2026 Dodge Durango Review

Dodge designed the 2026 Durango to impress with its V8 engine lineup.^* The base GT comes with a 5.7L HEMI® V‑8 delivering 360 horsepower and 390 lb‑ft of torque, giving drivers a noticeable boost in acceleration and towing compared with previous V‑6 models.

The R/T trim upgrades to a 6.4L “392” HEMI® V8, producing 475 horsepower, making the Durango both athletic and capable. Pair it with the available Tow N Go package, and you can tow up to 8,700 pounds, perfect for trailers, boats, or camping gear.

At the top of the lineup, the SRT Hellcat Jailbreak packs a supercharged 6.2L V8 producing 710 horsepower. With this much power, drivers can enjoy thrilling acceleration while still fitting the whole family in the three-row cabin.

Dodge engineers balanced raw power with everyday usability, giving the 2026 Durango unmatched versatility.

Inside the 2026 Durango, Dodge blends comfort, style, and technology. Drivers interact with the Uconnect® 5 infotainment system on a 10.1-inch touchscreen, supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This system lets you access navigation, music, and apps seamlessly, keeping your focus on the road.

Dodge equips higher trims with wireless charging, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and available rear-seat entertainment screens, so every passenger stays entertained on long trips. The three-row cabin seats up to seven passengers comfortably, and folding the rear seats provides up to 85.1 cubic feet of cargo space, giving plenty of room for groceries, sports equipment, or weekend luggage.

Dodge also added premium interior materials and available options, such as leather upholstery, heated and ventilated seats, and dual-zone climate control, to create a refined and family-friendly environment. 

Dodge designed the 2026 Durango to protect drivers and passengers with a full suite of over 60 safety and driver-assist features. Standard features include Blind Spot Monitoring with trailer tow detection, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop, Rear Cross Path Detection, and seven airbags, including side-curtain protection.

These systems actively help drivers avoid collisions and navigate busy streets, making daily commutes safer and more efficient. Available packages enhance security further with forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and lane-keeping assist, offering peace of mind whether you drive in Worcester traffic or take extended highway trips.
