2025 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Silver Bullet

Price Range: $113,325

Poor

The 2025 Dodge Durango is certainly a muscular SUV. Acceleration is strong with either of the Durango's available V8s, and towing capability is robust. But this three-row SUV also suffers from poor mpg, a dated design and a lack of helpful advanced technology features.Read full review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Dan Frio

2/20/2026

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.

4.9

out of 10

We drove the 2025 Dodge Durango on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

3.8/10

How does the Dodge Durango drive? The Durango's standard 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. In terms of other dynamic attributes, for better and worse, the Durango is 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. Even though the ride is fairly comfortable, the Durango drives like the large, lumbering vehicle it is.

The Durango's age — it was last redesigned in 2011 — has pros and cons. This car was designed before rearview cameras were standard equipment, which means outward visibility had to be pretty good unassisted. And it is; the Durango has good sightlines all around.

But the age is apparent in the tech on offer. The rearview camera image is exceptionally muddy, and there's no 360-degree camera option. There are actually very few advanced driving aids at all, and those that exist are locked behind pricey trim level upgrades. If you want modern features, look elsewhere.

Comfort

5.9/10

2025 dodge durango srt hellcat silver bullet

How comfortable is the Dodge Durango? Up front, a wide center console makes the seating position feel narrow, but there's plenty of headroom for taller passengers. Things are a bit better in the back and even the third row, which can accommodate adults of average height. Car seats should fit easily into the second row, and booster seats could be accommodated in the third row.

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. The climate control works well with adequate airflow for all three rows.

In-cabin tech

5.6/10

How’s the tech? Dodge has updated the Durango's tech interface over the years, and in terms of functionality, Uconnect 5 still works really well. The menus are easy to sort through and often-used functions are usually only a couple of clicks away. On the downside, the interface isn't especially pretty to look at, and the 10.1-inch screen isn't big by today's standards.

There are a good number of USB charging options, but newer rivals have enough ports to power more than just phones. And the Durango is lacking when it comes to in-cabin tech. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto require a wired connection, and there's no phone-as-a-key function.

Storage & cargo

6.3/10

How’s storage and cargo? Even with performance as its focus (the top-dog SRT Hellcat makes 710 horsepower!), the Durango 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 standard 6,200-pound tow rating — most rivals max out at 5,000 pounds. And the Hellcat can tow up to 8,700 pounds.

Value

3.6/10

Is the Dodge 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-rent. And while the pricing of V6 versions is in line with other midsize three-row crossovers, you get fewer features for the money. Unless you're considering one of the performance-oriented V8 models, which enjoy no direct competition in the non-luxury class, it's hard to justify the purchase of the V6 Durango over any one of its newer — and, frankly, better — rivals.

MPG

3/10

How’s the fuel economy? The Dodge Durango V6 AWD earns a fuel economy rating of 20 mpg combined (17 city/24 highway) according to the EPA. This is typical for vehicles in this class powered by V6 engines; options like the Toyota Highlander and Ford Explorer, which instead employ turbocharged four-cylinders, are more efficient. This class also includes a handful of hybrids, which consume far less fuel.

X factor

5/10

The Durango leads the midsize three-row crossover segment in terms of towing ability, and the V8 options offer spicy performance that is unrivaled in this class. They are expensive — especially the bonkers Hellcat — but if you just want a quick family hauler, the Durango is a lot cheaper than a V8 Mercedes or BMW alternative. Buyers considering the more typical V6 versions will likely be disappointed by the Durango's arrested development.
