The Dodge Durango proves that a family SUV can provide all the driving thrills of a muscle car without sacrificing the comfort and convenience you need in everyday driving.

Built to an imposingly hefty SUV design, the three-row Durango has a road presence that’s ably matched by the extreme power available under the hood. What’s more, the interior boasts a level of technology to match any high-end SUV available today, making the Durango a genuine all-rounder with the quality to suit any driver’s needs.

First Impressions

The Durango immediately impresses with its chunky, powerful profile, starting with a truck-like front end that leads back through an upright cabin to a raised rear equipped with dual spoilers. In a nod toward Dodge’s muscle car heritage, the hood features a distinctive raised air inlet to give the Durango a high-performance attitude that’s unmatched by other SUVs on the market.

High-End Performance on Every Model

To fulfill the promises made by the forceful exterior design, the 2023 Durango boasts possibly the most powerful engine found on any current SUV. The available 6.2L HEMI V8 Hellcat pushes out an incredible 710 horsepower and 645lb-ft of torque to deliver a level of performance to rival any sports coupe. Floor the gas pedal, and this SUV can race from 0-96.5km/h in just 3.5 seconds, barely pausing for breath before topping out at a searing 290km/h.

Slightly lower down the power scale, the 5.7L V8 option makes a healthy 475 horsepower and 470lb-ft, capable of making the 0-100km/h time in less than five seconds.

Other engine models include a fuel-efficient V6, providing plenty of options to balance performance and fuel consumption, while a combination of all-wheel drive, eight-speed automatic transmission, and selectable drive modes mean the Durango is a match for even the toughest driving conditions. If you need to haul heavy loads from time to time, the available Tow N Go package offers a maximum towing capacity of 3,946kg, a figure that outshines many mid-size pickups.

Driver-Focused Cockpit Design

The memorable driving experience doesn’t end with the compelling powertrain options. The Durango’s cockpit design owes plenty to the iconic Challenger, Dodge’s outright performance car, with a track-inspired layout that keeps all controls in easy reach while the driver concentrates on tearing through the curves ahead.

Although the cabin focus is firmly on the drive, the 2023 Durango also features plenty of advanced tech options, including an available wireless charging pad to keep your smartphone fully juiced with no trailing cables.

Spaciously Versatile Interior

While the power under the hood will satisfy even the most demanding drivers, the design of the cabin means the Durango also has the space and versatility you need for stress-free family journeys. In the standard format, three rows can seat up to seven with plenty of room to stretch out, with flexible seat folding options giving more than 50 ways to balance passenger and cargo space.

Replacing the second-row bench with optional dual captain’s chairs reduces the capacity to six, but provides an extra level of comfort plus the ability to easily move between the second and third rows with no seat folding required.
