A Closer Look at the 2025 Dodge Durango

Broadly speaking, SUVs fall into two camps. First, you’ve got the family taxi. Practical, spacious, and not much else. You know the type. Then there’s the other kind. The kind that makes your heart beat a little faster just walking up to it. Sure, it’ll handle the school run, the dog, and a trunk full of groceries, but it won’t trade an ounce of fun to do it. The 2025 Dodge Durango is proudly in that second category.

A Closer Look at the 2025 Dodge Durango

How Much Power Does It Have?

As much as you’re ready to handle. Go for any GT model, and you’ll get the proven 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, good for 295 horsepower, 260 pound-feet of torque, and a best-in-class towing capacity of 6,200 pounds. Dodge estimates that you’ll get up to 26 mpg on the highway.

Step up to the R/T for the 5.7-liter HEMI V8. That’s two more cylinders and 2.1 liters of extra displacement, translating to 360 horsepower, 390 pound-feet of torque, a 7,400-pound towing capacity, and a 0-60 MPH time of 6.2 seconds. And because Dodge can’t resist going full throttle, they’ve got something even more outrageous waiting at the top: a 710-horsepower supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8, the most powerful gas engine ever stuffed into an SUV.

Is It a Good Family Hauler?

You’d be tempted to think the Durango spent all its energy chasing speed stats and power numbers, but no, it did not forget about the utility part of the SUV. You still get three rows of seating for up to seven passengers, a usable 17.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, and a maximum of 85.1 cubic feet when you fold everything flat.

In everyday terms, that’s enough space for four carry-on suitcases with all three rows up and 30 when they’re down.

Trim by Trim: What’s Included?

The 2025 Durango’s lineup is split into three main categories: GT, R/T, and SRT Hellcat. The base GT’s bag of goodies contains the V6 engine, a 10.1-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, cloth seating material, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and six speakers for your tunes. It’s rear-wheel drive by default, so if you’re after all-wheel drive, the GT Plus is where you want to be.

The next level up starts with the R/T, which includes features like heated seats, dual-zone AC, performance suspension, and nine speakers, and goes all the way to the R/T 20th Anniversary Premium, which comes with Brembo brakes, a performance-tuned exhaust, and a Bilstein active-damping suspension. The standard SRT Hellcat, of course, packs all the go-fast hardware you’d expect. But if you’re hungry for something even more savage, Dodge’s trio of special edition SRT Hellcats will blow your mind.
