Key Features of the 2027 Dodge Durango
HEMI® V8 Performance
The 2027 Dodge Durango stands out because it offers a performance range that few three-row SUVs can match. The standard 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine on GT and GT Plus models produces 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque while working with an eight-speed automatic transmission. For drivers who want unmistakable V8 power, the 5.7L HEMI® V8 on GT HEMI® V8 models delivers 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque. The R/T 392 models raise output with a 6.4L HEMI® V8 producing 475 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. At the top, the Durango SRT® Hellcat uses a Supercharged 6.2L HEMI® V8 engine with 710 maximum horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque. Dodge lists a 0-60 mph time of 3.5 seconds for the SRT® Hellcat, reinforcing the Durango’s position as an SUV with real muscle-car energy. This engine lineup gives shoppers meaningful choices rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Tow ’n Go Capability
The Durango is not only quick and powerful; it is also built to work. When properly equipped, SRT® Hellcat, R/T 392, and GT HEMI® V8 models with Tow ’n Go can tow up to 8,700 pounds. That capability can be valuable for boats, utility trailers, side-by-sides, small campers, and equipment haulers. The Tow ’n Go Package, available on all Durango HEMI® V8 models, adds performance-focused hardware such as SRT® Satin Carbon 20x10-Inch Wheels, Black Brembo Brake Calipers, Bilstein® Active Damping High-Performance Suspension, Electronic Limited Slip Rear Axle, Pirelli® Scorpion™ Zero Run-Flat 295 Tires, Performance Exhaust, and hard button Drive Modes for Track, Sport, Tow, and Snow. It also includes towing essentials such as a Class IV Trailer Hitch and Integrated Trailer Brake Control. For added trailering confidence, the Trailer Tow Group IV can include a seven-pin and four-pin wiring harness, Blind Spot Monitoring with Trailer Detection, Class IV Receiver Hitch, Rear Load-Leveling Suspension and Trailer Brake Controller.
Over 50 Seating Configurations
Inside, the 2027 Dodge Durango proves that performance does not have to come at the expense of practicality. This three-row SUV offers seating for up to seven passengers, depending on configuration, and more than 50 seating arrangements to support changing passenger and cargo needs. Available second-row Fold & Tumble seats make it easier to access the third row, while split-folding second- and third-row seats help the cabin adapt quickly when cargo takes priority. With the second and third rows folded, the Durango provides up to 85.1 cubic feet of cargo space. That amount of room is useful for luggage, sports bags, home improvement supplies, pet gear, or larger household items. The cabin can also be upgraded with available 12-way power front seats, available heated front seats, an available heated steering wheel, available premium leather-wrapped seating finishes, and the available Harman Kardon® Premium Audio System with an 825-watt amplifier and 19 speakers.
Uconnect® 5 with 10.1-Inch Touchscreen
Technology in the 2027 Durango is designed to feel natural, not complicated. The Uconnect® 5 system allows drivers to connect a compatible smartphone to the available 10.1-inch touchscreen, customize vehicle settings, and access entertainment, apps, and more. Up to five custom profiles can store tailored homepages, comfort settings, and vehicle settings, which is helpful when more than one driver regularly uses the SUV. Wireless Android Auto® compatibility and Apple CarPlay® support make it simple to access music, maps, phone calls, and compatible apps. On SRT®, R/T 392 and HEMI® V8 models, available Performance and SRT® Pages provide access to vehicle data such as g-force, engine power and vehicle dynamics. Navigation is also easy to view through the 10.1-inch Uconnect® touchscreen on SRT®, GT HEMI® V8, and R/T 392 models. The result is an interface that supports daily driving, long-distance travel, and performance-minded ownership.
Advanced Safety and Driver Assistance
The Durango backs up its power with safety and security features that help add confidence behind the wheel. Standard safety technology includes Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection, ParkView® Rear Backup Camera, Electronic Stability Control, and Advanced Brake Assist with Ready Alert Braking. Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection can help alert the driver to vehicles in the blind spot zone or crossing behind the SUV while backing up. Available LaneSense® Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist can provide audible and visual alerts and may help guide the vehicle back toward its lane if unintentional drift is detected. Available Forward Collision Warning with Full Stop can alert the driver to a potential frontal collision and can apply automated emergency braking if needed. Available Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop can adjust speed to help maintain a safe following distance and can bring the vehicle to a complete stop when necessary. For towing, available Blind Spot Monitoring with Trailer Tow Detection helps monitor areas beside the vehicle and trailer when changing lanes.
