Used 2014 Dodge Journey for SaleNationwide

How much does the 2014 Dodge Journey cost?

Prices have softened 5.07% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 462 listings available, which gives you a modest amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2014 Dodge Journey a good car?

Generally — the 2014 Dodge Journey earns a 4/5 user rating and a 5.83/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Technology at 8/10.

That lines up with the Journey’s appeal as an affordable crossover with a useful cabin, lots of storage, and the available Uconnect 8.4 touchscreen system. The tradeoff is that the overall impression is mixed, with strong value and practicality offset by clear shortcomings in other areas.

24.0% of listings are marked as good or great deals, so you can still find some attractive pricing if you shop carefully.

Is the 2014 Dodge Journey reliable?

Owners rate it 4/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

The Journey’s practical design and useful cabin help its day-to-day appeal, but the expert review also points to weaker long-term ownership economics. Its powertrain is described as refined and strong, though the transmission behavior and brake feel are less polished than you’d want in a family crossover.

The cost-of-ownership commentary also suggests that long-term reliability is expected to fall below average, so used buyers should pay close attention to maintenance history and overall condition before committing.

What should I look for when buying a used 2014 Dodge Journey?

At 58.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should run a vehicle history report before you buy and prioritize any signs of prior collision repair, especially on body panels, alignment, and safety equipment. A pre-purchase inspection is worth it here, since the Journey’s value proposition depends heavily on finding one that has been maintained well and hasn’t been compromised by past damage. Focus on overall condition, because the market includes enough mixed-history examples that a clean, well-kept one is the safer bet.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base American Value Package is the least-expensive version, while the SE adds more equipment and popular options. The SXT and SXT Plus are the best-selling trims, the Limited is the more luxurious choice, the R/T is the sportier version, and Crossroad is also part of the lineup. The base trim’s feature set is the one most likely to leave you wanting more.
• Powertrain: A 173-hp, 2.4-liter 4-cylinder is standard in some Journey models, while a 283-hp, 3.6-liter V6 is strongly recommended. The V6 is paired with a 6-speed automatic, and it returns fuel-economy numbers nearly as good as the smaller engine.
• Safety package: The Journey includes a standard knee airbag for the driver. A reversing camera and rear parking-assist sensors are available depending on trim level, but the safety tech is otherwise limited.
• Infotainment: The available Uconnect 8.4 system uses a touchscreen with easy Bluetooth pairing, large graphics and icons, big virtual buttons, voice command, real-time traffic and weather, and gas-station routing based on fuel prices. Uconnect Web by Mopar can add a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, and a rear-seat entertainment system is also available.
• Fuel efficiency: The V6 front-wheel-drive model is rated at 17 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined.

Which 2014 Dodge Journey trim should I buy?

The 2014 Dodge Journey is offered in 6 trim levels: American Value Package, SE, SXT, SXT Plus, Limited, and R/T.

Here's the short version:

• American Value Package: This is the cheapest way into the Journey, and it makes sense if your priority is maximum room for minimum money. You give up equipment, so it’s best only if price matters more than features.
• SE: This is the trim most buyers should start with, because it adds more equipment and access to popular options without jumping too far up the price ladder. It’s the best-value trim if you want a more usable daily driver.
• SXT: This is one of the best-selling versions and a smart middle ground if you want a broader mix of equipment and available options. It’s a good fit if you want more content without going all the way to the pricier trims.
• SXT Plus: This is the trim to consider if you want a more loaded Journey and are willing to pay for it. It’s also the version used in the expert review, which suggests it can be a strong choice for shoppers who want a well-equipped example.
• Limited: Choose this if you want the more luxurious version of the Journey. It’s the right pick if comfort and upscale feel matter more than value.
• R/T: This is the sportier trim, so it makes sense if you want the most performance-oriented version in the lineup.

The safety content notes that a reversing camera and rear parking-assist sensors are optional depending on trim level, so it’s worth checking whether the example you’re considering has those features.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2014 Dodge Journey?

The market looks moderate and selective buyers should have some leverage.

• Deal availability: 24.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 462 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.07% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 58.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $6,455, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2014 Dodge Journey's resale value?

The current average of $6,559 sits slightly below last year's $6,909.

That price movement suggests the Journey has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right number. The current market also shows a relatively low average price compared with the prior year, so there may be less room for dramatic further drops than there was before.

For you as a future seller, the main risk is that the Journey is not expected to retain value especially well over time. That means condition, mileage, and trim choice will matter a lot when it comes time to resell.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2014 Dodge Journey safe?

The 2014 Dodge Journey earns a four-star overall rating from NHTSA, and the IIHS gives it the top rating of Good in all tests for which it has been assessed.

It earns a 5/10 safety score from our experts.

The safety equipment is fairly basic by modern standards, with a standard knee airbag for the driver and limited available driver-assistance tech. A reversing camera and rear parking-assist sensors are available depending on trim level, but Dodge doesn’t offer much more sophisticated safety technology here.

The review also notes that the Journey had not been tested in the IIHS small-overlap frontal-impact test at the time, so it was ineligible for a Top Safety Pick designation.

Should I buy a 2014 Dodge Journey or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2014 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2014 if:

• 24.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 58.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.07% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The expert summary highlights the Journey’s low pricetag, practical interior, powerful V6 engine, good crash-test ratings, and especially the available Uconnect 8.4 touchscreen system.

The bottom line: If you want the most affordable path into a roomy crossover with useful tech, the 2014 is the one to target. If you’re especially price-sensitive, focus on the cleanest, best-maintained example you can find rather than chasing the cheapest listing, because condition and history matter a lot with this model.
