What's got three rows of seats, fits seven people and goes more off road than most other SUVs? The all new 2015 Dodge Durango. It's the heavy duty SUV you've been waiting for. For 2015, the Dodge Durango has gotten a very updated look with a clean, yet rugged styling and under its tough exterior it shares similar components to other SUVs. The Durango sits on a five inch wheelbase, 17.2 cubic-feet of cargo space, with all the seats up, and comes with a standard 3.6-liter V6 engine.
At first look, you'll notice how sleek the 2015 Dodge Durango is. On the exterior, the Durango sports big projector beam headlamps and LED running lights on all the trims except the base SXT trim. In the back, the overall look is complimented by attractive LED racetrack lights across the tail which is comprised of 192 individual lamps. The new grille is also slightly slimmer than before, but it still sports the iconic Dodge crosshair mesh with the cross in the center.
The transmission carries over from last year when the Dodge Durango got the updated eight-speed automatic that's found in other Dodge and Chrysler products and is accompanied by a stylish rotary shifter, the same one found in the 2015 RAM 1500, as well as paddle shifters that come equipped in every trim level.
You can get the 2015 Durango in four trims starting with the base SXT and moving up to the Limited, R/T, and Citadel. There are also a few options to go further within certain trims like the SXT Plus. The standard engine, the V6 makes 290 horsepower and puts out 260 pound-feet of torque. However, you can upgrade to the awesome 5.7-liter HEMI V8 which reaches 360 horsepower and an incredible 390 pound-feet of torque. Each model also has a selectable Eco Mode that will change throttle sensitivity and shift points in the transmission to maximize your fuel.
