From its potent lineup of available V-8 engines to its class-leading towing capacity and cargo space, the new Durango has it all. Dodge added all the bells and whistles to the 2019 model, making it the top choice for families and adventurers. Here are five reasons why the 2019 Dodge Durango is the crossover you’ve been looking for.
1. Potent Engine Options
Dodge offers three engine options with the 2019 Durango. Each one tackles daily driving with ease and pairs well with the standard eight-speed automatic transmission. The stock 3.6-liter V-6 delivers 295 horsepower, while the R/T trim touts a standard 360 horsepower, 5.7-liter V-8 that’s also optional on the Citadel trim.
Move to the top of the lineup and get your Durango SRT equipped with a gigantic 6.4-liter V-8 that produces 475 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. It’s one of the most powerful engines in the crossover class.
2. Class-Leading Performance
If you plan to tow, the Durango is for you. It boasts the capability of a larger SUV. When equipped with the V-8 engine, it can pull 8,700 pounds. The Durango gives rivals a run for their money with more best-in-class performance.
Let’s not forget about Durango’s user-friendly Uconnect infotainment system. Feast your eyes on its huge 7-inch touchscreen that offers all the connectivity you demand, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth, two USB ports, and voice recognition. Tech-savvy shoppers will want to upgrade to the larger 8.4-inch touchscreen with the added convenience of navigation.
Music lovers aren’t left out either. If you’re not satisfied with Durango’s premium, standard six-speaker stereo, there’s a 19-speaker Harman Kardon system and a rear-seat entertainment system.
3. Versatile Interior
If you need versatility in your new crossover’s cabin, the Durango has got you covered. It comes in both two- and three-row configurations with optional second-row captain’s chairs. It seats five, six or seven people, depending on which configuration you choose, with durable, cloth upholstery. You can also upgrade to luxurious leather upholstery, heated and power-adjustable seats, and a heated steering wheel.
4. Massive Cargo Hold
The new model year Durango offers more cargo space than most three-row SUVs. You’ll discover 17.2 cubic feet of space behind the third-row, or fold both rows down and reveal a cavernous 85.1 cubic feet of cargo space. The area is wide and deep enough for luggage, camping gear, or bulky furniture. There’s even a fold-flat front passenger seat so you can tote long items.
5. Advanced Safety Features
Each Durango is equipped with a standard rearview camera and plenty of available advanced safety features. Choose a package that includes parking sensors, blind spot monitoring, and lane departure alarms. There’s also rear cross traffic alert, collision warning, and emergency braking. You can also opt for the added protection of automatic high beams and adaptive cruise control.
