The Dodge Durango has long been the SUV of choice for drivers who want muscle-car performance without sacrificing practicality. Since its debut in 1997, the Durango has evolved from a truck-based SUV into a refined yet powerful family hauler, and the 2025 model continues that tradition with an unbeatable combination of performance, capability, and advanced technology here at Landmark Dodge of Morrow.
Whether it’s the heart-pounding thrill of a supercharged V8, the practicality of a spacious three-row interior, or the confidence of top-tier safety features, the 2025 Durango is built to deliver. With special edition models, cutting-edge tech, and impressive towing capacity, this SUV stands out as the ultimate blend of power and versatility. Let’s dive into what makes the 2025 Dodge Durango a top contender for those who refuse to compromise on performance or practicality.
#5: Unmatched V8 Power – Supercharged for Performance
The deep rumble of a V8 is music to any performance enthusiast’s ears, and the 2025 Dodge Durango delivers with multiple engine choices to suit different driving needs.
- Durango R/T: Equipped with a 5.7-liter HEMI® V8, this powerhouse churns out 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque. Standard all-wheel drive, a TorqueFlite® eight-speed automatic transmission, and cylinder deactivation technology ensure a balance of power and efficiency.
- Durango SRT Hellcat: If nothing less than mind-blowing performance will do, the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® V8 delivers a staggering 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque. This beast rockets from 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, completes the quarter-mile in an NHRA-certified 11.5 seconds, and boasts a top speed of 180 mph. Standard all-wheel drive keeps all that power in check, while the SRT Performance Pages display g-force readings, lap times, and a built-in dynamometer.
- Durango GT: For those who prefer efficiency without sacrificing performance, the GT trim features a 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 that generates 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Rear-wheel drive is standard, with an available all-wheel drive option for added traction.
#4: Limited Edition SRT Hellcats – Exclusive Style Meets Extreme Power
For 2025, the Durango SRT Hellcat lineup includes three limited edition models: Silver Bullet, Hammerhead, and Brass Monkey—each featuring unique styling elements that make them stand out.
- Silver Bullet: Dressed in Triple Nickel paint with a satin black hood, this edition rides on six-piston Brembo® brakes with red calipers. Inside, Ebony Red Nappa leather seats, sephia stitching, a suede steering wheel, and carbon fiber accents create a high-performance atmosphere.
- Hammerhead: Coated in deep Night Moves blue, this version boasts 20-inch Satin Carbon wheels, black Brembo® brake calipers, and a cabin wrapped in Grey Laguna leather with silver and sephia contrast stitching.
- Brass Monkey: As the name suggests, this edition flaunts 20-inch dark bronze wheels paired with striking Red Oxide paint, ensuring a bold road presence.
Each of these special edition models is powered by the 710-hp supercharged HEMI® V8, offering muscle car excitement in a family-sized SUV.
#3: Space & Capability – Built for Families and Adventures
Beyond its thrilling performance, the 2025 Durango delivers when it comes to space and practicality.
- Seating for the Whole Crew: The GT and R/T trims come standard with seven-passenger seating, while the SRT Hellcat features six-passenger seating with standard second-row captain’s chairs for added comfort. Car seats can be easily latched into the second row, and a pass-through walkway allows easy access to the third row.
- Cargo Versatility: With 17.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, 43.3 cubic feet with the third row folded, and a massive 85.1 cubic feet when all rear seats are down, there’s room for groceries, gear, and everything in between.
- Towing Muscle: Whether hauling a trailer or a boat, the Durango has serious pulling power:
- Durango GT (3.6L V6): Up to 6,200 lbs.
- Durango R/T (5.7L HEMI® V8): Up to 7,200 lbs.
- Durango SRT Hellcat: Up to 8,700 lbs.
