The Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat was originally expected to bow out in 2024—but it's back for 2025, much to the excitement of performance enthusiasts. With a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 under the hood, this machine delivers a driving experience that feels more like commanding a rocket than piloting a family SUV. Even under light throttle, the supercharger’s distinctive whine is impossible to ignore—and downright addictive here at Landmark Dodge of Morrow.
A Family Hauler With a Wild Side
The Durango SRT Hellcat isn’t just about brute force. It blends high-octane performance with everyday usability in surprising ways. School drop-offs and grocery runs take on a new character when they're powered by 710 horsepower. Even among elite high-performance SUVs, the Durango holds its own—offering an unmistakable presence and unrelenting attitude.
What’s New for 2025?
For 2025, Dodge has introduced three special edition models: Silver Bullet, Hammerhead, and Brass Monkey. These trims feature unique visual cues and styling themes tied to their names. They build on the already aggressive design of the Hellcat, offering enthusiasts fresh ways to stand out from the crowd.
Supercharged Specs That Impress
Under the hood remains the familiar and beloved formula: a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 producing 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque. This power flows through an eight-speed automatic transmission and a standard all-wheel-drive system. Despite its considerable size, the Durango SRT Hellcat can rocket from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 3.5 seconds.
It’s not just about straight-line speed either. With massive Brembo brakes featuring six-piston front calipers, it can stop with the confidence of a much smaller vehicle. And when it's time to haul more than speed, the Durango is ready—with a towing capacity exceeding 8,700 pounds and up to 85.1 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded.
Designed for the Drive—Every Day
While some high-powered SUVs demand compromise, the Durango SRT Hellcat delivers a surprisingly comfortable ride for daily use. Thanks to adaptive suspension, wide tires, and a stiffened chassis, it remains planted without punishing its occupants. Supportive sport seats add to the everyday usability, making long drives more enjoyable than expected.
Behind the wheel, it's clear this vehicle was built to engage the driver. From the deep growl of the exhaust to the responsive handling, it offers an exhilarating yet manageable experience. Other drivers—especially those in sports or muscle cars—often take notice, drawn to the unmistakable sound and presence.
Performance Meets Practicality
Despite its muscle-car heart, the Durango doesn’t forget its duties as a family vehicle. There’s plenty of room across all three rows, with space in the rear that's ideal for children or smaller passengers. The intuitive Uconnect 5 infotainment system is displayed on a crisp 10.1-inch touchscreen, and a 19-speaker Harman Kardon sound system brings concert-quality audio to every drive.
Form and Function, Perfectly Balanced
The 2025 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat proves that you don’t have to choose between performance and practicality. While its supercharged heart steals the spotlight, the thoughtful design elements throughout the cabin remind drivers and passengers alike that this SUV is built for more than just thrills.
With premium materials, a driver-centric layout, and intuitive controls, the interior creates an environment that’s both functional and refined. From the configurable digital display to wireless smartphone integration, the tech features are just as modern as the muscle under the hood.
Special Editions That Make a Statement
The newly introduced Silver Bullet, Hammerhead, and Brass Monkey editions do more than add a unique aesthetic. Each one showcases Dodge’s commitment to personalization and presence. Whether it’s the darkened “Lights Out” wheels, exclusive exterior colors, or interior details that reflect each edition’s theme, these trims give buyers a chance to drive something truly distinctive. They’re not just limited-run models—they’re rolling statements of identity and attitude.
Confident Capability, On-Road or Off
While the Durango SRT Hellcat may not be an off-roader in the traditional sense, it’s more than ready to tackle a variety of driving conditions. The all-wheel-drive system provides surefooted traction in inclement weather, while its weight-balanced platform and torque-rich V8 ensure smooth power delivery across surfaces. Whether merging onto the highway or maneuvering through tight city streets, it handles with surprising agility for a vehicle of its size and output.
More Than Just a Muscle SUV
What makes the Durango SRT Hellcat so compelling is its versatility. It doesn’t just check boxes—it erases the lines between performance SUV and practical family hauler. It’s the kind of vehicle that can command attention at a car meet, then comfortably ferry the family to soccer practice the next morning. With room for up to seven passengers, state-of-the-art safety systems, and bold performance credentials, the Durango SRT Hellcat is as much about lifestyle as it is about horsepower.
A Legend That Refuses to Quit
While many thought the SRT Hellcat variant would disappear after 2024, its return in 2025 is a clear signal: Dodge isn’t done making bold moves. As the industry leans further into electrification, this supercharged SUV stands as a symbol of classic American performance, engineered for those who still crave the raw, visceral connection of V8 power. The Durango SRT Hellcat doesn’t just defy expectations—it defines a segment.
Final Thoughts
The 2025 Durango SRT Hellcat is unapologetic in its mission: to deliver pure, supercharged adrenaline. With 710 horsepower under your right foot, this SUV is more than capable—it’s a statement. Aggressive styling, thunderous power, and tight handling make it one of the most engaging performance vehicles on the road today, all with room for the entire crew!
