2011 Dodge Journey vs. Its Competition

2011 Dodge Journey
Bengt Halvorson Bengt Halvorson Senior Editor

While competitors like the Mitsu Endeavor have fallen into obscurity, the Journey's been met with a few very capable new competitors.

The Subaru Outback is one, but the vehicle with the Journey right in its Dodge crosshairs is the Georgia-built 2011 Kia Sorento.

The new Chevy Equinox and Kia Sorento are compelling choices, with four- and six-cylinder engines and plenty of spread-out room.

The Hyundai Santa Fe ranks with them, as does the bigger Toyota RAV4, while the Honda CR-V doesn't have a third row and sticks with meager four-cylinder power but has good interior room and a durable reputation.
