Land Rover Discovery 2016 vs Dodge Journey 2011
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 3.0 Diesel | 2.4 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Land Rover Discovery) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Dodge Journey) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||

Performance | |||
| Power: | 258 HP | 173 HP | |
| Torque: | 600 NM | 225 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 8.1 seconds | n/a seconds | |
| Land Rover Discovery engine produces 85 HP more power than Dodge Journey, whereas torque is 375 NM more than Dodge Journey. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 7.5 | 11.2 | |
|
The Land Rover Discovery is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. Land Rover Discovery consumes 3.7 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Dodge Journey, which means that by driving the Land Rover Discovery over 15,000 km in a year you can save 555 litres of fuel. | |||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 89 litres | 77 litres | |
| Full fuel tank distance: | 1180 km in combined cycle | 680 km in combined cycle | |
| 1300 km on highway | 810 km on highway | ||
| Land Rover Discovery gets more mileage on one fuel tank. | |||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | 4x4 - Full time 4WD | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
|
Land Rover Discovery has 4x4: All wheels are powered permanently, has a center differential. Full time 4WD can be used both on and off road. Transfer cases in most have two modes (low and high), which allows the use of low speed range in harsh conditions. | |||
| Ground clearance: | 220 mm (8.7 inches) | 182 mm (7.2 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Land Rover Discovery can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 420'000 km | 360'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Land Rover Discovery engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 17 years | 20 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 3 other car models, including Land Rover Range Rover, Land Rover Range Rover Sport | Installed on at least 6 other car models, including Jeep Patriot, Dodge Caliber, Dodge Avenger, Chrysler Sebring, Jeep Compass | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Dodge Journey might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | yes | no | |
| The Land Rover Discovery engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||

| Trunk capacity with 5 seats: | no data | 300 litres | |
| Trunk max capacity: with rear seats folded down, if possible |
2406 litres | 1915 litres | |
| The maximum boot capacity (with all rear seats folded down) is larger in Land Rover Discovery (by 491 litres). | |||
| Turning diameter: | 12.7 meters | 11.7 meters | |
| The turning circle of the Land Rover Discovery is 1 metres more than that of the Dodge Journey, which means Land Rover Discovery can be harder to manoeuvre in tight streets and parking spaces. | |||
| Power steering: | Electric power steering | Hydraulic power steering | |
| Electric power steering is simpler, quieter, more fuel-efficient, more configurable and provides additional features such as auto-steering for lane assist and parking. The disadvantages of electric power steering are possible overheating under prolonged load conditions and insufficient feedback (feeling) during steering. | |||
