The New 2026 Dodge Durango

The 2026 Dodge Durango specs are impressive to say the least. Actually, that might be an understatement. Every single Durango now rolls off the lot with a HEMI V-8 engine standard. You get to choose between three incredible powertrains: the 5.7-liter, the 392-cubic-inch, or the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V-8. It also delivers best-in-class towing capability at every trim level, meaning up to 8,700 pounds of towing capacity.

Let's start with the GT trim. This year, it gets the 5.7-liter HEMI upgrade, pushing out 360 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque. Those numbers represent a 22% jump in horsepower and a massive 50% increase in torque compared to previous models. The sprint from 0 to 60 mph now happens in just 6.2 seconds instead of 7.2.

For the first time ever, the Dodge Durango R/T will also be available with the legendary 392 HEMI V-8. This monster delivers 475 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. That's a 115-horsepower increase over the previous 5.7-liter HEMI-powered R/T. It also happens to be the most horsepower available in the industry at this price point.

Then there's the Hellcat. The supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V-8 produces an earth-shaking 710 horsepower and 645 pound-feet of torque. This thing launches from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. The quarter-mile disappears in 11.5 seconds, and the top speed reaches 180 mph. Those are supercar numbers in a three-row SUV.

An SUV with this much power under the hood should not also have room for seven passengers. And yet here we are. The interior flexibility is honestly remarkable. Over 50 seating configurations give you the freedom to adapt your Durango to whatever life throws your way. You also get an expansive 85.1 cubic feet of cargo space at your disposal. The versatility here is second to none.

Jailbreak models take personalization to another level entirely. You can choose from five seat colors, three seating configurations, and four seat belt colors. Your Durango becomes uniquely yours inside and out.

Safety remains a top priority, too. Seven standard airbags come equipped across the lineup, along with full-length three-row side-curtain airbags. Active head restraints provide additional protection for you and your passengers.

The aggressive stance that made the Durango famous is back and bolder than ever. Green Machine joins the color palette as a brand-new exterior paint option for 2026. Also, B5 Blue returns to the Durango lineup after being absent since 2018. This heritage color brings a burst of nostalgia for longtime Dodge enthusiasts while looking absolutely stunning on the modern body style.

The Blacktop Redline package adds serious attitude with new 20-inch Black Noise wheels alongside blacked-out HEMI and Dodge badging. Front and rear SRT spoilers complete the sinister look. Meanwhile, the R/T features new wheels, including new 20-inch Satin Carbon wheels and Forged Lights Out wheels of the same size.

Power means nothing without control. The 2026 Durango puts everything you need right at your fingertips through smart design and cutting-edge technology.

The massive 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen runs the latest UConnect 5 system. It's responsive, intuitive, and makes staying connected effortless. Your phone charges wirelessly on the dedicated charging pad while wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration keep your apps accessible without fumbling for cables. Dodge Performance Pages let you monitor your engine stats and customize your driving experience in real time.

Advanced sensors and cameras work together constantly to keep you safe on the road. More than 60 available safety and security features include things like Available Forward Collision Warning with Full Stop. The Dodge Durango safety technology features expand well beyond that, too.

Finding the right 2026 Durango comes down to matching your personality with the perfect configuration. Come see the 2026 Dodge Durango for sale at our Dodge dealership in Junction City, KS, to experience these trim levels firsthand.

The GT represents the gateway to HEMI-powered three-row SUV ownership. Dodge upgraded the GT with the iconic 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 for 2026. That swap adds 65 horses over last year's V-6 configuration and transforms the entire driving experience. This makes the Durango GT the most affordable all-wheel-drive V-8 vehicle in the industry. Rear-wheel drive is also available if you prefer.

That upgraded engine brings a more aggressive exhaust note and driving feel that transforms your daily commute into something special. Towing capacity jumps 40% compared to previous models when equipped with the R/T Tow N Go package.

Standard features include LED headlights, heated mirrors, a power liftgate, remote keyless entry, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, and rear HVAC with separate controls. The 8-way driver's seat with 4-way lumbar keeps you comfortable while the 4-way passenger seat takes care of your co-pilot.

This one adds a few extra goodies that elevate your daily experience. The most noticeable upgrade swaps cloth seats for premium leather that looks and feels exceptional.

All-wheel drive comes standard here, along with stunning 20-inch wheels and a power sunroof that opens up your cabin to the sky. The Alpine audio system with nine speakers and a subwoofer fills the interior with concert-quality sound.

The main addition to the Premium when upgrading from the Dodge Durango GT Plus is the sound system. Enjoy a Harman Kardon Premium Audio System with 19 Speakers and an 825-Watt Amp to make your roadtrip music sound better than ever. The safety features expand to include Advanced Brake Assist, Lane Departure Warning Plus, and more.

You’ll also find new luxurious surfaces inside the cabin. For example, the GT Premium trim comes with a Premium Leather Wrapped Instrument Panel and Console with Carbon Fiber Interior Accents. The headliner also gains a suede covering. Finally, a charging pad for wireless charging rounds out the package.

This is it. The most powerful gas-powered SUV ever built. Nothing else on the road can match what the Hellcat brings to the table. For performance reasons, the Hellcat seats five instead of seven. That trade-off gives you 710 horsepower and a driving experience unlike anything else in the segment.

Ventilated seats keep you cool during spirited driving while the passenger enjoys 8-way power seats with 4-way lumbar support. A 120V outlet inside powers whatever devices you need. The power-tilting steering wheel adjusts to your perfect driving position, and Nappa leather seats with leather door trims surround you in luxury. The turbo/supercharger boost gauge lets you watch that supercharger do its thing in real time.

The SRT Hellcat Jailbreak opens the door to a staggering six million-plus ways to make your vehicle stand out. It brings 6 wheel options, exterior colors, and badges, plus 5 dual-stripe options. You can even choose between four brake caliper colors, which lets you build something one-of-a-kind.

Inside, you get the choice of three seating configurations: 5-, 6-, or 7-passenger seating. These are accompanied by five new seat colors, including the iconic Hammerhead and Demonic Red colors. To top it off, choose between Black, Hammerhead, Sepia, or Red seatbelts.

Beyond that, the Jailbreak retains the most powerful Supercharged 6.2L HEMI from the previous trim level.

This 2026 Dodge Durango three-row SUV review barely scratches the surface of what makes this vehicle special. The combination of raw American power, practical family features, and head-turning style creates something unique in the SUV market.
