Overview
With its robust and assertive demeanor, the 2024 Dodge Durango stands out in the crowded field of midsize 3-row SUVs. While many of its competitors lean towards a more minivan-like appearance, the Durango proudly embraces its heritage as a true SUV. Dodge’s flagship model prioritizes performance, towing capacity, and ruggedness, setting it apart from the crowd. Boasting a lineup of potent V8 engines, the Durango delivers exceptional power and towing prowess, making it a formidable choice for adventurous endeavors. Despite its formidable persona, the Durango doesn’t compromise on comfort, offering ample space for family outings and everyday errands. While it may not carry the same family-friendly reputation as some of its counterparts, such as the Kia Telluride or Honda Pilot, the Dodge Durango remains a versatile and capable companion, whether towing a trailer or navigating city streets.
What’s New for 2024?
In a nod to its muscle car counterparts, the Dodge Durango introduces Last Call editions, mirroring the send-off tradition seen in the Charger and Challenger models. These special editions mark the end of an era for the Durango as the final production model powered by Hemi V8 engines. The first Last Call edition, the SRT 392 AlcHEMI, is primarily an appearance package for the SRT 392 trim, with only 1,000 units slated for production. While more Last Call editions are anticipated, Dodge has adopted a unique allocation system through its dealerships rather than allowing direct orders. Meanwhile, in a move aimed at enhancing safety, blind-spot monitoring is now a standard feature across the Durango lineup for 2024. Notably, this system is optimized to detect trailers, aligning with the Durango’s towing capabilities. As speculation looms over the Durango’s fate, rumors suggest that its successor may revive the Stealth nameplate, hinting at an exciting evolution in the Dodge SUV lineup.
2024 Dodge Durango Models and Pricing
The 2024 Dodge Durango kicks off its lineup with the SXT trim, priced at $41,670, offering an enticing entry point into the range. With a total of six core trim levels available, the lineup culminates in the high-performance Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat, commanding a premium price of $95,995. Notably, all-wheel drive comes as standard on the SRT 392 and SRT Hellcat trims, while it’s available as a $2,000 option on the lower trims. For those eyeing a Durango, the GT trim stands out as a compelling choice, boasting a well-equipped package and a V6 engine that delivers ample power to meet the needs of most midsize SUV drivers.

3-Row Cabin
The interior of the 2024 Dodge Durango impresses with its spaciousness and practical layout. While the third row may feel a bit cramped for adults with 33.5 inches of legroom, it’s on par with competitors like the Honda Pilot and the Chevy Traverse.
However, the first two rows offer ample space, ensuring comfort for passengers. With above-average cargo room for its class, the Durango adds to its practicality, providing comparable cargo space behind the third row to the Subaru Ascent, albeit slightly less than the Kia Telluride.
The availability of second-row captain’s chairs enhances comfort and accessibility to the third row, with standard inclusion on the SRT 392 and SRT Hellcat models and optional on lower trims.
Although the Durango’s interior design may feel a tad dated compared to more contemporary rivals like the Hyundai Palisade and Honda Pilot, it can be upgraded with features such as Nappa leather seating and a Harman Kardon 19-speaker audio system to elevate its refinement.
Macho Exterior
The Dodge Durango boasts a bold and muscular design reminiscent of its sedan counterpart, the Dodge Charger.
While many family SUVs tend to blend into the traffic, the eye-catching Durango stands out from the crowd.
Much like Dodge’s muscle cars, the Durango lineup offers a range of visually striking options. Models powered by V8 engines feature more aggressive hoods, while the SRT 392 and SRT Hellcat variants boast unique wheel designs, red brake calipers, and distinctive SRT badging.
Positioned within the midsize 3-row SUV class, the Durango’s dimensions align with competitors like the Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot, and Jeep Grand Cherokee L.
