2027 Durango: Three-Row Utility With Muscle

V8 Power Meets Versatility in the 2027 Dodge Durango

The 2027 Dodge Durango is a performance-focused SUV for drivers who want passenger and cargo flexibility without trading away the sound, response, and attitude of a HEMI® V8. It brings together available three-row seating, all-wheel drive, and towing capability in a lineup that ranges from the 360-horsepower GT HEMI to the 710-horsepower SRT Hellcat. It gives Punta Gorda shoppers one SUV for household duty, towing, and engaging driving.

Gettel Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM shoppers can compare eight trims: GT HEMI, GT HEMI Plus, GT HEMI Premium, R/T 392, R/T 392 Plus, R/T 392 Premium, SRT Hellcat, and SRT Hellcat Jailbreak. Every trim uses V8 power and all-wheel drive. New or expanded 2027 choices include the GT HEMI Brass Monkey package, more R/T 392 customization, and millions of possible Jailbreak combinations.

Interior

Depending on the trim and seating configuration, the Durango can accommodate five, six, or seven people. Its cabin supports carpools, group travel, and weekend cargo duty, while performance-oriented details keep it from feeling like an ordinary family hauler.

Interior Dimensions

• Front/second-/third-row legroom: 40.3/38.6/33.5 inches
• Front/second-/third-row headroom: 39.9/39.8/37.8 inches
• Cargo volume: 17.2 cubic feet behind the third row
• Cargo volume: 43.3 cubic feet behind the second row
• Maximum cargo volume: 85.1 cubic feet behind the front seats

The second row provides useful passenger room, while the foldable rear seating opens space for luggage, sports equipment, or a larger shopping run. Families can keep the third row up for passengers or fold seats as the day’s mix of people and gear changes.

Interior Highlights

• Available Nappa leather-trimmed seating on Plus packages
• Available heated first- and second-row seats and ventilated front seats
• Available power front seats with four-way lumbar adjustment
• Available driver-seat, radio, and exterior-mirror memory
• Available suede headliner and forged carbon-fiber accents on Premium packages

The GT HEMI starts with a seven-passenger, driver-focused layout, while upper packages add richer materials and comfort equipment. Performance models layer in supportive seating and a flat-bottom steering wheel, reinforcing that the Durango is meant to engage its driver as well as carry a crew.

Exterior

The Durango’s long hood, planted stance, performance fascias, and available stripe treatments make its priorities visible. Practical details remain part of the shape, including a rear liftgate, available roof rails, and a load floor positioned for everyday cargo access.

Exterior Dimensions

• Wheelbase: 119.8 inches
• Overall length: 200.8 inches for GT HEMI and R/T 392; 201 inches for SRT Hellcat
• Body width: 75.8 inches for GT HEMI; 76.4 inches for R/T 392 and SRT Hellcat
• Overall height: 72.1 inches
• Ground clearance: 7.8 inches for GT HEMI; 8 inches for R/T 392, SRT Hellcat, and GT HEMI with Tow N Go
• Turning diameter: 41 feet

These proportions create useful passenger and cargo room. A test drive can help shoppers evaluate garage fit, maneuverability, and visibility.

Exterior Highlights

• 20-inch aluminum wheels across the lineup, with 8- or 10-inch widths depending on configuration
• Available Blacktop, Blacktop Redline, Brass Monkey, and Tow N Go treatments
• Performance hood and model-specific fender badging
• Available power-folding mirrors and black roof rails with integrated Stow ’n Place crossbars
• SRT Hellcat lower front splitter, rear spoiler, and model-specific badging

The appearance packages let buyers move from clean and understated to more overtly aggressive. Wider wheels and performance body details on R/T 392 and SRT Hellcat models also visually communicate their added capability.

Exterior Paint Options

• Pitch Black
• B5 Blue
• Destroyer Gray
• Green Machine
• Night Moves
• Red Oxide
• White Knuckle

Pitch Black is new for 2027 and is available across the Durango lineup. SRT Hellcat Jailbreak adds extensive personalization choices for badging, wheels, seats, seat belts, and brake calipers.

Performance

The 2027 Durango lineup makes performance the main attraction. Three HEMI V8 engines let buyers choose between strong everyday response, sharper R/T 392 acceleration, and supercharged SRT Hellcat output.

