2025 Dodge Durango

Price Range: $38,495 - $113,325

The 2025 Dodge Durango might not appeal to a broad audience, but its performance and practicality are certainly impressive. Acceleration is strong with the Durango's available V8 or supercharged 710-hp V8. Towing capability is also robust. But what you get in capability you lack in refinement and up-to-date tech features.Read full review

2025 Dodge Durango Review

by Dan Frio

rating written by Brent Romans

Pros

Touchscreen tech interface is easy to use
Strong engines provide excellent towing ability and quick acceleration

Cons

Fuel economy is below average, especially with the V8
Many of the latest advanced driver safety features don't come standard
Bigger and bulkier to drive than rival crossover SUVs

What's new

New V8-powered R/T and SRT special editions
Revised trim level availability
Part of the third Durango generation introduced for 2011

Overview

Dodge may have discontinued its Charger and Challenger for 2025 but there's still some muscle available in the 2025 Durango. A three-row SUV, the Durango may be an intriguing alternative for shoppers who find most three-row crossovers a bit boring. The Durango has a bolder personality than the average family hauler, and that goes a long way toward making a practical vehicle feel less like an appliance. And when equipped with its available V8 engine — a big contributor to that personality — the Durango is capable of towing small to midsize trailers with ease. But it's also true that this generation Durango has been around for a long time.

Edmunds spotlight: The Durango's dated design

Updates over the years have managed to keep the Durango mostly fresh, with current infotainment and other upgrades coming regularly. But those changes can't entirely mask the fact that the current generation Durango debuted way back in 2011. Compared to newer rivals, the Durango suffers from below-average fuel economy and lackluster acceleration with its base V6 engine. The interior packaging also isn't as clever or efficient as in other three-row competitors.

Competitors to consider

With plenty of competition among three-row midsize SUVs, the Durango has carved out its own niche with comical power and top towing capacity. The Jeep twins, the Toyota Sequoia and the Ford Expedition can pull a bit more, while the Nissan Armada and Chevrolet Suburban aren't far behind. If towing isn't a priority, other options include the Kia Telluride, Hyundai Palisade, Honda Pilot and Mazda CX-90. All benefit from smoother ride quality and more advanced in-car tech than the aging Durango.

Our Verdict

Average

7.6

out of 10

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7.5/10

How does the Durango drive? The V6 engine can seem a bit taxed in such a large vehicle, especially when you've got a full load of passengers aboard. Acceleration is considerably more robust with one of the available V8 engines. The Durango's other dynamic attributes, for better and worse, are more truck-like than its crossover competitors. The Durango feels even bigger than it is when driven around corners due to its slow steering and minimal tire grip. It's a large, lumbering vehicle and drives like it.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the Durango? The seats in the Durango for all positions are roomy and comfortable. The first and second rows offer a good amount of legroom, while the third row can easily hold larger kids. The climate control works well with adequate airflow for all three rows. Over bumps, the Durango rides pretty smoothly, though you'll always have the feeling that you're driving big, heavy SUV.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? The interior is airy and you can see well out of it, but the front and rear pillars can obstruct some visibility in tighter situations. The cabin is straightforward and user-friendly, and the interface for controls is simple to understand and find. Getting in and out of all seating positions, even the third row, is also fairly simple.

Drivers of nearly any size should be able to find a comfortable seating position thanks to the numerous seat and steering wheel adjustments.

Build & Price

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? The Uconnect 4C interface on the 8.4-inch screen, while feeling a bit dated, is user-friendly and syncs up well with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration systems. The available 10.1-inch screen is more up-to-date. There are plenty of USB and 12-volt charging options for passengers in all positions. Driver aids such as adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assistance are useful, but they are typically optional on the Durango. The upgraded Harman Kardon audio system sounds great and is worth getting.

Storage

8/10

How’s the storage? Even with performance as the top priority, the Durango SRT manages to be practical and flexible like an SUV should be. There's 85.1 cubic feet of space with all the seats folded, which places it slightly above the middle of this class. Small-item storage is exactly what you want in a three-row SUV with enough cubbies and cupholders for all passengers. But the party trick for this Durango might be its excellent 8,700-pound tow rating when properly equipped.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

5.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? Here's a formula for you: SRT = bad mpg. That's just the way it goes. The Durango SRT is rated to get an EPA-estimated 15 mpg in combined driving (13 city/19 highway). On our 120-mile evaluation route, we were able to get 15.5 mpg, indicating that the EPA's estimates are at least realistic. The best fuel economy you can get is a rear-wheel-drive Durango with the V6, which gets 21 mpg combined. That's a lot better but still a tad below rival V6-equipped SUVs.

Value

6.5/10

Is the Durango a good value? What do you want in your SUV? That's what you'll have to ask yourself to define value. If you want luxury and comfort, look elsewhere because that is not what this SUV is about. The interior looks and feels a bit low-buck. But you certainly get your money's worth in performance. Dodge lines up with the rest of the class in warranty and roadside assistance coverage.

Wildcard

9/10

The Durango SRT is a burly, powerful SUV that looks and sounds the part. It's upfront, in-your-face, and shouts at you like a drill sergeant. It doesn't handle all that well but doesn't feel like it loses a step when it's fully loaded with people. Day to day, it's really more fun than an SUV has a right to be.

If you're into making a scene as you arrive and leave, this is the SUV for you. The looks and exhaust note will turn heads. Though it might have more attitude than sense, we can definitely see the appeal.

Which Durango does Edmunds recommend?

Get the R/T trim level. It slots right in the middle of the lineup as a performance-oriented model and comes with a V8 engine, a sport-tuned suspension, a large touchscreen and an upgraded audio system.

2022 Dodge Durango R/T 4dr SUV AWD (5.7L 8cyl 8A)

I researched vehicles for about a year (looking at 2-door coupes right up to full-size trucks, because I couldn't decide what I needed!) before finally deciding on a Durango, and placing an order for a 2022 R/T Tow-and-Go. I've had it for about four months now, and I am incredibly happy with my choice. Every time I get in the Durango, every time I smash the pedal to the floor, every time …
