Interior
The Durango
is built as a three-row SUV, making it a roomy cabin that can seat seven and is
ideal for family use. Seating configurations are flexible, allowing for
captain's chairs in the second row.
Cabin
materials for the Durango are made of adequately mixed quality material, with
quality plastic components throughout the cabin. Higher trim levels have much
more to offer, including luxury features such as Nappa Leather seats, heated
seats, ventilated seats, and a sunroof. The steering wheel may be leather
wrapped to give a luxurious feel.
Ultimately,
the Durango's cabin is comfortable and functional. The Durango has a
commendable cargo capacity of 85.1 cubic feet for hauling tasks.
Exterior
The new Dodge Durango stands out for its unique exterior styling. Its unique aesthetic
styling gives it a robust but stylish look, which makes it stand out on the
streets of State College. The Durango's design mimics that of a muscle car with
the stance of an SUV.
The front
fascia features a badged grille between the two front LED headlights. It would
be commendable to note that these looks change modestly from one trim level to
the next. Trims like the R/T and SRT 392 adopt a sporty look meshed into its SUV
styling.
Performance
The Durango
SRT 392 All-Wheel-Drive comes standard with a 6.4L HEMI V8 engine, producing a
potent 475 horsepower. With this engine, it can tow up to 8,700 pounds, which
is the most in its class. This powertrain makes it one of the fastest three-row
American SUVs today, pushing the vehicle to 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds. Also
available is a 5.7L HEMI V8 engine which makes 360 horsepower. It utilizes
Variable Valve Timing technology to improve fuel efficiency.
The base
modes come with a 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine, producing 295 horsepower and 260
pound-feet of torque. The V6 engine can tow up to 6,200 pounds. All these
engines are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, which smoothly
complements their power. The rear wheel axle setup gives the Durango proper
weight distribution.
