2020 Dodge Durango Mt Airy MD

What sets the Durango apart in terms of performance compared to other SUVs in its class?

Coming standard with the majority of Durango models is a solid 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine that is capable of pushing out 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. This is a decent starting point for the Durango, offering a sufficiently powerful acceleration potential and best-in-class V6 towing capacity of 6,400 lbs of weight! If you are looking for more power, Dodge has you covered with a pair of V8 engines that are ready to knock your socks off; with the R/T and optional with the Citadel trim you will find a 5.7-liter HEMI V8 (360 hp, 390 lb-ft) and with the track-ready SRT trim model a massive 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine (475 hp, 470 lb-ft). The SRT trim especially pushes the capabilities of an SUV to their respective limit, offering a blazing 4.4 second 0-60 mph acceleration period and immense best-in-class 8,700 lbs max tow capacity rating. Each Durango comes standard with an eight-speed automatic transmission and a choice between 4x4 and 4x2 drive configurations.

What are the different trim models offered with the 2020 Durango?

The Durango comes outfitted with one of 5 different core feature kits based on the trim model selected as well as offering a number of optional packages with each trim. The base Durango SXT trim sets the stage with a starting set of features included with each other trim model; some of our highlight features worked into the SXT trim include automatic headlights with fog lamps added on, variable/intermittent windshield wipers, three-zone automatic climate control, split-folding 2nd and 3rd-row seating, and a Uconnect 4 infotainment system that comes on a 7-inch touchscreen and comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Durango GT work in even more features, such as larger 20-inch wheels, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a one-year subscription to SiriusXM radio, and more! The R/T trim model works off of the GT feature list, adding in a high-powered V8 engine as well as cargo-area scuff plates, power-adjustable seats with memory settings, automatic high beams, heated first and second-row seats, a leather interior upholstery set, a convenient 115-volt power outlet, and a larger 8.4-inch touchscreen. The Citadel trim model rounds out the features further, adding in extra storage compartments in the 2nd row as well as a mini-console, a power express sunroof, a Capri leather interior upholstery, and exterior/interior design accents unique to the trim. The SRT trim takes the feature list from the Citadel trim and adds on a massive V8 engine with performance-tuned suspension, transfer case, and other tuned powertrain systems to optimize the performance of the Durango.

What sort of key safety features are worked into each model?

The Durango comes outfitted with over 60 safety and security features that are offered throughout the trim models. Looking at the standard kit, there are a large number of advanced features, including a multistage airbag system with supplement airbags spread throughout the interior, electronic stability control that includes roll mitigation and traction control support, hill-start assist, and a ParkView rear backup camera housed in the touchscreen display. Dodge also offers a number of driver-assist features such as blind-spot monitoring with rear cross path detection, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and a rear park assist system.
