Dodge’s Durango is a spacious three-row family SUV with the personality of a muscle car. From its chiseled good looks to its available V8 engine, this mid-sized vehicle promises a heart-pumping driving experience to go with its everyday usability. Here’s your quick introduction to the Dodge Durango!
Power and Performance
With up to 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque available from its proven 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine, the Durango is able to achieve an impressive maximum towing capacity of 6,200 pounds. Moving up to the 5.7L Hemi V8 increases output to 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque. As if that wasn’t enough grunt, the SRT 392 model really goes all out with its 475-horsepower 6.4L V8, enabling it to accelerate from 0 to 60 in just 4.7 seconds.
Completing the powertrain is a responsive 8-speed automatic transmission that offers steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. The Durango feels extra sporty with standard rear-wheel drive, but Dodge’s capable all-wheel drive system is available for tackling tricky terrain. Athletic handling in the corners and a smooth ride quality comes as a result of the vehicle’s well-balanced suspension.
Exterior
Featuring a wide and aggressive stance, the Durango is one handsome ride with muscle car-inspired styling. Narrow LED headlights and Dodge’s signature racetrack taillights demand attention as you cruise the streets. The available 20-inch polished aluminum wheels come in a variety of unique styles and, of course, you also have the option of adding Mopar dual racing stripes when you choose the RT or SRT trims.
The available Stow N Place Roof Rack System lets the Durango carry up to 150 pounds of cargo and makes it easy to transport items like mountain bikes and kayaks.
Passenger Cabin
The Durango’s attractive design continues into its interior, which boasts excellent craftsmanship. There’s also a plethora of stylish and comfortable upholstery choices, including premium black cloth, Capri leather in beige, and Nappa leather in Radar Red. Whether you’re hauling passengers and/or cargo, transporting them is a cinch thanks to the 60/40 split-folding third row seating and a maximum cargo space of 85.1 cubic feet.
Front dual-zone climate control and rear HVAC both come standard and there are plenty of storage compartments located throughout the vehicle. There’s also an optional power sunroof that quickly opens and closes at the touch of a button.
Infotainment
Featuring the widely praised Uconnect operating system, the Durango’s infotainment center is available with a user-friendly 8.4-inch or 10.1-inch touchscreen that provides extra convenience with its available voice recognition. Every trim comes with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, Bluetooth, and speed-sensitive volume. The available 19-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system delivers thrilling theater-quality sound.
Backing up its impressive design with equally impressive performance, the Dodge Durango easily outshines its rivals. Contact Ed Martin CDJR today and schedule your test drive with the newest model!
