What’s New for 2026?
The 2026 Dodge Durango now comes exclusively with a V-8 engine, though V-6 models are still available for a limited time and for fleet customers. There is also a new Blacktop Redline package available for the R/T trim.
Engine and Transmission
The 2026 Dodge Durango lineup ditches the V-6, embracing a trio of HEMI V-8s. The GT packs a 5.7-liter V8 with 360 hp and 390 lb-ft, while the R/T boasts a 6.4-liter V8 that pushes out 475 hp and 470 lb-ft. For thrill-seekers, the SRT Hellcat unleashes 710 hp from its supercharged 6.2-liter V8. Paired with an 8-speed automatic, the Durango blends muscle-car swagger with family-friendly comfort and can tow up to 8,700 pounds when properly equipped.
Fuel Economy
Fuel economy for the 2026 Dodge Durango varies by engine. The 3.6-liter V6 is rated at 18 mpg in city driving and 25 mpg on the highway. Opting for the 5.7-liter V8 drops those numbers to 14 mpg city and 22 mpg highway. These EPA estimates may shift depending on driving style, road conditions, and vehicle configuration.
Interior and Tech
Inside, the 2026 Dodge Durango blends muscle-car attitude with modern comfort. Its cabin features a standard 10.1-inch Uconnect touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and optional audio setups ranging from a basic 6-speaker system to a premium 20-speaker Harman/Kardon unit. Front-row ergonomics are solid, while the second row offers a standard bench or optional captain’s chairs. Though third-row access is tight, cargo space impresses—holding up to 30 carry-ons with seats folded.
