The 2025 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Last Call redefines what it means to drive a performance SUV. As the final iteration of the Hellcat-powered Durango, this “Silver Bullet” combines thrilling power with refined capability, delivering an unforgettable driving experience here at Landmark Dodge of Morrow. Boasting a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 HEMI engine that generates a staggering 710 horsepower, it’s a commanding presence on any road.
This extraordinary powertrain, which first debuted in 2015 and became a Durango hallmark starting in 2021, bids farewell with the 2025 model year as Dodge transitions its lineup. With the 2025 model year, Dodge is embracing a new era with electrification and a refreshed lineup, leaving behind the iconic V8 engine that defined its past performance.
Marking the 20th anniversary of HEMI-powered Durangos, Dodge has made this model year especially significant with special-edition Hellcat and R/T trims. The Durango SRT Hellcat’s capabilities are as impressive as its heritage: it rockets from 0-60 mph in just 3.4 seconds. It also completes the quarter-mile in 11.7 seconds at 117 mph, cementing its status as one of the fastest SUVs in its class.
Beyond speed, it offers exceptional practicality, with a spacious interior and over 85 cubic feet of cargo room when the rear seats are folded flat. Inside, the Durango blends comfort with sport-inspired luxury. The cabin features high-performance Nappa leather seats, a suede-wrapped steering wheel, and captain’s chairs for rear passengers, ensuring a comfortable ride for long journeys.
Advanced tech such as a Uconnect system with a large touchscreen display enhances convenience and connectivity, while the unmistakable rumble of the Hellcat’s dual exhaust adds an auditory thrill. A recent trip to the NHRA Finals at Pomona provided the perfect stage for the Durango’s capabilities. It made light work of transporting luggage and passengers while drawing admiring looks wherever it went.
With its commanding exhaust note echoing through Los Angeles streets, the Durango turned every drive into an event. From the scenic Sunset Boulevard to the vibrant energy of Beverly Hills, the Hellcat added a distinctive edge to a Southern California road trip. A stop at the Petersen Automotive Museum highlighted the Durango’s dual appeal as a thrilling performance machine and a family-friendly SUV.
Its spacious cargo area easily accommodated travel essentials, while its bold design and high-tech features ensured every passenger enjoyed the ride. The museum’s collection of iconic vehicles, including the 1954 Pontiac Bonneville Special and Roy Brizio’s 1927 Track T, provided a fitting backdrop to the Durango’s status as a modern icon. The Durango’s powerful engine and smooth handling made navigating the winding roads around the museum a breeze, allowing us to fully appreciate its performance capabilities and the surrounding automotive history.
At the NHRA Finals, the Silver Bullet held its own among the high-octane excitement of 12,000-horsepower dragsters. Dodge-sponsored drivers like Matt Hagan and Tony Stewart showcased the brand’s racing pedigree, while the Hellcat-powered Durango served as a testament to Dodge’s legacy of building vehicles that are as thrilling on the road as they are on the track.
With its unparalleled power, practicality, and performance, the 2025 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Last Call is a fitting farewell to a celebrated era of supercharged SUVs. It’s a bold reminder of what Dodge does best—delivering vehicles that excite, inspire, and leave a lasting impression.
