5 Reasons to Choose the 2020 Dodge Durango

Take a three-row crossover SUV and put a powerful engine in it and you have a muscle car that can take you off-roading or zipping down the highway in style. With a sleek exterior, solid powertrain options, and a fun car to drive, the Durango gives other subcompact SUVs a run for their money. Let’s look at five reasons why you should choose the 2020 Dodge Durango for your next exciting car to drive. 

Stylish Exterior 

The head-turning look of the five trim levels, SXT, GT, Citadel, R/T, and sporty SRT feature an aggressive split crosshair grille, a jaw-dropping fascia, slick LED lighting, and on select trims, available dual Mopar racing stripes. For extra carrying capacity, choose the optional Mopar roof rack or available bike carrier so you can get your mountain bike out to the trailhead for a day of adventure riding. 

Powerful Performance 

A 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine that delivers 295 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque is available for all trim levels. For more performance from your Durango, you’ll have two V-8 engine options. Standard on the R/T trim and available for the others is the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 360-horsepower engine with 390 pound-feet of torque. 

Up the power with the 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 475-horsepower engine with a massive 470 pound-feet of torque. This engine comes standard on the SRT trim and is optional for the others. Mated with all the engines is an eight-speed automatic transmission with an electronic T-shifter. Paddle shifters on the steering wheel allow you to keep your hands on the wheel when powering down the road. 

Excellent Traction and Towing Capabilities 

All trims come standard with rear-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive, which is standard on the R/T trim. Both drivetrains give you plenty of traction and control when driving around twists and turns or over challenging terrain. When properly equipped, the Durango has a maximum towing capacity of 8,700 pounds. 

Modern Interior 

Three rows of seats fit seven people comfortably. For extra comfort, upgrade to eight-way power-adjustable, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and leather upholstery. With all three rows of seats upright, you get 17.2 cubic feet of cargo space, 43.3 cubic feet with the third row folded, and with both rows folded down, you have 85.1 cubic feet of space. 

All Durango trims come standard with the Uconnect infotainment system and either a 7-inch or 8.4-inch touch screen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard and you can listen to your favorite playlists through a nine-speaker Alpine system or upgrade to the 19-speaker Harman Kardon system. 

Plenty of Driver-Assist Features 

When driving a high-performance car like the Durango, you’ll be happy to know that it comes with lots of safety features. Standard and available driver-assist features include forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and a rear backup camera. Available advanced features include adaptive cruise control, automatic high-beam headlights, and lane-keeping systems.
