2027 Dodge Durango Feature Review

2027 Dodge Durango: A Performance SUV With Room for Real Life

The 2027 Dodge Durango brings V8 muscle to an SUV built for passengers, cargo, and towing. From the GT HEMI to the R/T 392 and supercharged SRT Hellcat, the lineup gives Augusta drivers a choice of performance levels without giving up everyday utility. At Milton Ruben Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM, you can explore the seating layouts, equipment, and styling that fit your priorities.

For 2027, the GT HEMI offers a Brass Monkey appearance package, the R/T 392 adds a Plus model, and the SRT Hellcat Jailbreak expands its personalization choices. Each takes a different approach to the same idea: a capable SUV with a distinctly Dodge attitude.

Interior Space and Features

The Durango’s driver-focused cabin pairs performance-inspired details with flexible room for people and gear. Seating varies by configuration: the GT HEMI offers seven-passenger seating, while the SRT Hellcat comes with five seats and offers additional seating configurations. Check the individual vehicle if a third row or a particular second-row arrangement is important to you.

• Front, second-row, and third-row legroom: 40.3, 38.6, and 33.5 inches, respectively, when equipped with a third row.
• Cargo space behind the third row: 17.2 cubic feet.
• Cargo space behind the second row: 43.3 cubic feet.
• Maximum cargo space behind the front seats: 85.1 cubic feet with the rear rows folded.

Heated front seats are standard. The GT HEMI Plus and R/T 392 Plus add Nappa leather-trimmed seating, ventilated front seats, and heated second-row seats. Available second-row captain’s chairs change the passenger layout, while the SRT Hellcat brings Nappa leather and Alcantara seating and a flat-bottom performance steering wheel. Choose the combination that balances your passenger count with comfort on longer drives.

Exterior Design and Colors

A performance hood and HEMI fender badging give the GT HEMI a purposeful look; the R/T 392 adds 392 badging and 20-inch forged wheels. The available Brass Monkey package brings a bronze-toned wheel finish to the GT HEMI, while the available Blacktop Redline package gives eligible models a darker, more assertive appearance. The SRT Hellcat adds its own badging, lower front splitter, and rear spoiler.

The GT HEMI and R/T 392 measure 200.8 inches long, with a 119.8-inch wheelbase. Available roof rails with integrated Stow ’n Place crossbars give select configurations another way to carry gear. Wheel, roof, and appearance features depend on the model and package.

2027 exterior colors include, depending on availability:

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

HEMI Power, Handling, and Towing

Every Durango powertrain in the 2027 lineup is a HEMI V8, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The GT HEMI’s 5.7-liter engine makes 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque. Step up to the R/T 392 for a 6.4-liter V8 with 475 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, or choose the SRT Hellcat’s supercharged 6.2-liter V8 for 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque. All-wheel drive is part of the lineup’s performance-and-traction formula.

Beyond engine output, the Durango lineup offers performance features and fuel requirements worth considering:

• Performance hardware: The R/T 392 and SRT Hellcat add adaptive damping and Brembo brakes.
• Selectable drive modes: Tailor the vehicle to the drive, with mode availability varying by model.
• GT HEMI fuel: Accepts 87-octane gasoline, with 89 recommended.
• R/T 392 and SRT Hellcat fuel: Requires 91-octane premium gasoline.

When properly equipped, the Durango can tow up to 8,700 pounds. The GT HEMI reaches that maximum with the available Tow ’n Go package; towing capability depends on the vehicle’s equipment and loading. That flexibility makes it worth comparing a specific Durango’s rating with the trailer and gear you plan to bring.

Technology That Keeps the Drive Connected

The Uconnect 5 system centers the Durango’s technology around a 10.1-inch touchscreen, giving the driver a convenient place to manage entertainment, connectivity, and vehicle settings.

• Wireless Apple CarPlay: Access compatible iPhone apps through the touchscreen.
• Wireless Android Auto: Bring compatible Android phone apps into the driving interface.
• Driver profiles: Save settings for up to five users.
• Performance Pages: View performance information on equipped models.
• Available navigation: Use integrated route guidance on select configurations.

The GT HEMI and R/T 392 include an Alpine nine-speaker system with a subwoofer. A Harman Kardon 19-speaker system is offered on select higher-equipped models, giving music-focused shoppers an upgrade to consider.

Safety and Driver Assistance

The Durango offers assistance features that support the driver in traffic, on the highway, and while maneuvering. Equipment depends on the trim and packages selected, so compare the features on the specific SUV you are considering.

• Available adaptive cruise control with stop: Helps manage a set following distance in changing traffic.
• Available forward-collision warning: Alerts the driver to a potential frontal collision.
• Available lane-departure warning: Helps draw attention to an unintended lane departure.
• Available blind-spot monitoring: Helps detect vehicles in adjacent blind spots; trailer-aware capability is available.
• Available Advanced Brake Assist: Adds braking assistance in certain emergencies.

A 2027 security enhancement also helps minimize unauthorized key pairing and key-fob duplication. It is a separate layer of vehicle security alongside the driver-assistance equipment.
