The 2019 Dodge Journey has dropped entirely off our charts thanks to outdated style, safety, and technology.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 2020 Hyundai Venue is a subcompact crossover with big ideas.
Pros Spunky looks Flexible cargo space Hatchback practicality 8.0-inch touchscreen Automatic emergency braking is standard
Cons Is it too small? That grille, though Wild colors Stretching the definition of a crossover
The Hyundai Venue will be the Korean automaker's newest and smallest crossover when it goes on sale for the 2020 model year. The tiny ute will slot below the already subcompact Hyundai Kona. We expect the 2020 Hyundai Venue to be in dealerships before the end of 2019. The Venue will have few direct competitors—namely the Ford EcoSport and the Nissan Kicks. We expect the pint-sized Hyundai to have an equally diminutive stature. An 8.0-inch infotainment system will offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability as well as streaming audio and voice-controlled search functionality. Navigation with real-time traffic updates will be optional.
