About the Dodge Durango
Dodge is proud of its muscle car heritage and tries to add a bit of muscle car to everything they make. Sometimes they add a lot of muscle car, and the Durango is an excellent example of a lot of muscle car. While it is also a highly practical three-row SUV, one look at the Durango and you can tell it’s built to be something different. The Durango is offered with three distinct engine choices, up to the hugely powerful supercharged Hellcat engine that churns out 710 horsepower. That’s right, this SUV with three rows of seats and lots of space for groceries can also hit 60 MPH from a dead stop in just 3.5 seconds. This no-compromise approach means you don’t have to choose between the excitement of a muscle car and the practicality of a three-row SUV.
What the Critics Say
What’s New for 2025
Aside from some shuffling of the trim levels, the Dodge Durango is back for 2025 essentially unchanged from last year. There’s plenty of speculation that this could possibly be the final year of production for the current iteration of the Durango, making this potentially one of your last changes to experience this thrilling SUV.
Dodge Durango Features
Muscle Car Performance
Today, even large three-row SUVs will often come with a four-cylinder engine as the standard powerplant. But that wouldn’t be very muscle car, so the Dodge Durango comes standard with a 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 that produces 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. That’s a bit more pep than you’ll get from standard engines in competing SUVs but the optional powertrains give you even more. Move up to the 5.7-liter V8 and you’ll get 360 horsepower, 390 lb-ft of torque, and that ever-important muscle car feature, the sound of a V8 growl. At the top of the performance ladder is the Hellcat, a 710-horsepower version of the Durango that goes beyond the brand’s embracement of muscle cars and turns the Durango into a serious performance machine. In addition to the 6.2-liter Supercharged V8, you get six-piston high-performance Brembo brakes and a Bilstein® Active-Damping High-Performance Suspension. Stopping and handling might not be characteristics that muscle cars are known for, but they’re still critical for high-speed driving.
Incredible Practicality
If you were just looking for a muscle car, you would buy a Charger. The appeal of the Dodge Durango is that it offers muscle car performance alongside a huge helping of actual practicality. The base trim of the Durango comes with seating for seven and a massive 43.3 cubic feet of cargo space in the back. The second- and third-row seats can all be folded down for a maximum of 85.1 cubic feet of space which is enormous. Thanks to the power liftgate, it’s also easy to access this cargo area and the seriously impressive 8,700-pound towing capacity means that you can take quite a lot with you wherever you go. All-wheel drive is either standard or available on every trim and there are brake options that can quickly reign in even the most powerful of Durango variants. Since a family vehicle isn’t really practical unless it’s also safe, Dodge includes numerous safety features as standard features like Electronic Stability Control, Electronic Roll Mitigation, rain-sensing wipers, and Blind Spot Monitoring.
Copious Creature Comforts
The whole idea of the Dodge Durango is that it’s a muscle car that’s easy to live with every day. A spacious and comfortable interior features prominently in the appeal of the big SUV. The standard infotainment system is a 10.1-inch screen with Uconnect® 5 which adds wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ capability. The standard stereo is made by Alpine®, making the Durango one of a small number of mainstream vehicles with a name-brand stereo as standard equipment. The standard version features 6 speakers but a version with 9 is available as well. Just like horsepower, Dodge gives you the option for a huge number of speakers as well with an available 19-speaker Harman Kardon® system. Nappa leather, heated and ventilated seats, and a heated steering wheel are all available while heated seats come standard inside the Dodge Durango.
