Used 2014 Dodge Journey for SaleNationwide

How much does the 2014 Dodge Journey cost?

Prices have softened 6.04% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 466 listings available, which gives you a modest pool to compare before you buy.

Is the 2014 Dodge Journey a good car?

Generally — the 2014 Dodge Journey earns a 4/5 user rating and a 5.83/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Technology at 8/10.

The Journey’s appeal comes from its practical cabin, useful storage, affordable pricing, and available Uconnect 8.4 touchscreen system. It also pairs a low pricetag with a powerful V6 engine and good crash-test ratings, which makes it a sensible fit if you want an affordable crossover with a useful interior and a stronger tech story than its basic mission might suggest.

25.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so you still have room to shop selectively.

Is the 2014 Dodge Journey reliable?

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

The Journey’s own writeup points to a mixed ownership picture: it has practical strengths, but it also has enough drawbacks that it was due for a full redesign. The expert notes also say its long-term reliability is expected to fall below average, and that its quality still rates only average even after improvement in recent years.

The 3.6-liter V6 is described as strong, if thirsty, while the 6-speed automatic is tuned to maximize fuel economy but can resist downshifts and clunk into gear when shifting out of Park. For used buyers, that means you should pay close attention to drivetrain behavior, transmission smoothness, and overall maintenance history before committing.

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

At 56.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should run a vehicle history report first, then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on body repairs, drivetrain behavior, and signs of uneven wear. Because the Journey’s value proposition depends so much on condition, you’ll want to make sure any savings aren’t offset by hidden repair needs.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup ranges from the budget-focused American Value Package to the SE, SXT, SXT Plus, Limited, R/T, and Crossroad. The base version is the most stripped-down, while the higher trims add more equipment and options; the Limited is the more luxurious choice, and the R/T is the sportier one.
• Powertrain: A 173-hp 2.4-liter 4-cylinder is standard in some models, while a 283-hp 3.6-liter V6 is optional on the SXT, SXT Plus, and Crossroad and standard on the Limited and R/T. The V6 is the stronger choice, and it pairs with a 6-speed automatic instead of the 4-speed automatic used with the 4-cylinder.
• 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 there’s nothing more sophisticated in the safety tech lineup.
• Infotainment: The available Uconnect 8.4 touchscreen is a major highlight, with easy Bluetooth pairing, large graphics and icons, big virtual buttons, voice command, real-time traffic and weather, and gas-station search by fuel price. Uconnect Web by Mopar can add a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, and a rear-seat entertainment system is also available.
• Fuel efficiency: The V6 front-wheel-drive model is rated at 17 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined. The expert also notes that the V6 is not fuel-efficient, especially for 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, and it makes sense if your priority is maximum room for minimal money. It’s the most budget-oriented choice, but you give up the extra equipment and options that make the higher trims easier to live with.
• SE: This is the first trim that opens the door to more equipment and popular options, so it’s the sensible starting point if you want a better-balanced value play without jumping too far up the price ladder.
• SXT: This is one of the best-selling versions, and it’s a strong middle-ground choice if you want a more complete Journey without going all the way to the luxury or sport trims.
• SXT Plus: This is the best-value trim if you want a richer feature set, and it’s also the trim used in the expert’s test vehicle. It’s a smart pick if you want the Journey’s strengths without paying for the top-end badges.
• Limited: Choose this if you want the more luxurious version of the Journey. It’s the right fit if comfort and a more upscale feel matter more than keeping the purchase price as low as possible.
• R/T: Pick this if you want the sportier version of the Journey. It’s the trim for buyers who want the strongest performance-oriented character in the lineup.

The safety content notes that a reversing camera and rear parking-assist sensors are available depending on trim level, so it’s worth checking 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 without feeling rushed.

• Deal availability: 25.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 466 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.04% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 56.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $6,456, 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 $6,463 sits slightly below last year's $6,879.

That downward move suggests the Journey is still a value-oriented buy, but it also means future sellers may face some price pressure if the market keeps softening. If you buy one now, you should expect resale to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and equipment rather than on strong model-wide appreciation.

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 Good ratings from IIHS and a four-star overall rating from NHTSA, with four-star ratings in frontal crash and rollover, and five-star ratings in all other NHTSA tests.

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

The Journey comes with a standard knee airbag for the driver, while a reversing camera and rear parking-assist sensors are available depending on trim level. The expert review also notes that Dodge offers nothing more sophisticated in terms of safety technology, so you should not expect advanced driver-assistance features to be a major strength here.

One caveat is that the IIHS had not conducted a small-overlap frontal-impact test on the Journey at the time of the review, so it was ineligible for a Top Safety Pick designation.

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:

• 25.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 56.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.04% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• There’s plenty to like about a 2014 Dodge Journey, from its low pricetag and practical interior to its powerful V6 engine and good crash-test ratings.

The bottom line: If you want the Journey’s practical cabin, available V6 power, and strong tech story at a lower price, the 2014 is the one to target. If you’re especially price-sensitive, focus on the best-maintained examples and use the softer market to negotiate hard, since condition and equipment matter a lot more than the badge alone.
