New Packages, New Trims, Same Commitment to HEMI Power: The 2027 Durango Gets Even Better

The Dodge Durango has always done things on its own terms. While the rest of the three-row SUV segment has chased efficiency, crossover styling, and turbocharged four-cylinder engines, the Durango has stayed true to a different philosophy: genuine performance, class-leading towing capability, and the kind of HEMI V8 power that turns a family SUV into something genuinely exciting to drive. 

For 2027, Dodge doubles down on that identity in the most emphatic way possible, expanding the Durango lineup with new packages, new trim configurations, and a supercharged Hellcat variant that produces 710 horsepower. This is the three-row SUV that refuses to settle, and the 2027 model year is its strongest statement yet here at Landmark Dodge of Morrow. 

Coming off its best sales year in two decades, the momentum behind the Durango has never been stronger. Dodge has built on that foundation for 2027 by giving buyers more ways to personalize their Durango than ever before, with over 14 million possible combinations across the full lineup. Whatever the priority, whether that is affordable AWD performance, luxury comfort, maximum towing capability, or supercar-level straight-line speed, there is a 2027 Durango configured for exactly that driver.

HEMI Power Across the Entire Lineup: A Segment First That No Rival Can Match

The 2027 Dodge Durango holds a distinction that no other three-row SUV in the market can claim: every single trim in the lineup is powered by a HEMI V8 engine. This is not a performance option or an upgrade package. It is the baseline promise Dodge makes to every Durango buyer, and it sets the segment standard for what a three-row family SUV can and should deliver.

The entry point is the GT HEMI, powered by a 5.7-liter HEMI V8 producing 360 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque, with a zero-to-60 time of 6.2 seconds. Compared to the previous GT model, this represents a 22 percent improvement in horsepower, a 50 percent increase in torque, and a zero-to-60 improvement of more than a full second. Standard AWD and a 7,200-pound towing capacity make this the most affordable AWD V8 vehicle in the industry, a title that speaks directly to the value the Durango delivers at every level of the lineup.

Owners consistently describe the experience of getting behind the wheel of a HEMI-powered Durango as something that simply has to be felt to be fully understood. As one Kelley Blue Book reviewer put it, appreciating the feel of a V8 HEMI engine requires actually getting behind the wheel. That sentiment captures exactly what makes the Durango different from every other three-row SUV on the market today.

The R/T 392: Maximum Performance, Maximum Value

The R/T 392 takes the performance story considerably further with a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 producing 475 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. The zero-to-60 sprint drops to 4.4 seconds, and the R/T 392 has earned NHRA certification for a 12.9-second quarter-mile time. Best-in-class 8,700-pound towing capacity rounds out a performance package that positions this trim as the highest horsepower-per-dollar value in the gas-powered SUV segment.

For 2027, the R/T 392 receives meaningful new additions. A new Plus model expands the comfort and luxury options with Nappa leather-trimmed bucket seats, leather-wrapped door armrests and center console lid, heated first and second-row seats, ventilated front seats, a power sunroof, and black roof rails with integrated Stow 'n Place crossbars. 

The new Blacktop Redline package adds optional dual racing stripes, Crypto Sweep interior accents, forged Y-Spoke wheels, and Nappa and suede performance seats with six-passenger seating. Red seat belts and yellow Brembo brake calipers are available as standalone customization choices for buyers who want to make their R/T 392 uniquely their own.

"Every time I get in the Durango, every time I smash the pedal to the floor, every time I walk up to it in a parking lot, I smile. It has everything I want: aggressive good looks, amazing throaty sound, good solid performance, ride comfort, utility." — Verified Durango owner, Edmunds

That kind of owner enthusiasm is not an accident. The R/T 392 is built to generate exactly that feeling on every drive, combining family SUV practicality with performance credentials that most dedicated sports cars would be proud to claim.

The SRT Hellcat Jailbreak: 710 Horsepower and More Than 14 Million Ways to Make It Yours

At the top of the 2027 Durango lineup sits the SRT Hellcat, the most powerful gas-powered SUV ever produced. The supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 produces 710 horsepower and 645 pound-feet of torque, with a zero-to-60 time of 3.5 seconds and an NHRA-certified quarter-mile time of 11.5 seconds. Best-in-class 8,700-pound towing capacity means this extraordinary performance machine is also a genuinely capable working vehicle.

The 2027 Jailbreak model expands the personalization story to an almost limitless degree. A new six-passenger black Nappa and suede seating configuration joins the existing five and seven-passenger options, giving SRT Hellcat buyers three distinct interior layouts to choose from. New forged wheel options including the Forged Y-Spoke Machine Face and Forged Y-Spoke Foreshadow add to an already extensive customization menu.

With over 14 million possible combinations across seat colors, configurations, wheel choices, and exterior options, no two Jailbreak Durangos on the road need to look alike.

Every purchase of a Durango SRT Hellcat model also includes a one-day performance driving experience at Radford Racing School, the official Dodge and SRT high-performance driving school. This is Dodge acknowledging that a vehicle this capable deserves to be driven by someone who knows how to use everything it has to offer.

New Packages Add Even More Reasons to Buy Now

The 2027 Durango GT HEMI introduces a new Brass Monkey exterior package featuring black 345 fender badges with brass tracers and a choice of 20-inch Brass Monkey wheels, bringing a distinctive, premium visual identity to the most accessible trim in the lineup. A new Pitch Black exterior color joins the Durango's bold color palette across all models, adding to an already striking range that includes B5 Blue, Destroyer Gray, Green Machine, Night Moves, Red Oxide, and White Knuckle.

What Durango Owners Say About Living With One Every Day

The numbers and the packages tell a compelling story, but the real measure of any vehicle is how it feels to own and drive over time. Durango owners are consistently among the most enthusiastic in the segment. According to Kelley Blue Book, 90 percent of Durango owners would recommend the vehicle to others, with 81 percent rating it a full five out of five stars. Styling and comfort consistently emerge as the ownership experience's standout strengths.

"When you get behind the wheel of this particular vehicle, you have to appreciate the feel of a V8 HEMI engine. My love for these types of cars stems from forty years of exposure to American muscle cars, and the Durango delivers that experience every single time." — Verified Durango owner, Kelley Blue Book

That emotional connection between driver and machine is something the Durango delivers in a way that turbocharged crossovers and battery-powered alternatives simply cannot replicate. The HEMI note at startup, the authority of the throttle response, the confidence of class-leading towing capacity: these are the qualities that bring Durango owners back to the brand again and again.

Security, Safety, and the Confidence to Go Anywhere

The entire 2027 Durango lineup receives a meaningful security update for this model year, with a new digital deadbolt system that minimizes unauthorized key pairing and key fob duplication. This addition reflects Dodge's commitment to ensuring that every Durango owner has complete confidence in the protection of their vehicle both on the road and parked in the driveway.

Standard AWD across the GT HEMI lineup ensures that traction and stability are built into the Durango experience from the very first trim level, while the performance-tuned suspension and brake systems across the R/T 392 and SRT Hellcat variants deliver the kind of dynamic capability that makes the Durango as engaging on a winding road as it is at a track day or while towing a loaded trailer.
