TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2017 Dodge Journey is a minivan in every way except its doors. Families will be tempted by the price, but there are better, safer picks out there.

The 2017 Kia Sorento stays true to its high-value roots, but it's grown up in refinement and comfort.

Spacious cargo areas

TCC Dislikes

Very poor safety scores
