The Journey's substantial revamp in 2011 puts it right back in one of the hottest sales segments today.
While the related Mitsu Outlander doesn't quite make the cut, the latest Kia Sorento is the Journey's toughest competitor, with seven seats, a choice of four- and six-cylinder engines, and this year, better fuel economy with direct-injection technology and UVO voice controls for audio and phone.
The Toyota RAV4 has options for six cylinders and seven seats, too, though it's generally more expensive than the Journey and Sorento.
If you're able to get by with five seats, the Subaru Outback is a perennial favorite with Vermonters and anyone using an #Occupy hashtag without irony, while the Honda CR-V's lightly revamped this year, staying relatively compact and, well, slow.
One of the best new entries to come along recently is the Chevy Equinox, with its base four-cylinder delivering up to 32 mpg on the highway and its interior delivering great passenger space.

Practical without being too prim, the 2012 Dodge Journey cuts an interesting figure and spans the gulf between compact crossovers and family-grade SUVs. |
A versatile layout, impressive performance, good ride comfort, and reasonable pricing all add up to make the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox a strong value—and a good pick for small families. |
The 2012 Honda CR-V is a great family vehicle, with a thoughtfully designed and comfortable interior, and improved refinement, but it lacks the confident, sprightly feel present in past CR-Vs. |
With the right size, the right gas-mileage numbers, and the right standard features, the 2012 Kia Sorento is an easy recommendation in the crossover class. |
Like any all-around athlete, the 2012 Subaru Outback blends capable performance and rewarding handling, surprising interior volume and great versatility, with versatility and enough high-end options to keep most buyers quite happy. |
The unlikely Toyota-Tesla partnership has produced what may just be the best battery-electric vehicle below Tesla's own Model S luxury sedan. Its power, 100 miles of real-world range, and interior space add up to a very appealing electric crossover. |
