How much does the 2014 Dodge Journey cost?

Prices have softened 6.85% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

Is the 2014 Dodge Journey a good car?

Generally — 4/5 from users and 5.83/10 from our experts, the 2014 Dodge Journey makes sense if you want an affordable crossover with a useful cabin and a strong tech story. The overview points to a practical interior, a low price, and a powerful V6, while also noting that the model’s strengths are balanced by clear shortcomings. The standout strength is Technology at 8/10.

That mix fits a buyer who values space, utility, and an easy-to-use infotainment setup more than polish or all-around refinement. 26.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2014 Dodge Journey reliable?

Owners rate it 4/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

The overview and expert notes both point to a vehicle that can work well as an affordable family crossover, but they also make clear that it was not a standout for long-term ownership costs. The expert evaluation also says the Journey’s long-term reliability is expected to fall below average, and its ownership costs are projected to run higher than those of other crossover SUVs. The V6 is described as strong, and the transmission is tuned to help maximize fuel economy, but the overall package still carries more ownership risk than you’d want if you plan to keep the vehicle for many years.

What should I look for when buying a used 2014 Dodge Journey?

At 61.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle-history report and then prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with a lower asking price. Focus on overall condition, signs of prior bodywork, and whether the cabin and mechanicals match the seller’s description. If the listing has a clean history and the equipment you want, that can make a big difference in how confident you feel about the purchase.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup ranges from the budget-focused American Value Package to the more equipped SE, the best-selling SXT and SXT Plus, the more luxurious Limited, the sportier R/T, and the Crossroad. The base version is the most affordable, but the SE is the one the source points to if you want access to more equipment and popular options.
• Powertrain: A 173-hp, 2.4-liter 4-cylinder is standard in some versions, while a 283-hp 3.6-liter V6 is the upgrade to look for if you want stronger acceleration. The V6 is paired with a 6-speed automatic, while the 4-cylinder uses a 4-speed automatic.
• Safety package: The Journey includes a standard knee airbag for the driver. A reversing camera and rear parking-assist sensors are available depending on trim, but the source says Dodge offers nothing more sophisticated in safety technology.
• Infotainment: The available Uconnect 8.4 system is a major highlight, with a touchscreen interface, large graphics and icons, easy Bluetooth pairing, separate volume and tuning knobs, voice command, real-time traffic and weather, and optional Wi-Fi hotspot capability through Uconnect Web by Mopar.
• Fuel efficiency: The V6 front-wheel-drive model is rated at 17 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined. The source also says the V6 is not a fuel-efficient vehicle, especially in city driving.

Which 2014 Dodge Journey trim should I buy?

The 2014 Dodge Journey is offered in 6 trim levels: American Value Package, SE, SXT, SXT Plus, Limited, and R/T.

Here's the short version:

• American Value Package: This is the cheapest way into the Journey, so it makes sense if your priority is maximum space for minimum money and you’re willing to live with the most basic setup.
• SE: This is the trim the source points to as the better starting point because it adds more equipment and access to popular options, making it the best-value choice for most shoppers.
• SXT: This is one of the best-selling versions, and it’s a sensible middle ground if you want a broader mix of equipment without jumping to the pricier trims.
• SXT Plus: This trim builds on the SXT and is a good fit if you want a more loaded version without going all the way to the luxury-oriented models.
• Limited: Choose this if you want the more luxurious version of the Journey, especially if comfort and a richer feel matter more than price.
• R/T: This is the sportier choice in the lineup, so it fits you best if you want the most performance-oriented version the source describes.

The safety content notes that a reversing camera and rear parking-assist sensors are optional depending on trim level, so check carefully to see whether the specific vehicle you’re considering has those features.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2014 Dodge Journey?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find reasonable opportunities.

• Deal availability: 26.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 471 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.85% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 61.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $6,458, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2014 Dodge Journey's resale value?

The current average of $6,470 sits slightly below last year's $6,946.

That decline suggests the market has softened, which can help you as a buyer today but may limit how much value you recover later. The cost-effectiveness notes also point to weaker retained value over time, so you should expect resale to be more dependent on condition, mileage, and equipment than on broad market strength. If you buy well and keep the vehicle in strong shape, you’ll be in a better position than someone who overpays for a rough example.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2014 Dodge Journey safe?

The 2014 Dodge Journey earns four-star ratings from NHTSA overall and Good ratings from IIHS in all tests for which it has been assessed.

It earns a 5/10 safety score from our experts.

The safety content says the Journey includes a standard knee airbag for the driver, while a reversing camera and rear parking-assist sensors are optional depending on trim. It also notes that Dodge offers nothing more sophisticated in safety technology, and that the vehicle was not eligible for a Top Safety Pick designation because the IIHS had not yet conducted a small-overlap frontal-impact test on it at the time of the review. If safety tech matters to you, you’ll want to verify exactly which driver aids are fitted on the specific vehicle you’re considering.

Should I buy a 2014 Dodge Journey or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2014 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2014 if:

• 26.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 61.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.85% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The 2014 stands out for its practical cabin, low price, strong V6, and available Uconnect 8.4 infotainment system.

The bottom line: If you want a budget-friendly crossover with lots of space and you’re willing to be selective about condition and equipment, the 2014 is worth considering. If you’re shopping mainly on price, you may find a good deal here, but you should still compare carefully against other years and inspect any candidate closely because the model’s ownership-cost and reliability outlook is not especially strong.
