2019 Dodge Journey vs. Dodge Durango: Price

For the first round of our comparison, we’re taking a look at the starting price of each of these Dodge models. This may be the most important comparison for many car buyers, and the two Dodge SUVs actually come at very different — but still affordable — prices. Take a look at the starting price for each model’s base trim:

• 2019 Dodge Durango: $30,195 MSRP
• 2019 Dodge Journey: $23,645 MSRP

As you can see, the Dodge Journey is far more affordable and even has an available Value Package version, which comes in at $22,995. You get a more affordable price but lose out on some features. As you’ll see later on in our comparison, while it isn’t as affordable as the Journey, the Dodge Durango makes up for its higher price with some superior standard features.

• 2019 Dodge Durango: The 2019 Durango comes equipped in its standard trim with a 3.6L V6 24-Valve VVT engine with ESS, and its EPA-estimated fuel efficiency comes in at 19/26 MPG city/highway.
• 2019 Dodge Journey: The Dodge Journey, on the other hand, comes with a 2.4L I4 DOHC 16-Valve VVT engine, and the MPG ratings end up at a comparable 19/25 MPG city/highway.

2019 Dodge Journey vs. Dodge Durango: Interior Features

Another important aspect that Capitola drivers desire in their new SUV is a comfortable and high-tech interior. Luckily, if you’re comparing these two models, both Dodge SUVs come with a full suite of great interior features, including touchscreen infotainment systems, foldable second-row seating, and six-speaker sound systems.
