Dodge Journey vs Dodge Durango: Performance

Both the 2018 Journey and 2018 Durango can be equipped with 3.6L V6 engines, capable of providing smooth and powerful performance. The base engine on the Journey is a 2.4L 4-cylinder engine, which produces 173 horsepower. It's the 283-horsepower 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine that truly stands out. It accelerates well and provides an extra bit of pep, more so than the base engine.

The Durango carries three different engine choices, including the base 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine which produces 295 horsepower. The other two available engines are a 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine and 6.4L HEMI® V8 engine. The latter engine can produce up to 475 horsepower for a truly powerful experience in this midsize SUV. It's available in the all-new-for-2018 SRT high-performance trim.

The base edition of the Durango does carry a larger touchscreen, which checks in at seven inches, making it easier to interact with apps.

Tri-zone automatic climate control is available, providing a comfortable feel for everyone inside the cabin. Bluetooth® technology is standard in each vehicle.
