey's handling is still competent enough that it shouldn’t cause you undue stress.

Does the 2016 Dodge Journey Get Good Gas Mileage?

Unfortunately, the Journey's lackluster acceleration doesn't reward you with decent fuel economy: Its fuel rating of 19 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway is mediocre for a crossover this size.

2016 Dodge Journey Towing Capacity

You can't tow as much with a Journey as you can with many other midsize SUVs. Journey models equipped with a four-cylinder engine can tow up to 1,000 pounds, while V6-equipped Journeys can tow 2,500 pounds.

2016 Journey Interior

How many people does the 2016 journey seat.

The Journey's best assets are inside, where you'll find high-quality materials and flexible storage features and seating. The first two rows are comfortable for five adults, and it can accommodate two more children or smaller adults in the available third row.

How Many Car Seats Fit in the 2016 Dodge Journey?

You can clip child safety seats into upper and lower anchors on any of the three seats in the second row. However, installing a car seat in the Journey using the LATCH hardware takes more time than you’d expect. The system’s faults earn it a Marginal rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety for ease of use. Built-in booster seats are available for the second row, which is rare for the class.

2016 Dodge Journey Features

The Journey comes with a 4.3-inch touch screen, and an extra-large 8.4-inch touch screen is available in higher trims. The larger screen comes with Dodge's Uconnect infotainment system, which is one of the best setups on the market. It has an intuitive and smartphonelike layout, large text and icons, and a responsive screen. There are separate knobs for major settings like volume and temperature.

2016 Dodge Journey Dimensions

Dodge journey cargo space.

There are plenty of storage bins around the cabin and under the floor, which is especially convenient given that the Journey's cargo area is one of the smallest among similarly sized SUVs. Two-row models have 39.6 cubic feet of space behind the seats, and 3-row models have only 10.7. Folding down all the seats nets almost 68 cubic feet of space in total.

Dodge Journey Length and Weight

The Journey is a 16-foot-long SUV. It weighs between 3,818 and 4,238 pounds, depending on how it's equipped.

Where Was the 2016 Dodge Journey Built?

Dodge built the 2016 Journey at its factory in Toluca, Mexico.
