2015 Dodge Journey vs. 2015 Kia Sorento

Freehold Dodge's new inventory is filled with all new 2015 Dodge models, including the stylish crossover, the Dodge Journey. The Journey is quickly becoming one of the most popular midsize crossovers in the market, and residents of Freehold, Farmingdale and Monroe Township can find it at Freehold Dodge. And to make your shopping process easier for you, we've compared the 2015 Dodge Journey with one if its competitors, the 2015 Kia Sorento. 

 

Exterior

The 2015 Sorento and Journey both have similar crossover shapes: streamlined, aerodynamic and a solid amount of ground clearance. However, the Journey is about eight inches longer than the Sorento for more cargo room. The Journey is also two inches thinner and has a much greater wheel base, which works to evenly distribute weight from the vehicle resulting in a smoother ride, more control and less chances of spinouts.

Performance

All Dodge models are applauded for their power, and the 2015 Journey is no exception. Situated with an available 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine, the Journey can reach an impeccable 283 horsepower, which ranks among the top for midsize crossovers, while the 2015 Sorento caps out at about 191 horsepower.

The power in the 2015 Journey does not compromise its fuel efficiency. While the Journey and the 2015 Sorento both receive an estimated 27 mpg on the highway, the Journey has a much larger fuel tank that can hold 20.5 gallons of gas, compared to the Sorento's tank, which can only hold 17.4 gallons. This means that drivers in the 2015 Journey are stopping at gas stations less and spending less money on gas.

Interior

Inside the 2015 Dodge Journey, drivers will find more head and legroom in the cabin than in the 2015 Kia Sorento. The Sorento features an UVO infotainment system that works with voice recognition, music and maps. This has grown to be standard in 2015 models of any class, and instead of conforming, the Dodge Journey took the standard one step further with its Uconnect system. The Uconnect system in the 2015 Journey handles everything that the UVO system does, except Uconnect turns your Journey into a Wi-Fi hotspot, allowing you to work and communicate more efficiently than any other vehicle in its class.

 

Safety

The 2015 Journey has the edge over the 2015 Sorento in the safety department because of the Journey's advanced braking system. Dodge knows that your Journey is a family-oriented vehicle, so keeping your passengers safe has to be a priority. Along with four wheel standard anti-lock brakes, the 2015 Journey features Electronic Brake Force Distribution which evenly distributes brake pressure throughout your wheels to optimize stopping. The 2015 Journey also features Brake Assist, which will help you apply brake pressure when it senses a panicked stop.

Summary

While both models rank high in the midsize crossover class, the 2015 Journey has a lower starting price and a better value than the 2015 Sorento. You'll experience more comfort, convenience and versatility with the Journey, making it the perfect vehicle for any occasion.
