- The 2026 Dodge Durango is the only midsize SUV on the market to offer a HEMI V8 engine as standard across every trim.
- With three engine options, class-leading towing capacity, and a 0-to-60 time of 3.5 seconds, the 2026 Durango leads its segment in raw performance.
- The 2026 Dodge Durango offers a wide range of interior materials, technology, and customization options to suit nearly any buyer.
If you’ve ever wished your family hauler could double as a muscle car, the 2026 Dodge Durango was made for you. This three-row SUV doesn’t just tolerate performance. It’s built around it.
The headline news for the 2026 Durango is the retirement of the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 from the consumer lineup. It’s replaced by the 5.7-liter HEMI V8 as the new entry-level engine. This makes the 2026 Dodge Durango the only midsize SUV on the market where every trim comes standard with HEMI V8 power. The lineup spans six trim levels, each with its own personality and power level.
2026 Dodge Durango Overview
The 2026 Dodge Durango is a midsize, three-row SUV that carries the unmistakable DNA of Dodge’s muscle car heritage into a practical, family-ready package. Now in its extended third generation, the 2026 Durango has been continuously refined to meet modern expectations.
On the outside, the 2026 Durango is all muscle: a wide stance, chiseled hood, LED Racetrack Taillights, and available performance hoods/spoilers. New for 2026, B5 Blue joins the exterior color palette, and Green Machine debuts exclusively on the Hellcat Jailbreak. The broader color lineup includes White Knuckle, Destroyer Gray, Diamond Black, Pitch Black, Octane Red, and Vapor Gray, with additional Jailbreak-exclusive shades available for buyers seeking something truly unique.
Distinct V8 Engines Up The Performance Ante
The 2026 Dodge Durango is offered with three distinct V8 engines, all paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The base 5.7-liter HEMI V8 produces 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque. With the Tow ‘n Go Package, the GT can pull up to 8,700 pounds, a class-leading figure that no direct competitor matches.
Step up to the R/T and you get the 6.4-liter HEMI V8 with 475 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. It’s paired with AWD as standard, Bilstein Active-Damping suspension, and six-piston Brembo brakes.
At the top of the heap sits the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 in the SRT Hellcat and Hellcat Jailbreak, producing a staggering 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque.
V8 Lineup MPGs
The 2026 Dodge Durango all-V8 lineup comes with an honest trade-off: these engines prioritize power over frugality.
- GT with rear-wheel drive earns an EPA-estimated 14 city / 22 highway / 17 combined MPG.
- AWD version comes in at 14 city / 21 highway / 17 combined.
- R/T comes in around 13 to 14 city / 19 to 20 highway on premium fuel.
- SRT Hellcat rates at approximately 12 city / 17 highway / 13 combined, also requiring premium.
Fastest SUV Ever
The 2026 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat is one of the fastest production SUVs ever built. Dodge rates it at 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds courtesy of the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8’s 710 horsepower.
GT and R/T trims offer considerably more modest straight-line performance, but both still feel noticeably more energetic than the average family crossover, particularly during highway merges and passing maneuvers where the V8’s torque is immediately on call.
Dodge Durango Interior
Dodge offers over 50 seating configuration options across the 2026 Durango lineup, and the three-row layout accommodates up to seven passengers. Seating materials scale with the trim level. The base GT is fitted with cloth upholstery and heated front seats. The GT Plus steps up to genuine leather, ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, and driver memory settings.
Higher trims move into Nappa leather territory, and the SRT Hellcat and Hellcat Jailbreak offer premium Laguna leather with Alcantara suede accents in colors such as Black, Hammerhead Gray, Sepia, Demonic Red, and Ebony Red. The available Blacktop Redline package adds red accent stitching and laser-etched Crypto Sweep interior inlays for a more distinctive look.
The SRT Hellcat Jailbreak deserves its own mention here. Dodge’s Jailbreak customization program unlocks over six million unique configuration combinations. This allows buyers to personalize exterior paint, badge finishes, wheel styles, Brembo brake caliper colors, dual racing stripes, seat materials and colors, and even seat belt colors.
Cargo space is genuinely impressive. Behind the third row you have 17.2 cubic feet, which grows to 43.3 with the third row folded and expands to a cavernous 85.1 cubic feet with all rear seats flat.
Comfort amenities across the Durango lineup include:
- Tri-Sone Automatic Climate Control
- Power Liftgate
- Available Heated and Power-Adjustable Steering Wheel
Uconnect 5 Technology
The 2026 Durango is built around Dodge’s Uconnect 5 infotainment system, centered on a standard 10.1-inch touchscreen. The platform is widely praised for being fast and intuitive, with a minimal learning curve compared to the more complex touchscreen systems. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard across the lineup, along with Bluetooth, four USB ports, and SiriusXM with 360L.
