The 2026 Dodge Durango has four engine choices. The first is a 3.6-liter V6 with 295 horsepower. Moving up to the 5.7-liter HEMI V8 gets you 360 horsepower. The 6.4-liter SRT HEMI V8 sends out 475 horsepower. If you want the most muscle, the supercharged 6.2-liter V8 produces 710 horsepower and runs through a heavy-duty 8-speed automatic transmission.
Each Durango trim uses an 8-speed automatic with sequential shift control. Steering wheel controls let you take over shifting when you want to. Driver-selectable modes change how the SUV reacts. Louisiana roads get slick sometimes, but full-time all-wheel drive (AWD) helps maintain traction. Some trims also include an electro-mechanical limited-slip differential and sport-tuned adaptive suspension.
Stopping matters just as much as going. The Durango has 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS, vented discs, and hill hold control. Driveline traction control adds stability during acceleration.
