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.
