2026 Dodge Durango Powertrain 8.75/10
The 2026 Durango continues Dodge’s tradition of offering powerful engine options. The Standard Engine is a 3.6L V6 producing around 295 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. This engine tows up to 6,200 lbs.
You can also upgrade to the 5.7L Hemi V8 with 360 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque. The Hemi achieves best-in-class towing at 8,700 lbs.
For those who feel the need to really tear it up, Dodge offers the 6.4L V8 in the Dodge SRT Hellcat which pushes 475 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque.
All engines are paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive is available across most trims. The Durango GT comes with a performance-tuned suspension while the Hellcat SRT comes with Bilstein adaptive-dampening suspensions for added handling.
2026 Dodge Durango Interior 8.25/10
The Durango seats up to seven passengers across three rows. Available leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, and heated second-row seats gives the whole family some nice interior options. Cargo space is also generous with 17.2 cu-ft behind the third row and a maximum cargo space of 85.1 cu-ft with the second and third row folded.
The second row is where the Durango truly shines, with a bench seat that fits three or captain’s chairs for two, reducing seating but also adding more comfort and personal space.
The Durango has a bit less room than the Ford Expedition, but it is by no means a small space. A larger family will have plenty of room to get comfortable in a 2026 Dodge Durango.
2026 Dodge Durango Technology 8.5/10
Tech in the 2026 Durango is modern and user-friendly. The standard infotainment screen is 8.4 -inches with an option for 10.1-inch touchscreen. The Uconnect5 system is responsive and puts some modern convenience at your fingertips. The Durango also features Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, available Wi-Fi hotspot, and an optional Harman Kardon sound system.
Driver aids include standard review camera, blind-spot monitoring, and a rear cross-traffic alert. Available safety tech includes adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and forward collision warning.
2026 Dodge Durango Value 7/10
Starting at an MSRP of $ $38,495, The GT trim offers climate control, an 8.4-inch touchscreen, blind-spot monitoring, and seating for seven.
At an MSRP of $49,995, we recommend the 2026 Dodge Durango R/T. This trim comes equipped with the 5.7L Hemi V8, satin carbon wheels, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, and performance-tuned suspension.
For those with cash to spend, the SRT versions of the Dodge Durango deliver the greatest mix of performance and utility. It includes a head-spinning number of options and packages, but you can expect to find Brembo brakes, adaptive damping system, and premium interior features in all of them. The Hellcat SRT comes at a steep starting cost of $79,995.
The Durango is a unique offering, with more power and performance on tap than just about any other mid-size SUV, but it comes at the expense of an aging platform, fuel-hungry engines, and a standard warranty of 3 years or 36,000 miles. There’s also a powertrain warranty lasting 5 years or 60,000 miles.
If you’re in need of serious towing capacity or want a family SUV with more giddy-up than your average Kia Telluride, then the Durango is made for you.
