This is a fair question, as it seems like the number of viable, heavy-hitting SUV options from Dodge and sister company Jeep are never-ending.

Powerhouse models like the Durango and Journey are packed with features that show Dodge’s pride in luxury and performance at unmatched prices.

In what has become a watered down genre, Dodge SUV models bring back the true purpose of the vehicle with options for every taste and function.

3 Family Cars Everyone's Going to Love

Don't run out and buy your next family car until you've had a chance to test drive one or more of the following vehicles.

Journey

The 2018 Dodge Journey is a compact SUV packed with features fit for full-size. 2.4L FWD or 3.6L Pentastar AWD models give you room to let your feet breathe if you need to pass on the highway, without sacrificing on range or MPG.

Luxurious interior trim packages and state-of-the-art safety and security features make this very affordable SUV an excellent choice for anyone from a growing family to a young professional.

Durango

The Durango is well-known by all for being a powerhouse Dodge SUV model, and the 2018 trim packages don’t disappoint. Available under $30,000, the Durango is still an affordable investment and comes with all of the benefits of a full-size SUV.

Standard 3.6L Pentastar V6 tows up to 6,200lb, and optional packages feature everything from heated and ventilated Nappa-Leather Trimmed Seats to intuitive Uconnect 8.4 Nav and Touchscreen. Spring for the R/T package, packed with the legendary 5.7L Hemi, for maximum towing capacity and power!

Jeep Grand Cherokee

Under the same umbrella as Dodge is Jeep, so it’s no wonder these two brands have so much in common – durability, power, inimitable style, and affordable prices (starting at $17,995) – to name a few.

Their robust 2018 lineup is more than impressive and features options for everyone. The All-New Wrangler is an advanced entry to this storied make, and other staple models like the Cherokee and Grand Cherokee continue to improve year after year.

Luxurious optional features in models like the Grand Cherokee show that these rugged vehicles can also showcase the best of the best in interior trim packages.

Newer, yet proven, models like the Compass and Renegade round out the lineup to suit anyone’s SUV needs.
