About the Dodge Durango
The rich muscle car heritage of the Dodge brand takes center stage behind the wheel of the legendary Durango. This three-row SUV stands out from the crowd with bold exterior styling and plenty of potent performance options including the unmistakable rumble of a V8 engine. Additional strengths of the Durango include a cavernous cargo capacity, available third-row seating, and class-leading towing capacity ratings. Shoppers can choose from an extensive lineup of individual trim levels including the race-inspired Durango Hellcat with its pulse-pounding 710-horsepower supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® SRT V8 engine. Offering far more than brute force, the upscale interior of the Durango also boasts plenty of premium comfort amenities along with the award-winning Uconnect® infotainment system to help you stay connected no matter how far the journey takes you. In a sea of uninspired alternatives, the Dodge Durango defies convention with plenty of attitude and forward-thinking innovations that help you get the most out of every mile.
What the Critics Say
“The Durango SRT, which is what we tested, is a testament to Dodge's commitment to performance. The engine is powerful, accelerating this 5,500-pound behemoth effortlessly to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds. Yet the Durango is also well mannered in everyday driving. Braking performance is strong and smooth. The transmission's shifts are also buttery smooth and don't feel the least bit abrupt in stop-and-go traffic.” - Edmunds
“In a segment full of exceedingly practical vehicles, the Dodge Durango stands out as the muscle car alternative to its three-row peers. Its styling invokes the popular Charger sedan, both in terms of its bulging fenders and its gaping grille. Impressive towing capability and a range of available V-8 engines further sets the Durango apart from its peers that are largely powered by four- or six-cylinder powerplants.” - MotorTrend
What’s New in the 2026
Aside from the debut of a new Blacktop Redline package for certain trims, there aren’t any noteworthy changes or updates to the iconic Dodge Durango for the 2026 model year. As a replacement model is nearing the final stages prior to production, it’s anticipated that this could be the final year for this particular generation of the Dodge Durango.

Dodge Durango Features
Muscle Car Performance
With most of the competition coming standard with a four-cylinder engine, the Dodge Durango stands out with its robust 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 that produces 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. In addition to this already capable standard engine choice, buyers can also upgrade to the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 that produces 360 horsepower, 390 lb-ft of torque, and the unmistakable roar of a muscle car. For those who demand nothing but the best, the Durango Hellcat is powered by a purpose-built supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® SRT V8 engine that produces 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque. This monster of a powertrain gives the Durango the ability to rocket from 0 to 60 MPH in a blistering 3.5 seconds, a significant milestone for a three-row SUV. Six-piston high-performance Brembo brakes come standard on several trims while an available Bilstein® Active-Damping High-Performance Suspension delivers athletic yet confident handling characteristics for the Dodge Durango.
Practical Versatility
While exhilarating performance is a great way to enliven your commute, practicality remains an essential part of any true SUV. When you drive a Dodge Durango, excitement and versatility don’t have to be mutually exclusive thanks to standard three-row seating for up to 7 passengers along with an impressive 43.3 cubic feet of rear cargo space. Need even more room for your gear? Fold down the second and third row seats to create a massive 85.1 cubic feet of maximum cargo space to carry all of your essentials. Accessing the cargo area is effortless thanks to an available power-adjustable rear liftgate as well. Even your largest toys can come along for the adventure thanks to a maximum towing capacity rating of up to 8,700 pounds for the Durango. Naturally, any true family-friendly SUV needs a comprehensive collection of active safety features. Highlights include Electronic Stability Control, Electronic Roll Mitigation, rain-sensing wipers, Blind Spot Monitoring, and high-performance braking systems. For added confidence, the Dodge Durango is also available with an optional all-wheel drive system to help you excel in all types of weather conditions.
Premium Interior
With plenty of creature comforts to keep the whole crew satisfied, the Dodge Durango features an ergonomic interior that’s equally as luxurious as it is innovative. Chilly winter mornings are no match for the Durango thanks to available features including heated front seats, heated outboard rear seats, and a heated steering wheel. In warmer weather, a touch of a button is all you need to activate the ventilation functions on the front seats or open its optional power sunroof for some fresh air. In terms of connectivity, the Durango benefits from the standard Uconnect® infotainment system along with a 10.1-inch touchscreen display featuring Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone integration. In terms of audio options, you’ll have your choice of a standard six-speaker Alpine® stereo system along with an upgraded Harman Kardon® system with a jaw-dropping 19 speakers.
