The 2026 Dodge Durango arrives with a bold new identity, embracing its muscle-SUV roots more than ever before. Dodge has removed the V-6 from the lineup entirely, making the V-8 standard across all trims. This move highlights the brand’s commitment to power and performance, setting the Durango apart in a market that often leans toward efficiency and hybridization.
The lineup now starts with the GT trim, which is powered by a 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 producing 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque. Moving up, the R/T trim features the 6.4-liter 392 HEMI, delivering a muscular 475 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. At the top sits the SRT Hellcat, powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 that unleashes an astonishing 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque. This range makes the Durango one of the most powerful three-row SUVs available, capable of 0–60 mph in just over six seconds in some trims and towing up to 8,700 pounds when properly equipped.
Beyond raw performance, the 2026 Durango offers an updated design and a host of new features. Exterior options include blacked-out styling, redline accent packages, and new wheel designs that enhance its aggressive stance. Inside, drivers and passengers are treated to modern technology like a 10.1-inch touchscreen with Uconnect, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and available premium audio systems. Seating for up to seven is standard, with second-row captain’s chairs available for added comfort and versatility.
Customization has also been expanded, particularly with the Hellcat Jailbreak edition, which offers more than six million potential combinations of colors, wheels, badges, and interior finishes. This allows owners to create a Durango that truly reflects their personality and style.
While the 2026 Durango excels in performance and presence, it does come with trade-offs. Fuel economy is not a strength, and emissions restrictions mean some high-performance trims may not be available in certain regions. Still, Dodge has made it clear that this SUV is not about compromise—it’s about delivering maximum muscle in a family-friendly package.
The result is a three-row SUV that stands out in a crowded field, offering unrivaled power, bold styling, and the kind of driving experience that only a Dodge can deliver.
With so many four wheel drive systems to choose from, it might be difficult to decide which is the best system for you.
