2019 Dodge Durango review

1. High-performance fun

The Dodge Durango is one of the only SUVs on the market with a third row (standard on all 2019 models except the base SXT), plus a variety of high-output performance engines. Beyond the base trim's 3.6L V6, you can opt for the 360-horsepower-5.7L-V8-powered R/T trim or the amazing 475-horsepower-6.4L-V8-powered SRT (all available on 2019 models). Also look for a variety of suspension, braking, and other performance-focused modifications on both trim levels. Both the R/T and SRT offer a lot of fun to go along with the practical SUV format.

2. Room for seven

The 2019 Durango isn't just a hot-rod SUV, it also has a practical side. With standard third-row seating at all trim levels, except the base SXT, you can bring everyone along on your fast-and-furious journey. The 2019 Dodge Durango is also a pleasure to spend time in, with standard three-zone climate control and available heated and ventilated front seats. That way, you can arrive at your destination in comfort—just remember that you may get there a bit early if you opt for one of the powerful V8 engines.

3. Muscle car looks

Driving a family hauler shouldn't be boring and neither should its exterior. With a wide variety of trim levels, plus cool color combinations available, the Durango is anything but dull. On the outside, you can pick from 11 exterior colors plus nine different wheel choices. Some 2019 Durangos come with red, blue, gunmetal, and silver stripes across the top for added style!

4. Spacious cargo capacity

Not only is there room for seven passengers, but there is also a generous 85.1 cubic feet of space behind the front seats with the second and third rows folded down (2019 models). The Durango also features plenty of storage options, with a large center console in the front and an available second-row mini-console with additional cup-holders and storage. All 2019 Durango trim levels also feature a covered rear storage area to keep your valuables out of sight.

5. The latest tech

Despite the bold looks, the 2019 Durango still comes with the latest technology. With standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you can stay connected to your favorite devices along the way. You can also expect standard features like active head restraints, advanced multistage front airbags, an inflatable drivers-side knee-bolster airbag, supplemental side-curtain airbags in all rows, hill start assist, and traction control. You can even add optional blind-spot and cross-path detection warnings, lane departure warning, rain brake support, a ParkView^® rear back-up camera, and forward collision warning with active braking, among others.
