The 2019 Dodge Journey has dropped entirely off our charts thanks to outdated style, safety, and technology.
Pros Low price Seven-seat capability Good optional infotainment Versatile interior
Cons Bad safety scores Limited features Dated feel Underwhelming in almost every way
Dodge does little to make the Journey more competitive for 2019. However, the company has dropped the SXT trim and pared down the lineup to three models: SE, Crossroad, and GT. The change means more standard features and options on the entry-level Journey SE, which can now be had with the V-6 powertrain. Likewise, its front and rear ends have sportier styling as well as new fog lamps and LED taillights. All models are now available with Destroyer Gray exterior paint, among the other color choices.
Pros Competitive pricing, easy-to-use infotainment, lots of storage space.
Cons Cut-rate interior, poor handling, lacks driver-assist tech.
The 2019 Dodge Journey ranked #21 in Midsize SUVs. Currently the Dodge Journey has a score of 6.9 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 52 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.
Pros Intuitive infotainment system Affordable price
Cons Leisurely acceleration with base engine Ponderous handling Few available safety features
The 2019 Chevrolet Trax makes a compelling used car alternative, but rivals do many things better.
Pros Reasonable base price Roomier inside than it looks Optional AWD New car smell
Cons Lackluster to drive Short on safety gear Base LS model is truly plain Anonymous styling Expensive when loaded up
The 2019 Chevy Trax is available in three trim levels: LS, LT and Premier. The base LS trim has enough standard equipment not to feel stripped down, but the LT adds more practical features and has access to several option packages. The Premier trim not only gets interior upgrades, but it also has added active safety features.
Pros Offers appealing passenger space for its size Plenty of features for the price
Cons Fuel economy falls short for the class Less cargo space than some rivals Slow acceleration from the underpowered engine Ride quality is choppy on the freeway
The 2019 Chevrolet Trax ranked #13 in Subcompact SUVs. Currently the Chevrolet Trax has a score of 7.2 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 45 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.
Pros User-friendly infotainment system Spacious, comfortable seats
Cons Limited engine power Jostling ride Subpar fuel economy ratings Many rivals have more cargo space
