With a standard eight-speed automatic transmission, excellent fuel economy and performance, LED exterior lighting, two available interior touchscreen multimedia centres, a customizable digital instrument cluster and an available high-definition dual-screen Blu-ray entertainment system, the Dodge Durango reaches even higher levels of sophistication building on its proven performance, utility and comfort.

Named one of Ward's “10 Best Engines” for three years, Durango’s standard 3.6-litre Pentastar™ V-6 engine paired with the standard eight-speed transmission generates an impressive 290 horsepower (295 horsepower on Rallye, Citadel and select Blacktop models) and 260 lb.-ft. of torque, gets up to 9.8L/100km (29 mpg) on the highway, and can tow up to a V6 best-in-class 2,812 kg (6,200 lb.).

The 5.7-litre engine’s Fuel Saver Technology with cylinder-deactivation allows the HEMI V-8 engine to achieve up to 11.5 L/100 kms (25 mpg) on the highway.

The instrument panel features a upscale centre stack that houses either the 5-inch and 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen multimedia centres. The bottom of the centre stack houses a media hub with an SD card slot, USB outlet and auxiliary jacks, as well as a storage bin.
