New and Improved: The 2021 Dodge Durango

2021 Dodge Durango SRT Wheels

The 2021 Dodge Durango is built for power. It comes with a stock V6 capable of going from zero-to-60 in 7.4 seconds – which should put it squarely in the crosshairs of the performance-minded consumer. If that's not enough, upgrades include the Durango SRT and a limited-edition Durango SRT Hellcat. Power isn't everything though, and the additional features, such as its ergonomic interior and ample cargo space, make it a home-run for families and individuals alike.

Engine and Transmission

The Durango's 295-HP engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission is the vehicle's most fuel-efficient option. If zero to 60 in 7.4 seconds isn't enough to get your engine rumbling, you may want to upgrade it to the Durango SRT 392, which comes with a 475-hp Hemi V-8 that can send this midsized crossover from 0 to 60 in a brief 4.7 seconds.

If that's still not enough, the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat boasts a staggering 710-hp, making a veritable beast out of your family ride. If it's muscle under the hood that gets your heart pumping, the supercharged V-8 combined with the standard all-wheel-drive system is capable of towing up to 8700 lbs.

MPG

Estimates of the V-6 model run about 19mpg in the city and 26mpg on the highway. The Durango SRT gets about 13mpg in the city and 19 on the highway. If you choose the V-8 Version, you're looking at about 14mpg in the city and 22mpg highway. The 710-HP Hemi option's estimates are near the SRT, so expect similar fuel efficiency if you choose the largest engine option.

Interior

The focus of the interior design is on ergonomics and comfort. Expect a thick, leather-wrapped steering wheel, red and white on black gauges, and a stylish-looking metal-like trim.

Cargo Space

Cargo space is where the interior of the Durango really shines. With all of the seats folded down flat, it's possible to fit a whopping 30 carry-on-sized suitcases inside the vehicle. With the seats in place, the rear of the vehicle seats six and can carry up to four similar-sized bags in the space behind the third-row seats.

Infotainment

The base SXT and mid-range GT model both come with an 8.4-inch heads-up display. The GT and high-end Citadel and R/T models come with an optional 10.1-inch display. Both screens come standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

If your family or lifestyle requires connectivity on the go, an optional rear-seat entertainment system comes with two screens and provides both HDMI and RCA ports to easily connect additional devices.

The 2021 Durango is an impressive crossover SUV designed for drivers who aren't willing to compromise on power. With several engines to choose from, decent fuel economy, and a luxurious and comfortable interior, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better offer among its competitors.
