How much does the Dodge Journey cost in today's market?

Used Dodge Journey prices span a wide range depending on model year. Here's what the market looks like right now:

The Dodge Journey's current nationwide average price is $9,293, and its year-round low is $9,283.04. That puts you in a fairly broad price band depending on the year and condition you choose. Recently, prices have come down for the 2018, 2019, and 2020 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.

Is the Dodge Journey a good car?

Yes — the Dodge Journey appeals to shoppers who want a roomy, family-friendly crossover with comfortable seating and a versatile three-row layout. Owners also repeatedly praise its smooth driving feel and practical cabin space, and the 2014 expert review highlights its strong value, useful interior storage, and appealing tech story.

The all-generations owner rating is 4.23/5 across every model year in the data.

Expert reviews rate the 2014 model among the highest across all years.

The main trade-offs called out in expert reviews are fuel economy, long-term ownership costs, and reliability expectations, along with some dated-feeling engineering details in the powertrain and braking feel.

26.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are Dodge Journey models reliable?

Owners consistently praise the Journey for its spacious cabin, comfortable ride, and family-friendly layout, and the expert review for the 2014 model reinforces that it delivers a practical, refined interior with strong everyday usability. Across the model years in the data, that combination of comfort and utility is a recurring strength.

• Owners rate the Dodge Journey between 3.6 and 4.7 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

For used buyers, the biggest long-term ownership risk is the possibility of higher repair and upkeep costs over time, so a careful pre-purchase inspection and service-history review are especially worthwhile.

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

• Fuel efficiency: 17 mpg in the city, 25 mpg on the highway and 19 mpg combined

Which Dodge Journey trim should I buy?

The 2014 Dodge Journey offers...

• American Value Package: This is the least-expensive version and is the best-value choice if you want maximum room for a minimal amount of money.
• SE: This trim adds more equipment and popular options, making it a smart step up if you want a better-equipped entry point.
• SXT: This is one of the best-selling versions and is a strong pick if you want a well-rounded mix of equipment and value.
• SXT Plus: This trim builds on the SXT with more equipment, and it was the test vehicle in the expert review.
• Crossroad: This trim adds a sportier look, and it can be paired with the optional V6 and all-wheel drive.
• Limited: This is the more luxurious choice, with the V6 standard.
• R/T: This is the sportier trim, with the V6 standard.

What Dodge Journey do most buyers choose?

The Dodge Journey years with the most listings are 2018, 2019, and 2017.

These higher-volume years tend to be the easiest places to shop because you get more listings to compare and a better chance of finding the right price, mileage, and condition combination. They also tend to be the years most shoppers cross-shop first when looking for a used Journey.

What is the Dodge Journey's resale value?

The table shows broad downward movement across the model years, which can work in your favor if you're shopping used. The largest drops are concentrated in the newer years, while the older years show smaller changes. The 2014, 2017, and 2015 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Dodge Journey now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2019 model is at −13.85% versus a year ago, and the 2018 model is at −9.17%.
• Deal availability: The 2019 model has 27.3% good and great deals, and the 2018 model has 27%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2018 model has the most listings at a current average price of $9,797. The Dodge Journey offers a roomy, practical cabin that makes it easy to live with for family duty and everyday use.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: My test vehicle had a 283-hp 3.6-liter V6 engine, an upgrade I strongly recommend, because the 173-hp, 2.4-liter 4-cylinder that's standard in some Journey models is significantly short of power. Additionally, the 4-cylinder engine is equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission while the V6 has a 6-speed automatic, allowing the more powerful engine to return fuel-economy numbers nearly as good as those of the smaller, weaker engine.
• Tech: Uconnect 8.4 addresses all of these issues, thanks to its simple and intuitive layout, easy Bluetooth pairing, large graphics and icons, and big virtual buttons.
• Safety: Aside from the safety equipment that all new vehicles must include to meet government mandates, the 2014 Journey features a standard knee airbag for the driver.
• Starting price: Dodge sells the 2014 Journey in 6 trim levels ranging in price from $20,490 to $29,990.

If you're buying used today, the 2018 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for 2021 inventory to mature.
