TCC’s Bottom Line

The ancient 2020 Dodge Journey is worth skipping in favor of almost any other new crossover SUV, and many used ones.

The 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander has enough value, features, and style to make it worth considering, but not to stand out.

TCC Likes

Cheap
Room for seven
Optional infotainment system

Standard features list
Expanded active safety tech
All-wheel drive available across the range

TCC Dislikes

Poor safety record
Few features
Dated styling and materials

Cheap cabin materials
Anemic base engine
V-6 isn’t much of an upgrade
