The 2026 Dodge Durango is a midsize three-row SUV with seating for up to seven passengers. It competes directly with models like the Ford Explorer, Chevrolet Traverse, and Toyota Highlander. The 2026 model year carries over the platform, three-row configuration, and primary mechanical components from 2025, with increased engine options available on entry-level trims. The standard powertrain consists of a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine rated at 295 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is optional across the lineup for improved traction.
The Durango includes the Uconnect 5 infotainment system as standard, featuring a 10.1-inch touchscreen that provides wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, SiriusXM radio, TomTom navigation, and up to five customizable driver profiles. Standard driver assistance features comprise blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, a rear backup camera, electronic stability control, and advanced brake assist. Available equipment includes adaptive cruise control with stop, lane-keeping assist, forward collision warning with active braking, blind-spot monitoring with trailer coverage, and a 360-degree camera. Integration with the Dodge Connect app enables remote engine start, vehicle location checks, door locks, and service notifications. The Uconnect system also supports over-the-air software updates.
