2026 Dodge Durango: What's in stock, trim-level comparison, FAQ's.

    Updated 2026-06-05
    Quick Answer

    The Dodge Durango is a three-row SUV positioned as the muscle-car answer to the family three-row segment. For 2025 and 2026 it offers the 3.6L Pentastar V6 (~295 hp, 8-speed automatic), the 5.7L HEMI V8 R/T (~360 hp), the SRT 392 with the 6.4L HEMI (~475 hp), and the reissued SRT Hellcat with the supercharged 6.2L HEMI (~710 hp) — making the Durango the only three-row SUV in the segment that still offers a V8, let alone a Hellcat-derived supercharged V8. Tow rating reaches 8,700 lb when properly equipped.

    Inside the Dodge Durango

    What the Durango is

    The Durango is the muscle-car answer to the three-row family SUV segment. While Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, and Kia Telluride are competing on hybrid efficiency, suburban refinement, and interior packaging, the Durango is competing on engine sound, straight-line performance, and the fact that it is essentially the only three-row SUV you can still buy with a V8. For 2025 and 2026 the engine lineup is V6, HEMI V8 (R/T), 6.4L HEMI (SRT 392), and the supercharged 6.2L HEMI Hellcat — Stellantis brought the Hellcat back for last-call availability after its planned discontinuation, so confirm current production with the dealer. Tow rating reaches 8,700 lb when properly equipped, which is unusual for a three-row SUV at this price point.

    Choosing between trims

    GT is the value entry point — three rows, the 3.6L V6, available AWD, and a long list of standard features. Citadel is the on-road luxury trim with the V6 or the optional HEMI, more standard luxury content, and 20-inch wheels. R/T is where the Durango becomes a Durango: 5.7L HEMI V8, AWD standard, performance-tuned suspension, and the V8 exhaust note. SRT 392 takes the 6.4L HEMI from the Challenger / Charger — about 475 hp — with launch control, performance brakes, and a much more aggressive suspension calibration. SRT Hellcat (last-call) takes the supercharged 6.2L HEMI making about 710 hp, currently the highest-horsepower three-row SUV ever produced, with all the supporting performance hardware: Brembo brakes, performance tires, AWD with launch control.

    How it stacks up against the alternatives

    Direct competitors in the three-row family-SUV segment include the Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, Kia Telluride, Hyundai Palisade, Chevrolet Traverse, and Ford Explorer. On packaging, fuel economy, and interior refinement, every one of those competitors does its job better than the Durango. On engine choice, on towing, on V8 sound, and on outright performance, none of them comes close — the Durango occupies a niche entirely on its own. Cross-shoppers who want a V8 in a three-row SUV are usually choosing Durango against the Tahoe (which still offers the 6.2L V8 in some trims) or the Wagoneer / Grand Wagoneer; cross-shoppers who want SRT-Hellcat-grade performance in a family SUV simply have no alternative on the new market. The Durango buyer typically already knows which Durango they want before they walk in the door.

    Pros and Cons

    Pros
    • Only three-row SUV in its segment with a V8 option — and the only one with a Hellcat-derived supercharged V8.
    • Tow rating up to 8,700 lb with the right configuration — strong for the three-row segment.
    • AWD standard on R/T and SRT trims; Durango handles snow and rain better than its muscle-car attitude suggests.
    • Three full rows of seating, with available captain's chairs in the second row.
    • Distinctive styling — the Durango looks like a Charger that grew a third row, and that is the point.
    • Long list of standard features even on GT, including the Uconnect infotainment system.
    • Strong resale on R/T and SRT trims thanks to the V8 nostalgia premium and the Hellcat last-call collector interest.
    Cons
    • Fuel economy on the V8 trims is poor — the Hellcat is genuinely thirsty, even by V8 SUV standards.
    • Interior packaging is older than competitors' — the Durango has been on this platform for a long time.
    • Third row is tighter than Highlander, Pilot, or Telluride in the same price range.
    • Infotainment, while functional, lags newer Stellantis Uconnect 5 implementations in some respects.
    • SRT Hellcat carries a substantial price premium and limited production allocation — confirm availability with the dealer before counting on it.

    Frequently Asked Questions about the 2026 Dodge Durango

    Four engines: the 3.6L Pentastar V6 making about 295 hp; the 5.7L HEMI V8 (R/T trim) making about 360 hp; the 6.4L HEMI V8 (SRT 392) making about 475 hp; and the supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 (SRT Hellcat) making about 710 hp. All use the 8-speed automatic transmission. The SRT Hellcat is currently a last-call configuration with limited production allocation — confirm availability with the dealer.
    Up to 8,700 pounds when properly equipped with the available towing package. This is among the strongest tow ratings in the three-row SUV segment — most direct competitors (Highlander, Pilot, Telluride) max out at 5,000 to 6,000 pounds.
    Yes — three V8 options are still on the menu for 2025 and 2026: the 5.7L HEMI in the R/T trim, the 6.4L HEMI in the SRT 392, and the supercharged 6.2L HEMI in the SRT Hellcat. The Durango is currently the only three-row SUV in its segment offering a V8, let alone a Hellcat-derived supercharged V8.
    R/T uses the 5.7L HEMI V8 (~360 hp) with AWD standard and a performance-tuned suspension — it is the muscle trim. SRT 392 uses the larger 6.4L HEMI (~475 hp) with launch control, performance brakes, and a much more aggressive suspension calibration. SRT Hellcat uses the supercharged 6.2L HEMI (~710 hp) — currently the highest-horsepower three-row SUV ever produced. R/T is the everyday muscle Durango; SRT is the track-capable specialty version.
    Up to seven passengers in the standard 2-3-2 configuration, or six passengers when ordered with second-row captain's chairs. Three rows are standard on every Durango trim.
    AWD is optional on GT and Citadel (V6 and HEMI configurations), and is standard on R/T, SRT 392, and SRT Hellcat. The system is performance-oriented rather than off-road-oriented — the Durango is not a Wrangler or a body-on-frame Wagoneer in terms of off-pavement intent.
    No — the Durango uses a unibody architecture. The unibody construction is one reason the Durango handles more like a heavy car than a truck despite its towing capability.
    EPA estimates approximately 19 city / 26 highway / 21 combined MPG with the 3.6L V6. The 5.7L HEMI returns roughly 14 city / 22 highway, and the 6.4L and Hellcat V8s are markedly lower — the Hellcat in particular is genuinely thirsty even by V8 SUV standards.
    3 years or 36,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper coverage and 5 years or 60,000 miles of powertrain coverage, whichever comes first. Roadside assistance is included for the duration of the powertrain coverage period.
    No. The 2025 and 2026 Durango is gasoline-only with V6 or V8 engines. There is no hybrid or plug-in hybrid Durango. Buyers wanting a Stellantis three-row PHEV are looking at the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe.