Engines and Powertrains

• GT HEMI: 5.7-liter HEMI V8 with 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque
• R/T 392: 6.4-liter HEMI V8 with 475 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque
• SRT Hellcat: Supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 with an estimated 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque

Dodge estimates 0-to-60-mph times of 6.2 seconds for GT HEMI, 4.4 seconds for R/T 392, and 3.5 seconds for SRT Hellcat. Those figures place each model on a clear performance step, from confident merging and passing to acceleration normally associated with dedicated performance vehicles.

Transmission and Drivetrain

• Eight-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission
• Steering-wheel paddle shifters
• Full-time all-wheel drive
• Selectable drive modes, with mode availability varying by trim
• Performance-tuned AWD with Auto, Sport, Track, Snow, Tow, and Custom modes on R/T 392 and SRT Hellcat

The AWD systems can vary torque distribution for traction and responsiveness. Snow and Tow settings support controlled driving, while Sport and Track settings send more torque rearward for a more performance-oriented feel.

Towing and Capability

• GT HEMI: Up to 7,200 pounds with the required towing equipment
• GT HEMI with Tow N Go: Up to 8,700 pounds
• R/T 392 and SRT Hellcat: Up to 8,700 pounds with the required towing equipment
• Estimated payload: 1,350 pounds for GT HEMI, 1,401 pounds for R/T 392, and 1,590 pounds for SRT Hellcat

When properly equipped, the Durango can support many boats, campers, powersports trailers, and utility trailers within their loaded weight limits. Buyers should match the exact vehicle, hitch equipment, passengers, cargo, and trailer to the applicable limits rather than treating the maximum rating as universal.

Driving Experience

GT HEMI models use an independent front and multi-link rear suspension. Tow N Go, R/T 392, and SRT Hellcat configurations add SRT-tuned suspension hardware with Bilstein adaptive damping. Available Brembo® braking systems pair six-piston front calipers with four-piston rear calipers on performance configurations.

The result is a spectrum of muscle-SUV behavior. GT HEMI emphasizes accessible V8 response and everyday usability, R/T 392 adds a meaningful jump in speed and control, and SRT Hellcat turns the three-row formula into a 710-horsepower statement.

Technology

Durango technology balances familiar daily functions with performance data. The Uconnect® 5 system uses a 10.1-inch touchscreen, while available audio, connected features, and model-specific Performance Pages give the cabin a modern command center.

Displays and Infotainment

• Performance Pages for real-time vehicle data
• SRT Performance Pages on R/T 392 and SRT Hellcat
• Alpine® nine-speaker premium audio system with subwoofer
• Available Harman Kardon® 19-speaker system with an 825-watt amplifier

Performance Pages can surface information tied to acceleration, power delivery, and vehicle settings, making the interface part of the driving experience rather than only a media screen.

Connectivity and Convenience

• Wireless smartphone integration
• Multiple driver profiles through Uconnect 5
• Available adaptive cruise control with stop
• Available automatic high-beam control
• Available power sunroof and power-folding mirrors

These features support the ordinary side of ownership, commuting, navigation, entertainment, and shared-driver preferences, while the performance menus make it easier to tailor how the SUV responds.

Safety

The Durango combines core braking and stability systems with available driver-assistance technology. These features support awareness and control, not an attentive driver.

Driver-Assistance Technology

• Available Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop
• Available Lane Departure Warning Plus
• Available Forward-Collision Warning and Advanced Brake Assist
• Available Blind-Spot Monitoring with trailer-aware coverage

Availability varies by trim and package. The systems can help monitor following distance, lane position, cross-traffic, and selected areas around a properly configured trailer.

Parking, Visibility, and Vehicle Safety

• Four-wheel anti-lock brakes
• Electronic Stability Control
• All-speed traction control
• Brake Assist
• Available automatic high beams
• Performance Brembo brakes on R/T 392 and SRT Hellcat and with the GT HEMI Tow N Go package

Stability, traction, and brake-assistance systems work in the background to support control during acceleration, cornering, and emergency braking. Parking and visibility equipment varies, so shoppers should verify the exact feature set on the trim they are considering.
