The popular Dodge Journey is the company’s competitive entry-level crossover, with either five- or seven seats. Two engines are available: a 173-hp 2.4-litre four-cylinder and a 235-hp V6, with four-or five-speed automatic transmissions, and front- or all-wheel drive. Journey’s interior is spacious and well designed, with storage cubbies tucked away in convenient locations. Fuel efficiency isn’t a strong point, though it does handle well.

 

Pros

Cheapest seven-seater available

Cons

Not terribly refined
