2020 Dodge Durango Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Large touchscreen tech interface is one of the best in class
Strong V8 power provides exceptional towing ability
Has real off-road capabilities with 4WD and low-range gearing

ConsWhat's new

Dodge mostly grabs headlines these days for its drag-strip-destroying Challenger and Charger muscle cars. So maybe it won't come as a surprise that the Durango is essentially the muscle car of the three-row crossover-SUV class. You won't find a four-cylinder engine or a fuel-sipping hybrid setup here. Instead, Dodge makes a V6 standard and then offers one of two strong V8 engines as optional upgrades.

Thankfully, the Durango doesn't skimp on SUV utility in favor of straight-line performance. The V8s offer class-leading towing capacity and, if you opt for four-wheel drive, a low-range gearbox for more capability for off-road work or extra traction on boat ramps. You also get a good amount of space for up to seven passengers thanks to the Durango's large overall dimensions.

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 Durango's platform is both old and heavy. That means real-world maneuverability and fuel economy both take a hit, and the weight hurts acceleration with the V6 engine. The interior packaging also isn't as clever or efficient as in other three-row competitors.

While the Durango has some definite strengths, its no-replacement-for-displacement approach to everything does makes it a blunt instrument that isn't necessarily well-suited to the needs of most three-row crossover shoppers. For the right buyer, though, nothing else in the segment will offer such robust power and towing.

Which Durango does Edmunds recommend?

The V6 engine is a bit outmatched in a vehicle this heavy, so we'd go with the R/T trim to unlock both the extra oomph and the extra towing capacity. You do give up fuel economy, but if that's your top concern you probably shouldn't be shopping for a Durango anyway.

Dodge Durango models

The 2020 Dodge Durango is a three-row crossover SUV available in five trim levels: SXT, GT, Citadel, R/T and SRT.

All Durango models except the SRT use rear-wheel drive and offer optional all-wheel drive. The SRT is only available with all-wheel drive. Seven-passenger seating is standard in the SXT, the GT and the R/T. Second-row captain's chairs (reducing capacity to six) are standard on the Citadel and the SRT and optional on all others. If you need to prioritize cargo over passengers, you can order the base SXT with just two rows of seats, or you can order the Lightweight Performance package on the SRT that also removes the third row.

The base SXT comes standard with a 3.6-liter V6 engine (295 hp, 260 lb-ft of torque) paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Even in base trim, the Durango is a competent family hauler. You get features such as push-button start, three-zone climate control, power-folding third-row headrests, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Load-leveling rear suspension is also standard. And properly equipped, the base SXT can still tow up to 6,200 pounds, beating out competitive midsize three-row crossovers.

The GT adds some value with conveniences such as remote ignition, a power liftgate, a power driver's seat, 115-volt power outlet and satellite radio. It also has a more aggressive appearance thanks to trim bits borrowed from the R/T and the SRT, along with 20-inch alloy wheels.

The Citadel trim gives you luxury features while saving you money by coming standard with the base powertrain. (It can be upgraded with the R/T's V8, though.) You get leather and vinyl upholstery, heated front and second-row seats, an 8.4-inch touchscreen with navigation, and a nine-speaker stereo with a subwoofer, among other features.

The R/T is a more performance-oriented trim with its lower ride height and upgraded brakes. It also comes standard with a 5.7-liter V8 engine (360 hp, 390 lb-ft), allowing for a max towing capacity of 7,400 pounds when properly equipped. Low-range gearing is also included with the optional all-wheel-drive system. Overall, it looks and drives much more aggressively.

But for raw on-road power, nothing beats the high-performance SRT, with mechanical upgrades all around, such as a 6.4-liter V8 engine (475 hp, 470 lb-ft), an electronic limited-slip differential, Brembo brakes, and performance-tuned suspension. You also get upgraded leather, simulated-suede upholstery and ventilated front seats. With the towing package, the SRT can tow up to 8,700 pounds.

If you'd like to customize your Durango's content, many of the higher-trim features are available as optional extras on lower trims. There are also quite a few appearance package options for various trim levels for further customization. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are optional on every trim level. And more advanced driver aids such as adaptive cruise control are available from the Citadel and up.

SRT 4dr SUV AWD (6.4L 8cyl 8A)

I am very disappointed at the fact my 2020 Dodge Durango did not come with a user manual. I understand you can find everything online but in most emergency situations either your phone is dead and there’s no cell service. I don’t think I should have to buy one considering I bought it brand new. Other than that, I LOVE that freaking vehicle!!!!

2020 Dodge Durango video

2018 Dodge Durango SRT First Look

CALVIN KIM: We're here at the 2017 Chicago Auto Show and behind me is the 2018 Dodge Durango SRT. And what's unique about this car is that while most manufacturers are building their SUVs to be more fuel efficient and eco-friendly with hybrids and whatnot, this one's not. In fact, it's got a gigantic V8 that puts out 475 horsepower and 470 pounds feet of torque. The fascias are different. The front fascia and the roof fascia, they're a lot more aggressive, bigger wheels, 20-inch wheels, and most importantly, bigger brakes. What's particularly cool about this is because it's an SRT, Dodge has framed it more for the driving enthusiast. It's got an adjustable all-wheel drive system. There's seven drive modes that you can select from inside the car and that adjusts things like how the transmission shifts and how the throttle pedal-- how reactive it is-- and how much power goes to the front or rear wheels through the all-wheel drive system. There's a track mode and even a launch control. On the inside, you've got a SRT specific leather interior with SRT team emblazoned all over the place. Dodge says it can do 0 to 60 in 4.4 seconds, which we think is a pretty ridiculous thing for a three-row, six-seater to be able to do. The nature of the car would do the job correctly. They put a different hood on it that has heating circulants-- [VEHICLE ACCELERATING] And we think that's kind of like what it's going to sound like, so we're really looking forward to that. Anyway, going back to the hood. There is heat [? extractors ?] on the side and a cold-air intake in the center so that the engine always has nice, cool air to breathe. Overall, we're super excited that somebody decided to kind of get into the performance SUV segment. The more players the better, we say, just because it's fun and it's so practical. We're not quite sure when it's going to go on sale, but you can guarantee that when it is, we'll get one to test. [MUSIC PLAYING]

Dodge Durango vs. Ford Explorer

The Ford Explorer has benefitted from a complete redesign for 2020. We expect that it will provide a better ride and handle better than the Durango. The new Explorer also has a wide range of engine options that includes a four-cylinder engine, a V6 hybrid and a 400-hp twin-turbo V6.

Dodge Durango vs. Chevrolet Traverse

The Traverse is Chevy's biggest three-row crossover SUV. While it generates less power than high-trim Durango models, it's lighter and handles better on the road. It's also spacious, with plenty of third-row room. In the Durango's favor are its bolder style and greater towing capacity.

Compare Dodge Durango & Chevrolet Traverse features

Dodge Durango vs. Dodge Journey

The Dodge Journey is the brand's budget-minded three-row SUV. It's smaller than the Durango inside and out and offers much less power and excitement. The Journey also suffers from a poor ride and lackluster handling. Its only worthwhile advantage over the Durango is its lower price tag.

Should I lease or buy a 2020 Dodge Durango?

Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
